Hey guys! it'll be a dream come true for me if we could perform (an abridged version) of this song for our final! i think the song goes along really well with our epic-greek poetry theme.
The first half of the song could be used as an opening/intro thing for the performance; the chanting during the bridge could be used during the "epic multi-body evil robot fight scene". We could even parody the music video, incorporate scenes into our performance, or perhaps project the video? (i mean come on, cowboys with unicorns and laser pistols?!)
There aren't many lyrics in the song; pretty simple and relevant if you ask me:
Come ride with me
Through the veins of history
I'll show you how god
Falls asleep on the job
And how can we win
When fools can be kings
Don't waste your time
Or time will waste you
No one's gonna take me alive
The time has come to make things right
You and I must fight for our rights
You and I must fight to survive
I don't know if it's too much trouble/complicated, but here's a possible arrangement:
Will - reduced drums (maybe just a snare + hi-hat, hopefully base drum?)
Adam - trumpet for the opening solo (i'm assuming you can play it haha)
Jacob - double bass
Harry - vocals + acoustic guitar / improv acting
Stephen - vocals / improv acting
Clifton - electric guitar
We should all come in during the "ahhh, ahhh, ahhhh" parts of the song. it's pretty crowd-sing-along worthy.
haha i'll probably perform a section of the song on wednesday, and see what you guys think!
