It's Gonna Fall on Soundcloud
It's Gonna Fall on YouTube


A song suggesting nothing lasts forever, especially without care. 2 songs ago it was about lies, the last one was about truth, this one I suppose is about consequences.

Style is _BEWITCH.STY (Bewitch Baritone Gtr Bluesy Soul)

RealTracks in style: 1410:Piano, SynthLayer, Rhythm Soul70sA-B Ev16 100
RealTracks in style: 1404:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm Soul70sWarmA-B Ev16 100
RealTracks in style: 3164:Guitar, Baritone Electric, Rhythm BluesyPopSteady8thsCleanBrent Ev 100
RealTracks in song: 3664:Dulcimer, Rhythm Folk8ths Ev 100
RealTracks in song: 3225:Guitar, 12-String Acoustic, Rhythm Campfire128 Sw 060
RealDrums in style:BluesRockFunky16ths^1-a:Snare, HiHat , b:Busy Snare, HiHat was used in the redesign in EZDDrummer.
Dave Bell (Blue Attitude) played guitar. I played bass and sang.

You gotta love AI. Check out the images in the solo. Every image except the last has an impossible pose for the human guitarist.

It's Gonna Fall

A structure built on sand cannot withstand the tests of time.
It needs a solid base of strong support.
Truth in what we say is the way to bolster growth
so the world we build will not fall short.

(Or... Then) this house of cards is gonna fall. History says it's true.
The daunting task to rebuild it all falls to me & you.

They broadcast breaking news. But by the time it reaches me
there is so much added on and taken out.
There may be grains of truth mixed within agendas' plans,
but the slant we hear can only breed doubt.

If we want to make our stay on Earth, falsehoods must be shamed.
You cannot throw in your two cents worth and then expect some change.

Hi Marty,

Your music always has a great foundation, both musically lyrically. Your lyrics always cause me to pause sand think a little more closely.

I listened on SC and then watched the video. What a great video!!! And your lyric rings true.

Your vocal is clear and spot on. Dave may need to purchase some ointment to soothe the blisters on his fingers after that great solo.

This is some really terrific music!

Best to both of you,

Alan

Evocative and cool. Super performances by the humans, and the guys from the box sound really nice too. Excellent write, spot on execution. Great job!

Haha! Thanks, floyd. Man, if you look like that playing guitar, you must put The Killer, Jerrry Lee, to shame playing piano.

Thanks, Alan. "cause me to pause sand think" I'd love to hear your thoughts on this and many other subjects --what do you think?

Thanks, Beth. You're right, I should write one called It's Falling cuz I won't likely be around for the rebuild. Thanks for noticing the last line. It's a parphrase from what I often say (Well, when I give my two cents, I expect some change), and this new way fits this song better.

Thank you, Laurent. You know how weird it is working with that AI. It's all about the prompt, and I assure you I didn't ask it to give us a guitarist with wonky arms. hehe

Thank you, James. Sadly thought-provoking songs are much easier to make than inspired change.

Great lyrics, simple but with a solid foundation in truth. A message straight from the legendary Marty the Old Master's guide book to better world smile
Great band, that baritone guitar supports your great bass playing, Dave isn't gonna fall from those heights, pleasant vocals.
Great video that supports the story excellently, I really enjoyed those massive buildings and the flying guitarist!

I avoided this for a few days because the title filled me with awe...the fear sort.
The lyrics aren't as bleak as my fever dream suggested..ominous but not despairing.
Great band built on the rock of your bass and with architectural essentials by Dave.
Cautionary tale, so long as the dogs does the wagging.
Excellent.


Cheers

Ha. Guide to a better world. I'm too cynical to believe there would be any follows. The truth scares too many.
Yes, I'm glad BiaB has those baritone guitars --so helpful so often.

Haha, Ray. Did you lose balance just thinking of it? Yep, even being weighed down by truthful cynacism, I stll fancy happy endings. I see what ya did there with the dog and the tale. hehe

This third installment is every bit as good as part one and part two. 😊

You’ve been doing a lot of serious thinking lately. We love this line:
“If we want to make our stay on Earth, falsehoods must be shamed.”

You and Dave are hittin’ the note big time and the BiaB guys fit right in.

Excellent mix and supportive video also.

Enjoyed it!
