Hello Folks,
the vocals are pre comping & tuning.
BIAB supplied the drums, RealDrums in style:RockHard^03-a:Open Hat, Snare, b:Ride, Snare
(may need some variety in the B sections)
Written & structured in BIAB and tracked with the DAW plug in telling where n when to do things.
Bass is a Hofner knock off through a BDI21
Guitar is a Squire Bullet Mustang through a Marshall Superbass with some fuzz used with the "lead".
Tracked n mixed in Reaper as usual...everything is as usual I suppose.

Here's a slightly tidier version - I've used the 1st vocal to reduce the confusion.
I've also upped the bass drum definition a bit.
Otherwise the same I suppose BUT less of a mud fight and the melody is a little clearer.

New vocals - not comped yet.

Lyric:
INTRO
verse 1
6 (I) don't know what to do when
4 they ask why I
5 still do these things
5 still say these things?
5 Am I too old now?

chorus 1
7 The best that I can do is
4 The more I know
4 The more I show
6 That more or less
3 No more can I
4 Keep sitting still
3 (I) have to know
3 (I) have to grow
3 (I) have to sow

verse 2
6 (I) don't know what to do when
4 they ask why I
5 want to be heard
5 still say the word?
5 Am I too old now?

chorus 2
7 The best that I can do is
4 The more I speak
4 The more I tweak
6 That more or less
3 The more I throw
4 I can't sit still
3 The overflow
3 To foreshadow
3 Both friend and foe

verse 3
6 (I) don't know what to do when
4 they ask why I
5 still make a noise
5 still play these toys?
5 Am I too old now?
4 Should I stop?

solo

chorus 4
7 The best that I can do is
4 The more I see
4 Hyperbole
6 That more or less
3 The more I go
4 Not standing still
3 (I) have to taste
3 (I) will not waste
3 (I) am in haste


chorus 5
7 The best that I can do is
4 The more I fight
4 Against the night
6 That more or less
3 No more is best
4 Not lying still
3 Before I die
3 And putrefy
3 It's clear that I Won't


ANY and all comments, suggestions, castigation and passive aggressive expositions welcome and wanted.
