FINAL C3THON RELEASE
Taylor Swift – New Year’s Day
My closing song for C3thon also happens to be the closing track for T Swift’s newest album, reputation. Compared to the heavy pop influence of the rest of the album, New Year’s Day is a departure for her: a piano driven ballad about what happens after the party. Your real friends, she says, aren’t just the ones who are there for you at midnight – they’re the ones who do the hard work, who pick up the bottles with you after the guests have gone home. It’s a great image, and one I think we can all relate to this time of year.
I hope you all enjoy this quiet little track as much I do. Merry Christmas, good people of C3, and have a wonderful New Year.

Not the whole thing, but if you check my WIP thread you may be pleasantly surprised…

It’s been a long time since I’ve joined the customs scene here at C3, and when I look back at my earliest waves of customs, it’s amazing to see how I’ve grown as an author since then. The first few songs I released were… less than stellar. I was a newbie, figuring things out as I went, and as a result the customs got bogged down by a lot of newbie mistakes. I’m hardly a perfect charter now, but I’ve learned a lot over the years. And I figured it was only right that some of the awesome songs I charted back then get the customs treatment they deserve.
These four songs are some of my earliest customs, and they’ve all been massively rehauled. Some instruments have been touched up a bit; others have been recharted entirely. They now all sport snazzy new dryvox, animations, and venues. No pro keys yet (still a bit beyond me) but all songs sport harmonies where applicable. A very special thanks to Atruejedi, who provided harmonies for Come With Me Now.
Are these songs perfect? Hell no. But are they immensely more polished and playable? You betcha. If you have these in your library, definitely download the new versions. I think I’m just about done with them for now (although please let me know if there’s anything gamebreaking) but this definitely won’t be the last time I revisit some old customs. It’s been a real treat making these old favorites of mine new and sparkly again.
On to the songs!
Halestorm – Here’s to Us
http://pksage.com/cc…es-to-us-r10493
A fantastic anthem for all the times you’ve ever f***ed up and picked yourself back up again. One of Halestorm’s biggest hits. CHANGES: radical vocal rechart, harmonies added, difficulties adjusted, retouches on drums, bass, and guitar, dryvox, venue, and animations
KONGOS – Come With Me Now
http://pksage.com/ccc/IPS/index.php?/page/index.html/_/come-with-me-now-r10683
A huge radio hit from 2014 and a breakthrough song for KONGOS. CHANGES: vocals retouched by Atruejedi & harmonies added, drums, bass, and keys recharted, retouches on guitar, dryvox, venue, and animations
SafetySuit – Hallelujah
http://pksage.com/cc…llelujah-r10492
Everyone knows this song, although probably not this version. A fantastic cover with a super fun solo. CHANGES: Basically everything. This song has a 3/4 time signature and I, not knowing any better, tempo mapped it in 4/4. The whole thing’s been redone from scratch with all the bells and whistles (venue, dryvox, and animations included)
Shiny Toy Guns – Le Disko
http://pksage.com/ccc/IPS/index.php?/page/index.html/_/le-disko-r10501
One of my absolute favorite songs by the indie electropop band Shiny Toy Guns. CHANGES: Multitracks added (!!!), difficulties adjusted, harmonies added, guitar and drums recharted, retouches on bass and keys, dryvox, venue, and animations
Hope you enjoy, everybody!
I was looking in your WIP thread, and noticed you had quite a few Taylor Swift songs basically completed but didn’t see them posted anywhere here or in the Customs Database. Any chance of releasing those anytime soon?

Seconded! I was considering charting “Welcome to New York” and “I wish you would” and didn’t notice someone had done those already but not released. You better release the work you’ve done or someone else would!
I added manual Pro Keys reductions to this, would you like them to be shared?
I also made an alternative version of the drums chart, as the original doesn’t fully correspond to how the drummer really plays it live. I think you should at least take a look at it.

Fieldy retired from customs, but I stay in contact with him on Discord. PM me the files and I’ll have him update the database.

Oh ok… I tried to PM him a month ago as his C3 profile always say “last seen today” so I had no idea he was not around… I will send my files to you, thanks!

That is a big bummer, I really enjoyed his work…and your collabs, particularly on the Twenty One Pilots project! Grateful for what he did while he was active.
Wow, 21 Pilots
” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_smile.gif” />I’m back! Life has been busy, and until quarantine hit I didn’t really have time to work on customs anymore. Now that I have a bit more time on my hands, I’m hoping to release the last batch of customs that’s been sitting in my WIP queue for awhile.
I’m going to do my best to make these tracks as polished as possible, but expect some things to be missing, like pro keys or (in some cases) harmonies. If you see a song that you’d like to add those elements to, let me know and I’d be happy to do a collab with you!
Alright, enough with the preamble. On to the customs…
Just in time for the end of Pride month, here’s a pack of songs by LGBT artists and allies to the queer community.
Steve Grand – All-American Boy
First up, the title track off of the 2015 album “All-American Boy,” by openly gay country artist Steve Grand. In a rare move for the genre, Grand sings a heartfelt song about his feelings for another man and the desire for those feelings to be reciprocated. Highlights of the song: Grand’s passionate vocals, and a pretty fun guitar solo.
Panic at the Disco – Girls/Girls/Boys
This hit song by Panic! at the Disco is actually about lead vocalist Brendon Urie’s first threesome experience, but it’s since become an anthem for the band’s LGBT fanbase. To quote Urie in the chorus: “Love is not a choice.” This one’s a blast to sing and has a seriously infectious bassline.Thanks to Fat Ha1p3rt for the venue, overdrive, animations, practice sections, and authored reductions!Annie Murphy – A Little Bit Alexis
The recently concluded Schitt’s Creek was (surprisingly) one of the most LGBT friendly shows of the last several years, featuring a variety of queer characters and one of the healthiest gay relationships I’ve ever seen on television. This song is from the “critically reviewed” limited reality series starring the show’s fictional character, Alexis Rose. A lighthearted parody of 2000’s era pop stars like Britney Spears, this song would fit in well at any gay bar. The guitar and bassline may surprise you on this one.
Kelly – Shoes
Surprise, betches. This song was inescapable in 2006, hailing from one of YouTube’s biggest viral sensations at the time. Liam Kyle Sullivan’s gender-bent persona, Kelly, became a popular figure in the gay community and even appeared in a series of anti-gay bullying campaign videos called FCKH8. While the song is relatively simple to play, the nostalgia is strong with this one.That’s it for now. Happy Pride, and stay tuned for more future customs!
