Racon- are you re-working your idea? Or withdrawing it?
I was struck with inspiration for our anthem today though, so stay tuned guys!

And I do appreciate the willingness to sign up Roy, but I would like to spread it out more. We’ll also be doing that more concretely as the show time becomes more concrete.

You too loop? I’m working on a slightly altered version of ‘the sound of silence’ myself. Regardless of if it’s used, I want to work with you on doing it as a mine craft music video :D

Play this:

And sing this:

Hello minecraft my old friend
I’ve come to play with you again
There was a creeper that had krept in
Left a crater while I was crafting
And a vision that was planted in my brain
must be made
within the world of minecraft

So I set out all alone
Away from towers of cobble stone
Far away from any portal
Past Biomes that are cold and damp
When my gut was pierced
By the arrow of a skeleton
But still I walked
Because I am
A hermit

I might re-write the rest of the song too, but we are limited for the actual anthem so the first two verseus is all we have time for anyway. It also wouldn’t be too hard to make that toon in mc ;)

i regret not being able to help in the anthem part of this. i do have some audio editing software which i can use a bit. so if we have a final-ish version i might be able to better it slightly. though dont go expecting miracles.

just throwing out the will to help out. (and wish i was better at making music)

Haha Lucky I like it! What are you doing going through Watchmen for the song instead of Simon and Garfunkel though >:/

I guess I should show my hand too –

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EJSkJlh_fg

Nobody knows the life that I lead
Nobody knows but Fraser
Nobody knows the life that I lead
No-o, no-o, no

Sometimes I’m lost, sometimes I’m found
Oh, yes, Frash
Most times I’m the only one around
Oh, yes, Frash

Nobody knows where I live no more
Nobody knows my home town
Nobody knows where I live no more
No-o, no-o, no (alternatively: “Guess I’m just a hermit”)

I would love to make both music videos actually, regardless of which we use.
And thanks for the offer Dragon. We’ll see as we actually try to put it together.

Alright team! So we have three anthems up for a vote –

1) Sounds of Minecraft by LuckySimon (p.12)
2) Nobody Knows where I Live No More by LoopH0LE (p.12)
3) Looks like I’m Alone Again and I Feel Fine by Racon_ (p.11)

Please PM me your votes!

Also, we need to start sorting out the teams, so please check Silent’s updated event thread with the events’ competitors, and let me know if there are any discrepancies.

Sounds of Minecraft by LuckySimon is my pick. I could even help sing that!

I vote for Sounds of Minecraft. The music is just so hauntingly lonely which I think is the perfect tone for The Hermits. Also, are we going to shoot a second video foyour anthem?

Cool news, provided the show is after Wednesday I can get a really good female singer to do it.

So, I’m back!

I still won’t be online in MC, probably, since this pc is kinda crappy, but I’d just like to say that I’ll be cheering for you guys. And that Sounds of Minecraft is made of pure awesome.

A great game for you all.

That sounds pretty resounding for Sounds of Minecraft!

Ooo. A female???? Would we do a solo with her then? Or figure out how to do a cross-internet duet with MrCheese? Are you going to find a karaoke version to sing over? Let me know Lucky.

Alsooo, since I’d still like to make it, here’s the MP3 for Nobody knows. What I need for that is three people on at the same time, two in their uniformed skin, and one person who could wear my skin. We could do it so that my skin sub is the star for Sounds of Minecraft, so everybody gets some of the spotlight. And Racon, if you’d like to make a music video for I feel fine, let me know :)

For anyone interested, I just finished the full version of the song:

Hello minecraft my old friend
I’ve come to play with you again
There was a creeper that had krept in
Left a crater while I was crafting
And a vision that was planted in my brain
must be made
within the world of minecraft

So I set out all alone
Away from towers of cobble stone
Far away from any portal
Past the Biomes that were cold and damp
When my gut was pierced
By the arrow of a skeleton
But still I walked
Because I am
A hermit

And in dark ravine I saw
a dozen zombies maybe more
People chatting without speaking
Some were mining and some building
People making things
that were incredible to behold
And it was theirs
within the world of Minecraft

“Friends” said I,”You do not know
Hermits like to live alone.
But I more than happy to meet you,
and I will try to come and help you.”
But my words like booming thunder fell,
and echoed
In the world of Minecraft”

And the people bowed and swayed
arround the internet god they made.
And the console flashed its warning,
That the server was now restarting.
And someone said
“I just found some diamond in this huge mineshaft wall”
but that’s normal
They will return to minecraft.

Wow I really like those lyrics! Found myself singing along to it and its really catchy. Nice jorb Lucky!

the last few lines (the part after ‘that the server was restarting’) gave me the most trouble out of the whole song.

The singer I’m getting is my sister. She’s not pro only because she pursued fitness instead (that’s not just a brother commenting either, she won ever contest she ever entered). I just sent her the lyrics and the song. She’s going to try it out and see if she can sing as low as the song needs before promising anything though.

So, anyone good at making music with music blocks in minecraft? I think it would be awesome if we can replace even just the guitar with those :D If not I have a lyricless version or she can play the guitar for it.

I feel like making a note block version of this song will be insanely hard, but thats coming from a guy that hasn’t messed with note blocks that much… Also, tell your sister that shes awesome.

Awesome sauce Lucky. Yeah let’s do the whole thing! And then we’ll skim it down for the anthem.

Well doing it with noteblocks can actually be fairly easy. With noteblock studio you can turn a MIDI file into a noteblock song without actually having to make it. I’ve done song noteblock crafting with sheet music before too, so we can do that if it doesn’t work. What do you guys think?
