Default left behind blues

left behind blues C 111 bpm

https://soundcloud.com/wadosy/left-hehind-blues

.
rapture's comin' and that's good news
so there aint no sense in singin the blues
but you can pray for a plague... maybe a big nuke war

then the man swoops down out of a cloud
and swoop us all up and we'll be so proud but
say a little prayer for the folks

we leave behind

.

need words for a second verse and something to go in that big hole in the middle

maybe the guitar track is too far out of time to deal with...

i'll udate the mp3 after I learn the song, but it realy needs more words and maybe a chorus

and hold on tight

you I think, asked me the other day how I worked... that's changing as my eyes fail

I write a verse and do a pilot track of that verse and the guitar cause I never really got the hang of playing the guitar then adding a vocal...

after half a million takes, I finally get a passable version

...so that first verse has got to be short enough to read as I'm playing...

the answer would be a video that scrolls great big words synched the music...

anyhow, I'm kinda reduced to recording one verse first, including the guitar--- then I can loop the guitar, blow new words up as big as I can and scroll them by hand as I'm singing

.

the alternative is learning the song cold... that takes a week or so, because the words are always changing

No obligations, I spent years playing solos to this kind of song, 30 or 40 times a night, so I'll see if I can bang out something good while having fun with it. Its all good practice to me.

I was actually thinking about the fish. Something about it just hit me - not sure if I remember why - but it made sense at the time.

that "four five seconds" song was quite a project, apparently... nine collaborators, including paul mccartney and kanye west... according to Wikipedia

Wikipedia, song "four five seconds"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FourFiveSeconds

and now you've become a collaborator on "left behind blues" because of this...

Well, I got plans. No need to be sorry. The Agora is vast - some don't know... good. Terrified fucks keep to themselves in their own small corner of the world - good. Let's just leave them alone... can't stand the screaming and shouting... must be in pain.

pain and fear

caused because they suspect the whole thing's a crock

.

according to the shrinks, though, when a belief is threatened, true believers become more fanatic in defense of their belief

maybe there's a survival reason for that behavior... if there are enough haywire theories floating around, some of them may turn out to be right, thus improving believers' cjamces pf ssuvival

primitive game theory, I guess

maybe "right" changes...

maybe beliefs that worked okay a few hundred or a few thousand years ago don't work so good anymore

Mr Lennon said something similar on Walls and Bridges. Didn't do him any good. Psychos still around, disguised as music fans.

Who knows? I don't "have the blues", you know... but that has never scared me. Or made me feel left out... should it? Is there anything you can do with a guitar that isn't "the blues"? Sometimes I wonder.

I mean - you gotta have the blues. That's real music. By real people. Real feelings. Pain. Suffering. Suppose I need more hardship, troubles, sorrows, terrible experiences - crap, maybe I'm scared, after all. Music lessons will NEVER take me there - ask anybody - so I'm toast. Totally.

rapture's comin' and that's good news

then the man'll swoop down out of a cloud
and swoop us all up and we'll be so proud but
say a little prayer for the folks

we leave behind


trapture's comin'i just cant wait
i'll dance irght through them pearly gates

but i'll shed a little tear for the folks

no more muslims no more jews
stand way back now while we light this fishy fuse
and the fish will swim the fish will fight
with all their fishy faith and might

and there's nothin' to do but grin
and hold on tight

*verse repeated without vocal*

*first verse reapeated with vocal*


.

any suggestion for word changes?

we have a responsibility, you know...

That was a good song - you want something added to it? Sounds fine to me - but just say word, and I'll think something up. If I'm lucky.

I have to redo that guitar loop, there's a couple bad notes and I'm thinking an alternating bass fingerpick might sound better...

the theory behind that big hole was to give peope a rest, time to think, so in keeping with that theory, whatever goes in that hole should be subdued, mild, etc...

but that theory might be completely haywire, so do your damnedest...

I sure will look for that - actually, this may be the best song of yours I've heard as of yet... the lyrics sounds like a lament... very serious work - can't have too much of it... I hope I can add to it. Would like that very much. I'll try. The music is just as good. Fine work. Damn it.

After having introduced fish in general, you may want to make reference to a school of mackerel / smackers.

I got to say, though, that most catholics seem to be relatively sane

the pope called the impending wa with Iraq "a defeat for humnanity", but then the priestly child abuse scandal cost him billons of dollars, and the popes since then have kept their yaps shut about our glorious "war on terror" and the "clash of civilizations"

Huh. What d'ya' know about that. We always said "Mackerel Smacker." Whichever. A Mackerel Smacker by any other name would smell as fishy.

This gtr solo I did sounds ok imo but might be too optimistic sounding for the song mood.

Well... he did make a general reference to "Fish".

But you are correct; he didn't specifically mention "Bass"... nor Flounder nor Gefilte Fish.

I'm sorry... this whole thing's starting to get a bit Lutefisk.

Where's your book on "How to Coin a Tune and Make it Seem Effortless"? I commented on your previous that I thought your voice seem to fade out at times, but now I feel it's just a part of your style and it totally works. Will this be expanded? the ending left me hanging.
