Take your time
Soundcloud

A little safety song I wrote and did my best to sing.
Band in a Box was used to do the chord progression and instruments with two live guitars in the mix.


Thanks for listening


When you are in doubt
Dont do the round about
Dont be a fool
Follow the life saving rule
It sure is cool

For your sake and mine
Take some extra time
Do your risk assessment
One mooooore time

Before you start a drive
Inspect and check your ride
Check up n buckle up
Follow the life saving rule
It sure is cool

For your sake and mine
Take some extra time
Do your risk assessment
One mooooore time

When working at height
Are you doing it right
Dont behave like a fool
Secure that at risk tool
It sure is cool

For your sake and mine
Take some extra time
Do your risk assessment
One mooooore time

Verse interlude

For your sake and mine
Take some extra time
Do your risk assessment
One mooooore time

Dont be a sad statistic
Keep it simple and basic
The life saving rules
Are made for me and you

For your sake and mine
Take some extra time
Do your risk assessment
One mooooore time

Nice work on this! I actually thought your vocals went well with these backing tracks. It almost a rustic feel to it, kind of like you'd fine in the vocal delivery you'd find in a band like Joy Division or Bauhaus. Not sure if that's what you're going for but it fits well in my opinion. Some really good progressions here and the groove is awesome too.

Well done - thanks for sharing smile


Cheers,

I have to say I don't think I have ever heard a "safety song" before. It is musically well done....kind of a dark 80's feel! Vocal and arrangement are very good! Enjoyed, and I will drive carefully! Take care. Greg

Cool idea for a song and, I think, a new use for BIAB--safety songs. I like the tracks you used for this: They add interest but don't overpower the melody.

Thank You Scott

After I upgraded to the 2019 BIAB, the opportunity horizon has moved beyond my limited vision and needs more exploring. I will be posting another song soon. Different style and feel.
