Lay Him In The Ground

She came a long one evening from the southern part of town.

She seemed quite unsettled as her eyes kept darting round.

Mascara flooded from her cheeks onto her wedding gown.

She came to lay him in the ground.


She fell down onto her knees and looked towards the sky.

And called toward the heavens oh why my god oh why.

Her grief was uncontrolable her fists beat on the ground
She swore to lay him in the ground.

'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
At times it seems impossible when youve been delt a hand.
Your grief can not be satisfied its like some twisted plan.
Begining of a journey that seems to know no bounds.

To day you lay him in the ground.
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

She found him in some tavern he was laying money down.
Then she produced a pistol from beneath her wedding gown.

It may seem impossible sorted and profound.
This day she'll lay him in the ground.

Good Song Ironbark Bob, I noticed a couple of mic pops. When I am having problems with that I sing across the mic instead of directly into it. Just point the mic straight up, old timer trick if you don't have a pop screen. Thanks for sharing Bob!

Hi Tommy.
Yes Im having a real hard time with mike pops.
I have made a screen using stockings but it still isnt working right as you noticed.

I will give your tip a try.
My mike is Uni Directional so I hope it works.

Or maybe I could use words without the letter "P" in them

Many thanks for the great advice.
Regards Rob

Rob,

Once again, you have a good one here! This one has more of a "folk" feel to me, makes for a nice change. Good luck finding all the words without the letter "p" in them!

Steve

Thanks Steve.
Im purposely pondering and peering proudly for pointed peerless "P" phrases.

Regards Rob

Lol!

Great lyrics, great music = Good stuff! Yes, I too think it borders on folk.

Val

You guys have me thinking.
Maybe I should do a rewrite in a RT folk style?
Thanks Tommyc and Vzudell

Rob,

Nice song from CooloolaCove - I like the sound of that - Cooloola - hmmm might be a song in there.

Here's an easy tip. Smile when you sing a P word and you won't pow or pop.

Pertaining previous post, "P" patrol - positively preposterous!

PSteve

Hey Sundance, I still thinking one up for cooloola cove.

Steve those perky "P's" seem to persue me

Puts me in mind of Johnny Cash or Jim Stafford. Lyrics are on point and well produced, sung tune. Thanks 4 sharing!



My Music

Thank you PG

Ive purchased a pretty pop screen.
Should solve my problems

Hi Rob, very nice tune. Really enjoyed listening. Great job.

Cheers

Nelson

Hi Airtcon.
Glad you enjoyed my song.

I have a couple more ready for vocals but I wont record them till my new pop screen arrives.

Will post a soon as they are done.
Regards to all Rob

Rob,
Thanks for sharing. I love a good story song.
Forumites,
You people are positively preposturous!
SD

Hey spacedog.
Thanks for dropping by.

A special thanks for leaving me some "P" words.

Hi Rob,

Wow! This is really good! You've got a fantastic voice and you've whipped up a terrific song here - lyrics, melody, arrangement, the whole package!

All the best,
Noel

regarding the dreaded "popped p"

a trick used by some radio speakers is to substitute B for P. The lips form both sounds the same way, but the P sound tends to be made with more air, hence the pop.

Buried in the context of a song, a B often comes across as a softer P. (YMMV)

Hey Noel.
Thanks for your encouraging words.

Oh, I got so involved talking about substituting B for P, I totally neglected to tell you how much I enjoyed this song. Clever theme, though a bit dark (not my normal preference)

But you pulled it off SO well! Kudos.

Hello again Pat.

Your comments are always welcome.
Glad you enjoyed the song.
Regards Rob

Thanks Noel for your encouraging words.
