Waiting For The Reaper Man

I hope there is room for one more "Life is hard and then you die" blues song smile I don't usually like blues style of music, though I make blues songs that mock at blues. This song however had a title first and it needed a blues song around it. Maybe also the chilly autumn gave an important ingredient to the lyrics. And Band-in-a-box had the right instruments to finalize that idea.

I saved the video from BIAB, mixed the song in Adobe Audition and replaced the original audio track with that mix. I used keying to let my autumn footage shine through the BIAB background.

Lyrics:

I hate doctors telling bad news
ignorance is bliss
I rather die smile on my face
vegetables I'll never miss.

Shiftless, cannot do it by myself
headstrong, cannot beg for any help
the conclusion plan I'll keep on waiting
for the reaper man.

I hate pushing selling my soul
like a prostitute
CVs and dating profiles
when I'm not handsome or cute.

[Chorus]

I hate being stray in this life
short of GPS
Misfit in callous places
crop of weed was not success.

[Chorus]

Janne, what an interesting song. Some nice twists, good use of the minor keys, and the phrasing was quite unique.

Another great addition was the backing on the video, replacing white with the vision.

Harmonies and overdubbing was quite well done

Good job

As Scott said - cool! Not at all what I expected, and a good listen.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Thanks for a very analytic comment smile I'm glad to hear you found so many interesting details in the song smile

Thanks David S for commenting, unfortunately I have no idea how to associate my blues song to Pink Floyd, but sounds like it belongs to good company wink

Scott C & David C: Thanks for commenting and "cooling" my song smile

This is really super. Wow what a great chord progression! You vocals were super also as were the backing tracks.

I really don't know what genre one would put this in but who cares!

This is a keeper!


Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.
