Lights

Ellie Goulding – Lights
Ellie Goulding was welcomed into the mainstream with open arms thanks to this spotlight song. Released in the US as the first track in her debut EP, Ellie Goulding sings to the world about her traumatic childhood experiences in the dark until a hero showed her the way. After being satisfied with her first impressions, she emphasized the song, releasing an album and single version of the same name several months later.

Wow!
The further we progress into C3Thon, author submissions get even more impressive. Outstanding work everyone!
Thanks Naruto and crew for the prog pack. It adds much more depth and variety to the game from our user/player perspective.
Oddbrother’s choice of Ellie Goulding’s Lights comes as a very pleasant surprise as well. A ‘must have’ for our library. Thank You!
Farottone was right, at the rate this is going, I BELIEVE it’s gonna be a TON of great new content!
It’s just gonna be tough making cuts on my usb stick to accommodate the 3k limit for the game…what to do?, what to do?….

” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_smile.gif” /> Quite an accomplishment there...and thanks for the Ellie Goulding, Oddbrother! That one is growing on me.
Just wanted to say thanks to everyone involved! This is a great cause and I have donated $50, and I’ll make another donation at the end if I greatly exceed that number by the time all is said and done..

Thank you so much, this is why we’ve been keeping all authors locked in a basement for months sweating on customs!

Pixies 7-pack
by Kloporte and MrPrezident
Pixies – Gigantic
Possibly the most recognizable bass riff of the late 80’s, one night bassist Kim Deal sat down with her husband and wrote this song about a white woman watching a black man have sex. It is one of the only Pixies songs that Kim takes the lead vocals on, and a crowd favourite.
Pixies – Broken Face
You have to leave it to Black Francis to write a catchy punk song about self mutilation, facial disfigurement, and incest. However despite this the song leaves you very satisfied (and maybe a bit dirty).
Pixies – Wave of Mutilation UK Surf
The title of the song refers to a phenomenon that swept Japan in the late 80’s which involved Japanese men driving off piers due to failures in business. Rock Band 1 included the original studio version from Doolitle, but they also recorded this slowed-down version, and many concerts feature both versions.
Pixies – What Goes Boom
Guitarist Joey Santiago claimed 2013’s “What Goes Boom” is simply about a girl who plays bass guitar, and also “..a ballsy song with balls-out playing, and it harkens back to a lot of the harder-edged Pixies stuff, which is my favourite to play”
Pixies – Is She Weird
This song is as weird as it is catchy. The lyrics are surreal and often sexual, and the song gradually gets more and more intense.
Pixies – Break My Body
Once again, the lyrics are very sexual and ambiguous. Some claim it’s about self-hatred, others will say it’s S&M or incest. The chorus features a great duet between Frank Black and Kim Deal.
Pixies – Alec Eiffel
The song references the French engineer Alexandre Gustave Eiffel, who designed the Eiffel Tower and the Statue of Liberty; Francis thought it was a “fascinating subject” to compose a song about. This song is pretty fast-paced and guitar is definitely the highlight of this song.

It’s cool to see some multitracks (I know they’re rare to get), but I wish there was a Wii-compatible multitrack for this song. If the MOGG wasn’t protected I’d do it myself, but if you’re willing to PM me it I can put together a Wii version for you to share.

Shakunetsu Beach Side Bunny
by SamyazaDJ Mass MAD Izm* – Shakunetsu Beach Side Bunny
There’s a surprising lack of Bemani music in Rock Band (one of these days I’m gonna finish that RED ZONE/Butterfly/Boom Boom Dollar 3-pack…), so here’s beatmania IIDX 18 Resort Anthem’s One More Extra Stage. It’s infamous in its home series for having loads of turntable notes (more than 1/3 of them on the hardest difficulty!) and now you get to try and replicate them on a plastic guitar.
Guitar: You play the scratches, and they’re relentless. All over the place, mostly 16ths with a couple of 32nd runs… have fun.
Bass: It’s mostly just a simplified version of the Keys chart. Not hard, but pretty fun.
Drums: Lots of quick hi-hat runs with off-beat kicks thrown in. The only difference between 1x and 2x is halved kicks in one section near the beginning.
Vocals: Mostly just shouts of “Yo!” and “Hey!”, but there are two pretty fun percussion sections.
Keys: Lots of chords… and some extremely fast strings of notes. Hammer those keys!
Thanks to atupomaruru and TheWay123 for advice on the Keys chart!

The next author up at November 29th, 2PM EST-20:00 CET is atupomaruru. She’s got a duet from the longest running show on Broadway for us!
Thanks a lot I love beatmania, I’ve played since the 1st to 11th, the rest on IIDXmania, Wow this song is amazing i hope see the rest of your future songs, amazing!

The Phantom of the Opera
by atupomaruruNightwish – The Phantom of the Opera
The well known duet from the musical bearing the same name, in symphonic metal glory performed by Nightwish! Watch out for the vocals, this song has the most insane range I’ve ever authored in a song, with both voices having really impressive reach, and the poor soul who gives solo vocals a try being treated to the highs and lows of each of them!
Song count so far: 65
The next author up at November 29th, 10PM EST-04:00 CET is MrPrezident. Here’s what I got out of him when asking about the upcoming release.
Intense, powerful and absolutely astounding!!!!
Thoroughly enjoyed the show when we saw it here in Seattle….But this Nightwish rendition (which we hadn’t heard before)…wow!!…OMG!! JUST,….WOW!!
Thank You, atupomaruru!

Canada 150 Week by MrPrezident!
Sloan – Unkind
Lost somewhere between homage and invention, Sloan have been Canada’s craftsmen of riffs and harmonies for over two decades.
The Sheepdogs – Bad Lieutenant
A crime bust gone wrong encourages the less-than-law-abiding behaviour of our protagonist.
Venue by Samyaza
The Sheepdogs – I Don’t Know
“They’re Canada’s Black Keys” – Samyaza
With assistance from Spindoctor
Based on micicle’s FOF chartThe Tragically Hip – Courage
Drums by Crazy Canuck
Gord and the boys pay their respects to the author of Barometer Rising, his novel about the social class struggles of Nova Scotia and the Halifax Explosion of 1917.
The Tragically Hip – Ahead by a Century
A once popular (but now largely dismissed) method of killing hornets was to fill their nests with smoke. The tradition was a hold over from the days when men were men and tough guys had no problem sticking their limbs near a hornet’s nest while holding a burning object. However this is not a practical means of eradicating the hornet.
The Tragically Hip – Nautical Disaster
As our narrator begins to dream he comes face to face with the heartless reality of war, on May 26 1941, off the coast of France. What could bring about a dreamscape of such horrific consequence? Her name was Susan.
I’ll be back the same time tomorrow with Canada 150 week, Part Deux!
