3:43pm I already had this written up but I lost it resetting. Let me tell you about this cool rabbit hole I've been down these past couple of days. I HAVE HAD THE MOST PRODUCTIVE ONLINE SESSIONS LATELY!
The other day after I added that part on my Free Media page where I say I don't die, I multiply, I went searching for the Bebe's Kids soundclip. In searching for that I stumbled onto a song titled We Don't Die, We Multiply! A hip-hop song. I saw it was 14 minutes long and I started salivating. The first verse was in English, but the rest was in some different language.
What a major cocktease! I didn't want to just read the lyrics. I wanted to know what they said with the music! What to do?
The gears in my head started churning. My project presented itself!
I quickly converted the 14 minute video into an MP3 and loaded up Mixcraft. I found the lyrics at https://genius.com/187-mobstaz-we-dont-die-we-multiply-forever-lyrics and I started adding them, patiently, since it's another language. Once that was done, the foundation was set.
Then I started harvesting images. It was quite a laborious chore, but I imaged the hell out of it. A little hurdle or crop here and there and presto. After lots of pictures(About 300) I needed to go through and with the help of Google Translate, translate every single verse from Filipino to English.
I personalized things here and there, but it's basically a still-frame version of the entire video! If I have to lose animation to be able to manipulate this video, it's a small price to pay, especially if this way the song's message is easier to understand. FUCK LANGUAGE-BARRIERS!
I hope I can muster up the entire island of the Philippines with this! US KIDS HAVE HAD IT!
After much diligent work, here are the results:
WDDWM - Filpino lyrics, NO VOCALS
WDDWM - English lyrics, NO VOCALS
The song was too long for vocalremover.org, so I used the old program Audacity, so it still has hints here and there of vocals.
