the title is: TRACKS

i chose this title for many reasons...

I am doing a concept CD. I originally was going to make a short CD (more like an EP) telling a fictional story. Now that time is crunching down I think instead of a CD i want to write the songs and the music but if I don't get a chance to record it then thats fine. I don't have any singers or rappers and I don't want to do it myself because I can't do either. So what I'm thinking now is that if I can just get the songs done I can actually record it later but without the pressure of the due date because recording is expensive unless I do it at home and I only have a condenser mic. I'm using FL studio to pruduce beats which is software and audacity which is free. Story: (don't read if you don't want it spoiled) Basically the story is about this guy Johnny (the most generic name ever) who is lured into a life of drugs and crime by a girl who I didn't give a name because it doesn't really matter. I was originally going to give her the street name of a drug but I couldn't think of any good ones. Basically he is in this drug immersed life secluded from everyone and his mother won't even talk to him. He starts getting delusional and thinks hes going to live forever because of this girl and that he is awesome and narsassistic and stuff. Then I'm thinking of going two ways. he either commits a crime with the girl pushing him to do it and then she leaves him OR he needs/wants more drugs so he like sells the girl but I think that might be too dark. Either way the girl is going to leave him and then hes going to get really depressed and then basically goes crazy. He starts to question if the girl is even real or just his imagination or the drugs. Something else happens I don't know yet maybe he will get clean or hit rock bottom I havent decided. Then he is walking down the street one day and he either thinks he sees the girl across the street or he is making a deal or something but either way he is distracted and gets shot. The girl might have shot him if I choose to make them meet again but it might be his imagination. If I choose to make him see her across the street I might make her be with some other guy who looks like he was in the same situation Johnny used to be in like looking in a mirror. So any way he dies and thats it. Its kind of like a mind trick like the listener/reader doesn't even know if the girl is real or not like fight club. I'll drop little hints that you would have to look back and listen again that would make you question if she was real, a drug, or his imagination. I was thinking that if he sold the girl it would be like him selling his drug or something. I don't know I have a lot of ideas and I need to write them all down.

EDIT: so im thinking since time is winding down my goal is to record two of these songs (2 and 3) so I can have something to hand in/listen to, the other songs should be done by the end of the project but the goal is to record two. I hate that I had so much planned but not enough time. If anyone wants to sing lemme know...uuummm soo yeah and I'm thinking of recording afterschool next week. my cousin is in the music biz so he might help me on song #2 hopefully he might be able to find singers/ a rapper.

I don't have titles yet

I'll try to put the instrumentals to the songs in the link when I get a chance
 * musical suggestions are good too*

@First Song- The narroration which pretty much talks about the before story and tells that Johnny was lured into crime and his mom wants nothing to do with him.

@Second Song- Johnny getting into the drugs and in the second verse he starts to get more delusional as he gets addicted and knows he is addicted to the drugs and girl.

@Third Song- I was originally going to make this about him being high but then I thought that the character was too one dimensional so I will probably make this about him still having a soul or god leaving him or something. basically he feels alone in himself.

@Fourth Song- The girl makes Johnny commit an unnamed crime that traumatizes him or like he is shocked by it. She leaves at the end of the song. Also, Johnny doesn't want to do what she is telling him to do.

@Fifth Song- he becomes depressed and then crazy I might combine 5 and 6 maaaaybeee @Sixth Song- He either cleans up or hits rock bottom. he gets shot and dies??? I don't know yet

@Seventh Song- The same beat as the first song pretty much summing up the story
 * I might not include the seventh song*
