Hi everybody!

I am new here and like to tell you about the musical project I'm doing with some browncoats and dedicated followers from a german forum.

I am austrian, musican and fan.
In the 90s, I was part of the star based fandom in austria and germany and did a lot of music about star trek.
This music was released on a couple of Cds and got around the world.
Anyway, I'm now working on some new songs about firefly and serenity. I dont know if there is any interest in that, but it would be fun to play the songs on future podcasts.
What do you think?

Right now, I have 2 songs to finish, one is called "serenity" (about the ship) and the other is called "River" (about her;)

ok, you guys let me know what you think about it and if there is any interest at all in the music of this musical project????

Questions about the project or songs are welcome;)

Well today I will post the first lyrics of the first four songs:

The first one is in german (spoken words) but I will give you the english translation, written and translated by Kessie:

The song is called in german: Unsere Crew-Serenity

means in english OUR CREW-SERENITY

Kaylee is not afraid of oil and dirt
through her hands every part of the ship works
With her way she makes Serenity and the Crew happy
and you can´t buy such qualities with money.

River is a bit crazy
But reavers dont like her at all
cause if one ever comes near the crew ( oh no)
she beats them into a pulp

Mal clearly is the captain
but it seems he doesn´t know much about love
the war made him bitter
but he´d never leave Serenity

Jayne poses as the hard man
and owns nearly all kinds of weapons
But you have to be carful with him
since a lot of money will make him betray and sell you

Simon is from the upper class
but doesnt notice Kaylee´s love ( for him)
He is busy watching his sister
and known for being a good doc

Sheperd Book is a real preacher
but he also kills knee caps
everything around him seems to be a mystery
will Joss ever solve all that?

Wash flies the Serenity
He never could stop loving Zoe
But plastic dinosaurs are also his life
and he likes to fly through the space in hawaiian shirts

Zoe is a strong woman
who always knows what she wants
She survived the war at Mal´s side
and also found Wash there ( while being at Mal`s side)

Inaras job has its own style
and Mal doesn´t like it at all
its impossible for her to tell him her feelings
because soem secrets that she has should stay in the dark.

Ok the second song is written by Kessie in english and its called:

Reaver

In the darkest nights,
my father told me stories
intending to fright,
played with my childish worries.
He told me of monsters so cruel,
no human mind could comprehend.
I thought he was trying to fool me
but now i really understand.

Happened not too long ago
when we were in outer space
we found our greatest foe
we entered a ship in a haze.
Expected cargo and money
Expected even some gold
we soon discovered the danger
Now I believe what I was told

Chorus:
Fear the Reaver
if you ever see one, you better run
Fear the Reaver
the only thing that`ll help is a gun.

Pieces of human flesh,
was all they left behind,
making me want to dash
but it was too late for that .
Next I saw was even more scary,
then I only remember,
run fast as my legs could carry
cause Reaver never surrender.

These things have no faces,
all what is left is raw flesh,
they like to eat all kinds of races,
and probably even real trash.
Like to torture and rape,
and more you can´t imagin`
you better try to escape
before they get your skin.

Chorus:
Fear the Reaver
if you ever see one, you better run
Fear the Reaver
the only thing that`ll help is a gun.

Bridge
(spoken)
I´ve never seen so much killin`
The blood is on the wall
Their life is rude and restless
It is no time for mercy, we have to kill them all!

I made all the music and stuff,

Are we interested, Kaywin asks? ARE WE INTERESTED?
YES! Absolutely!

(I don't suppose you'd want to write something that we could use to promote June 23-Serenity Day, would you?)

Well, first of all, thanx for the very nice replies!

I hope you listen to the other song as well even when its in german;)
Anyway. I could think about the idea writing a special song for this day.

Maybe we cann make a poll here to ask all people here what they would love to hear:)

Do you have any ideas?

I'm just finish the two other songs and I will post them at the end of the upcoming week. I think you will like them too;)

@Embers: Well, I wrote a lot of star trek songs as well and you can listen to them on my website or on CDbaby.com or earbuzz.com.

Hi Djini!

I definately will! Its lots of fun to do a project with people you dont know and to work together in a creative process over the internet.

Sending mp3s to each other and get the right combination of sounds and ideas is a very big challange for me and I think for all of us.

I dont know if the browncoats needed these songs to be more happy, but for me I am happy enough to give Joss and his Crew something in return for his great work he did on both stuff, the series and the BDM serenity:)

I like to post a new song here and its about the ship, the serenity.I have posted the lyrics on a previous message

Credits:

lyrics: Kessie, Monika und Bernd/Kaywin
mechanic voice: Monika
strings: Jacen
All other instruments, vocals, recording, arrangement: Bernd/Kaywin

Well, I hope you all like this song too. It starts very melancholic and changes the sound on the chorus;)
If someone recognizes the piano theme, i adapted one sequence from greg edmonsons soundtrack, from the track "the funeral".

Please enjoy and let me know what you think,ok?:)

You all stay shiny guys!
