I've tended towards the dark side of rock here recently..... here's another tune fresh from the DAW.

It's rock and it's not supposed to make sense. (recently quoted by David Snyder) I'll go with that description. If however, you can make sense of it, well, join me for a few beers and we'll solve the problems of the world together.

So, here's the band.....and some details on the mix.

Drums are rock southern even 8
Bass is 1759 Electric Pop even
B3 is 689 Background pop

There's 3 vox tracks with low doubling split R/L and lead up the center.... mild verb and slap back on the lead.... and just a touch of fixing on the lead. Doubles are raw.


GUITARS: Me. What we have in there is one track heavy mostly whole note chords.... One track picked phased mildly cleaner that's about 30% opposite the heavy chords.... and then there's a pair of lead tracks spread varies on them depending what's going on.... tapping is close to center.

Pick Your Poison


Lyrics:



I don't care what you say or what you try to do
Are you simply acting paranoid or are they really after you?
Every day's a new day nothing ever seems to change
Do the voices in your head make you scream in pain?

Standing in the spotlight, you forgot the words to say
Realize this is real life and not some broadway play
White or black, left or right, the choice is up to you
Pick a side, make a stand you know what you have to do

Pick your poison, what do you have to lose?
Pick your poison, you're gonna have to choose
Everyone is pointing at you you're the one they blame
The red pill or the blue one you think it's just a game.
Don't you know the devil's in the details.... pick your poison

solo

You can run and hide or stand and fight. or crawl into a hole
Dealing from the bottom deck did the devil buy your soul
The truth is hard to come by when lies are all around
When will you realize you're standing on sinking ground
