I started with the two different pronunciations to set up some verses and went from there. Decided to do a slap-back Elvis impression for the debauchery and the chorus is basically a Greek chorus commenting on the inevitable fate of the protagonist(s). Never really considered it to be two people. Maybe he learned a new pronunciation while in jail and making that phone call.Aciniform Artifice wrote: ↑Mon Apr 29, 2024 8:14 amFrankie Big Face – bouncing between so many different vocal effects (from mostly clean, to drowned in reverb, to a whole myriad of others – except for a de-esser) can be a little jarring, almost as much as bouncing between pronunciations of ne-VAD-uh versus ne-VAH-duh. If that’s supposed to imply a different person’s POV for each verse, then it would make sense, but that isn’t really clear. In fact, it sounds more like the same person before and after a night out partying and gambling. Anyway, individually everything here sounds pretty sweet, but I’m not sure the assembled product comes together cohesively as a winner. I don’t hate it, though.
There are lots of places (Missouri, New Orleans, Louisville, Iowa) where the locals have strong opinions on how the place name is pronounced, and after spending some amount of time there, that pronunciation will likely rub off on a visitor.frankie big face wrote: ↑Mon Apr 29, 2024 9:28 amMaybe he learned a new pronunciation while in jail
Thanks!! Yeah the lyrics aren't a generalization about the people of Nevada, but I can totally get why that comes across. It really was about this racist guy I met that justified his actions with the phrase "well, I'm from Nevada".reve wrote: ↑Mon Apr 29, 2024 5:16 pmState Shirt
This is musically my favorite track... but I feel like you might be mistaking Nevada for someone else? Roughly 86 percent of Nevada's US Senators and Representatives are Democrats. That's a higher percentage than my home state of California, for instance.
You might say that the long neeevvvvvaaaaaaaaaaaaadaaaaaaaaaaaaaas are just taking up a lot of horizontal space in the timelinestarfinger wrote: ↑Tue Apr 30, 2024 9:14 amsockpuppet - that's a really jaunty bassline. i'm tickled by the vocal processing. i'm a sucker for all the little sounds, but i am on the edge of my seat waiting for something to change. yeah the constant short bass loop makes this feel like a wesley willis song with better production.
