I'm sure I'm not the only person who couldn't get 'Barkerville' out of his head after watching that VinnyVania stream... so I've been thinking about putting together some sort of lyrical Barkerville song based on some of the lyrics they spitballed during that episode. Since this song would be a bit out of my range to actually sing, I figure I'd test the waters to see if any more musically-inclined Giant Bombers would be interested in collaborating!
I stitched together a few pieces of Simon's Quest music to make a 2-minute song (with Barkerville as the chorus, of course) and have been tooling around with writing some lyrics. As it stands, it's a sort of account of Simon's business trip into Barkerville and experience with having night fall midway through the song. If we want to get really ambitious, I have also been thinking about a short Rock Opera following multiple storylines, like one of the hidden shopkeeps who is trying to feed his family but can't understand why he doesn't have any customers, and a ghost who is eventually killed by Simon.
This could be a lot of fun, so I pose it to you guys... Post your lyrical ideas, possible arrangements, etc here and let's try to make something awesome!
^ Above is the most recent cut of music. Lyrics should pop up as you listen. Takes a few minutes for them to update when added.
