Day 5 - "From the Bottom of My Heart"

Link: http://djwaldkirch.iweb.bsu.edu/day5.mp3

Ok, so here's the thing about this one. I love the song, but as I was working on it, I realized it was almost an exact copy of Tub Ring's "I Could Never Fall In Love With You." Some of the lyrics are similar, the hand claps are the same, the main riff is essentially the same, and lots of other little things came right out of that song. I also stole a little melody from the intro of "Colors of the Wind" from Pocahontas, for whatever reason. AND on top of that, there's a little nod to Dick Dale in the guitar solo track. You'll hear all of it. So, awesome song, but written with questionable methods.

In the song, our hero decides he needs to see the beautiful plumber again. His new love is clouding his judgement, and so he decides that the only way to see her again is to sabotage his plumbing so that she returns. Yes, in today's futuristic world, we can actually call businesses on the telephone and find out employee's names, but that's just not very romantic.

The lyrics, since it's a little muddy:

Now I know just what I have to do
So that I know exactly where you’ll be
From the bottom of my heart
I’ll tear it all apart
Just to make you fall in love with me

There will be destruction by my hand
My living room will turn into a sea
Oh it’s such a shame
I don’t even know your name
But soon enough you’ll be alone with me.

I pick up a hammer and prepare
I target everything that I can see
From the bottom of my heart
I’ll tear it all apart
Just to make you fall in love with me.

So yep, I like this one, though the mixing is kind of a nightmare. Comments!
