Hi everyone,

I have posted a new song, called President's friend https://soundcloud.com/user-296497130/presidents-friend.
It is based on a true story. 'Some' of you must have heard from it.
I was busy working on some kind of bluessong, but then this idea entered my head.
I am curious what you think of it.

The style I worked with is called Fidget, but I changed most of the instruments (I think).
It's in the key of Am. The tempo is 100.
I used a baritonguitar for the solopart. I like to let it sounds bassy, because the subject in the song is not nice at all.
I faced some problems ending this song properly. The solution came by chance. I did some panning in that part to make it feel he is dragged to jail.

The lyrics:
The President's friend
(c)HWBerkhout, aug. 2019

I'm a man without conventions
That's who I am
I have huge intentions
Like it, or scram!

I am rich,
have much cash
And like to play
with young human flesh

I never faced a real defiance...
Nothing ever went wrong
I don't need me an alliance,
No one makes me wait too long

Yes, I'm a man with relations
And power even more
'Me Too' from all nations
don't dare to sew me, whatever for

I'm rich,
Have no compunction
But only to prefend
malfunction

It's now, I face a real defiance...
a crime research is coming on
I need me an alliance
I've waited much too long

-solo-

I was that man with expectations
And I was the presidents own friend
But now I hear speculations
my world soon will end

They talked about sex abuse
and I was involved
Distraction I had to use
Like my former case that's still unsolved

It's now, I face a real defiance...
That crime research is coming close
I need me an alliance
My friends all hide in the shadows

Yes, I face a real defiance...
I feel me like a lame, sitting duck
I need me an alliance
The White house tweeted
Hé, Good Luck!

Now I'm really annoyed
My face has turned to pale
Although I'm rich, I can't avoid
I end in jail!

Spoken:
Now, wait a minute...
You can't mean that...
I'm rich, have powerful friends...
No, let me out of here
I pay... I wanna get OUT!!!
