Only Do As Expected
6 Comment Share
I wrote this song when I was 17. I re-worked a few of the original lyrics and created a backing track. It's ment to be more of a Blues Song. I don't know how to play the Blues. So, I used a couple Guitar Loops! :D Click song info for more.

Electric, Eccentric and Eclectic! Worldly Electronica, with Exotic flare!
(For best listening experience, please use headphones!) An Avant-Gardist to the maximus and connoisseur of Tribal and Dance Music!! : )) "I have always marched to the beat of my own drum...the style is all my OWN!" Art & Music are my passion :) . I'm not in it for anything other then creative expression. As a Visual Artist, I feel most creative while listening to inspirational music. As far as the tunes go...I just like to have fun. I program everything from the synths to the drums, note for note. I occasionally use loops that I manipulate into something completely different from which they started. I also like to add live instruments now and then. I am a Minimalist...and it's just my personal prefrence as an artist. I got into music production, mainly, to create backing tracks for my vocals...since I love to write and sing my own songs. And I guess too, my love of music got me itching to produce some of my own! :) I've been sharing my music online, since 2001...I really got into it in 2004, as I started to collaborate more with other artists. I just do it for fun and for the sake of creative expression. With that said, I create for myself, first and foremost. If you like my tunes, that's cool too!! I've worked in many genres of music. I have some that are real dancers, others...more primal, passionate and or meaningful. I also have some that are just very silly and fun to sing along with! Take you're pick! I am versatile, like that. I've had my music played on a few internet stations across the globe, have been interviewed on a few OMDs and have been featured on "The ZEST Radio Show, CKRG 89.9 FM" with Host Paul Richmond AKA ZEST. Which is a station broadcasting from Glendon Campus at York University and in Toronto Canada. Thanks ZEST & Crew! Click here to hear a clip from one of ZEST's Radio Shows: And a special thanks to all of those DJs out there, that remix and play out my tunes in their night club sets!! And to the folks promoting and blogging my music, thanks friends!! :) Read some of the Reviews we've got; http://usimon.com/LowFlyinCat.htm My Artistic Drive: *I am not a professional on LDs, but I am dyslexic and these are MY personal experiences & findings.* I am a Right Brained Dyslexic artist. Dyslexia is a life long condition. This world would NOT be what it is, without right brained people! Many of the great entertainers, artists, C.E.O.s, Entrepreneurs and inventors/engineers of our times are or were also, Dyslexic. There are SO many, unfair stereotypes of Dyslexic people...when many Dyslexics are in fact, of above average intelligence. There is so much more to it, then literary issues alone. With early intervention, constant practice, hard work and endless tutoring...I've overcome this part. At 6, I could barely get through a simple sentence. I realized THAT early on, that I was "different". It made me self-conscious. But with time and effort, I caught-up in reading and writing etc. I'll never forget those whom had the patience to help me learn. Now, I fully enjoy reading and writing, as you can see! Almost every Dyslexic has the same tail to tell...now, doesn't that say something? ;) Search; "Famous People with Dyslexia" for yourself and read their stories! You'd be very surprised! And...back to the art! I Write/Perform/Produce/Mix/Master/Program/Sequence all of my music(except on collabs of course). I'm just a needle in a hay stack...in a big sea of artists fighting to get to the top. I've became content as a gritty gut bottom feeder. :D

Story behind the song
A song about indifference, misunderstanding and bigotry in the world...and putting yourself in someone else's shoes who might be very different then yourself and realising we are all just the same...really. And/Or being your own person and not fallowing trends...etc
Lyrics
Only Do As Expected What I've came to realise... It isn't just black and white! And how things have became so manic! Ya just want to run out of sight! Cause there is no way in! And no way out! And all that we could think about... Is... Why are we so blind? And try to fade out what they don't like! Or what we have fear of... Why not all just be ourselves? If we can't, what the hell are we here for?! We try and dress to impress the incrowd! But never would we do it, for ourselves! Only do as expected!! Now...don't even ask me why! I had to beg myself... just to be like everyone else! Oh, in a world I faked! And felt like a disgrace! I'll give you my old sneekers... just to give you a taste! Of what it's like to be... put in your place... or spit in your face... fuiled with so much pain... it could take you to space! Oh Oh Ohhhhh!! Why are we so blind? And try to fade out what they don't like! Or what we have fear of... Why not all just be ourselves? If we can't, what the hell are we here for?! We try and dress to impress the incrowd! But never would we do it, for ourselves! Only do as expected!! Vocal Riff Why are we so blind? And try to fade out what they don't like! Or what we have fear of... Why not all just be ourselves? If we can't, what the hell are we here for?! We try and dress to impress the incrowd! But never would we do it, for ourselves! Only do as expected!! 2012 GinNger SparklezZz

Really a new direction here Jenn..i liked how the lyrics and melody "do their own thing" while that huge relentless beat is throbbing. great effects well placed and i liked that litle jazzy thing before the last verse. This music is SO different for me i have a hard time finding words...but one thing is sure...you have your own style and you did a fine job on this one in all respects. you go girl!
