I've written and recorded this awesome song. What should I do now?
You need to be careful about how you go about this. First off, good job on writing a song. Don't fall into the trap of writing music as a business venture. Music isn't all about money. In fact, that should be the last thing. Music is an art form. People spend their lives perfecting their techniques, and using these to write the most beautiful things they can. As appealing as having your material being played on the radio or the charts is, aside from the fact that you're aiming a little too high to start, the majority of the artists that are there are doing it purely for money. Don't become one.Hope this helps! :)
A song called put your record on?
SO YOU CAN JAM WHEN YOU HEAR IT! AND YEA IS CORRINNE BAILEY RAE! Three little birds, sat on my window. And they told me I don't need to worry. Summer came like cinnamon So sweet, Little girls double-dutch on the concrete. Maybe sometimes, we've got it wrong, but it's alright The more things seem to change, the more they stay the same Oh, don't you hesitate. Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song You go ahead, let your hair down Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams, Just go ahead, let your hair down. You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow. Blue as the sky, sunburnt and lonely, Sipping tea in the bar by the roadside, (just relax, just relax) Don't you let those other boys fool you, Got to love that afro hair do. Maybe sometimes, we feel afraid, but it's alright The more you stay the same, the more they seem to change. Don't you think it's strange? Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song You go ahead, let your hair down Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams, Just go ahead, let your hair down. You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow. 'Twas more than I could take, pity for pity's sake Some nights kept me awake, I thought that I was stronger When you gonna realise, that you don't even have to try any longer? Do what you want to. Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song You go ahead, let your hair down Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams, Just go ahead, let your hair down. Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song You go ahead, let your hair down Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams, Just go ahead, let your hair down. Oh, you're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow
What was the first recorded song to use a fade out instead of just ending?
Neat question! The historic "first" depends on what counts as "fading out." If you just mean a recording in which the music "fades away" to nothing at the end, the earliest I've heard is an 1894 Berliner disc recording of "The Spirit of '76" by a fife and drum corps playing "Yankee Doodle." The performers presumably just moved away from the recording equipment -- it was supposed to sound like the fife and drum corps was marching past the listener in parade. If you mean a recording in which the recording level is artificially turned down at the end (a "board fade"), it might have been "Beyond the Blue Horizon" by George Olsen (1930) -- but the effect was meant to simulate the sound of the performer departing on a train, so again, there was a real-world "explanation" for the sound. In any case, a board fade wouldn't have been possible as such before the commercial introduction of electric recording in the mid-1920s. So even though we don't have the original Thomas Edison "Mary Had a Little Lamb" recording, he wouldn't have had the technology for a "board fade." :) The earliest cases I know of in which a board fade was used in the modern way, as a mere "musical effect," were "Old Man Harlem" and "Shim Sham Shimmy" by the Dorsey Brothers (both 1933) -- you can hear them at http://www.redhotjazz.com/dorseybros.html. "Shim Sham Shimmy" fades in at the beginning and out at the end; "Old Man Harlem" just fades out at the end. I've seen both Peggy Lee's "Manana" (1948) and Joni James' "Why Don't You Believe Me" (1952) cited as the first example of a board fade. As you can hear, they weren't -- but board fades were still rare enough then for people to believe such statements after the fact. By the 1960s they were very common. Generally, board fades are a handy way to let performers off the hook when they don't otherwise have a clear-cut ending to a song. I've also seen it suggested that they foster an illusion that the song keeps going on forever... but not sure I buy that.

I went to bangkok recently, recorded a song from my MP3 but only recorded 75% of it,cant find the title, help!
I was on holiday in Bangkok from 14th to 16th May,i was plugging in to my MP3 listening to the radio at Suvarnabhumi waiting for my return flight.came across a nice song and managed to record part of it in MP3 format, but i didnt manage to record the whole song and the title if it was mentioned cos i had to check in by then, however, 75% of the song was recorded. Is there any website that can analyse the song for me? Its a Thai song though. and i dont have a Thai friend here. A part of the song goes like this : " ja korn nern chng yi korn pon rom ai chok guem neun gan.kur chen che, ler kep chai way mor,kon ti por di chuk yang hau gerb chen........korn nuen bpen cher dai mai.....
