"i'm falling, i'm falling down. i'm screaming, i'm screaming now..."

Yearp, 'Falling' has finally been released but still far from complete. ~~Scratch~~ that, I don't really know if they're really final or in-progress tracks. 'Scar's Remain' is the only song currently within the clutches of Razali and desperately trying to escape to our ears. We still have to wait for that. Anyway, won't make you guys wait anymore, here's 'Falling' from Ethel.

Our band, Ethel, is currently coming to complete 'Running Away'. Title is still under judgement, its not decided yet whether we're gonna title it as that.

Extra Bit
An insight on the current activities of Ethel, which is creation of original songs has dated way back when we were still in Secondary School. Sazali and I were pretty psyched about creating our own songs as we realised the harshness of having to emulate other singer's vocals for bands. We got to a point where we felt the only way to feel comfortable singing to a song is, well, singing to a song you created yourself. Since they're created based on your vocal limitations, you don't need to push yourself when you know you can't reach a certain note or pitch.

So we got about trying to create our own songs but felt that we needed to decide on a rhythm first. Sazali, Firdaus, Fadhli(surprisingly) and I started off with such a simple chord and 'Why' was created, which tentatively got revamped and improved to become 'Scar's Remain'. The rest, is history.

Bands broke up and formed, finally it solidified to Ethel, basically Scarlet Soul minus lead guitarist, Mahathir. Original line up and still original creative minds. 'Falling', 'Take it All Away' and 'Virgin's Said' were created respectively.

Current line-up consisting of:
Sazali percussions
Arfandi bass/rhytm guitar
Hafiz rhythm guitar/bass
Farhan vocals/piano

We were able to contact with Mahathir again since he's undergoing NS. The great lead guitarist that we respect and awe.

That's it for this time's post. More updates on the band's activities in future post's.
