A Song for Sifty - Lyrics by oxdottir
Here it is:
http://sd.fishbonerocket.com/Upload/Sifty.mp3
It is based on UB40's version of Swing Low Sweet Chariot for more instumentation to hide my mediocre singing...
I really could have used some female voices in the choir, there's only so much one man can do... So if any lady sifters feel like recording there voices and sending them to me, please be my guest

K0MMIELyrics don't make much sense... balance the load?
oxdottirKommie, when I read Lucky's post about the new servers that we all contributed to being used for load balancing (http://blog.videosift.com/lucky760/The-Load-is-Balanced), for some reason it made me think of spirituals. That's why the lyrics are about balancing the load.
Crazy Drummer! If I were younger I would offer to have your children. That was so wonderful. I've had technical ideas turn into the real thing via the work of students, but I've never in my life had a thought turn into music before! That was sooooo wonderful! It's probably the best present I will get this holiday season. You made my month!
Enough exclams, but honestly, thank you so much.
lucky760Absolutely fantastic! Very well done oxdottir and Crazy-Drummer. Now all we need is someone to make a music video out of it.
dagComment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)
Great!
thesnipeAmazing contribution!!!!
swampgirlAwesome!
swampgirlNow all we need to do now is record "The 12 Days of Siftmas"
Crazy-drummer says...Oh swampgirl don't tempt me...
swampgirlI mentioned something to Snipe too......gather a few soundbytes of members doing a line?
By this time next year we could put out the VideoSift album
choggieneeds some more instrumentation....with that beat, I'd say maybe......some kinna unconventional ensemble of sitar, didgeridoo , and jews harp...some boing boing sounds...and maybe some tounge clicks and frog mating croaks....Way to get inspired, crazy-drummer-maybe loop your own voice with harmonic layers....are you onna MAC????
blankfistHaha! Great!
mlxLove it!
Crazy-drummer says...I used some plugins to generate different harmonics, vibrato, pitch variation and basically change my voice on the different tracks, works well with choirs but not with a lead solo voice.
No I'm on a Pc
But I agree, it feels a little empty...Though I'm not sure the "sitar digeridoo harp boingboign tounge clicks frog croak" combo would really work... but it might be worth a shot...
want a remix?
ravenI'd lend you a female voice if I could sing... but really, there are reasons a raven is my avatar, and lack of vocal talent is one of them
Awesome job on the song though, both of you!
