Hi everyone,

I made a song about a survivor of a planecrash and called it Bad Luck.
The story is more or less a metaphor for the challenges some of us face in real live. Especially where you feel you're on your own to face them. But instead of letting the main character die, I gave it an open end grin . He can die or wake up from a nightmare...

The style I used is Ordeal, tempo 60, key Em.
I added two fiddles, 5-string and Celtic (for rhythm and solo-purposes) and a synth. PopBelieve.
And in the Daw I gave the soft drums more body

The lyrics

Bad Luck
I'm in the middle of an ocean
Drifting in a leaking dinghy
The only thing I can recall
our plane plunged in the sea

I am the sole survivor
rowing maybe towards land
With no food or drinking water
and no signals I can send

It's getting darker by the hour
Than I will only see the moon
The waves are getting higher
Land must be reached soon

I'm rowing on the ocean
No idea where to go
This is called Bad Luck
as far as I know

Oh I see, it's not my day
But you're with me,
You see me rowing on
And I'm smiling

but you don't know in my heart
I'm so afraid as can be
Oh, I start weeping
but you must not see

I'm rowing on an ocean
and only a moon to shine
Sharks now pay me more attention
They're getting closer all the time

And I'm the sole survivor
No idea where to go
This is called Bad Luck
as far as I know

Refrein
Solo
Refrein
+
Oh, than woke up that morning
and saw you're there near me,
You watched me sweating
But you're smiling to me
So no bad luck at all
I close my arms around you
