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 FallA 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. INTRO-- Gm Dm Cm Gm V-- Gm Gm Dm Dm Cm Cm Gm Gm Gm Gm Dm Dm Eb Eb F F CH-- Bb Cm Cm Bb B Cm Eb F

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

Brilliant song. Brilliant message. Wonderful singing, writing, and wonderful images on the video. Great instrumental playing, both from yourself on the bass, and from Dave on the guitar. Another top-notch, thought provoking song from you. Bravo.

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!

(I look Just like that guy in the video when I play guitar) Haha! Thanks, floyd. Man, if you look like that playing guitar, you must put The Killer, Jerrry Lee, to shame playing piano. Marty, Another awesome piece of music! Love everything you are doing these days. Your voice has never been better and your writing is excellent. Superb mix as well! And of course Dave sounds tremendous also.  Bob Thanks, Bob. Much appreciated. Started practicing the vocals well before pushing record. Well, that's all new for me. hehe

Alan 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? Gonna fall? In the process I'd say. LOL Nice mix, vocal, lyrics etc., etc. Love that last line especially. 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. Bravo Marty for this song and the great images. Laurent 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 Brilliant song. Brilliant message. Wonderful singing, writing, and wonderful images on the video. Great instrumental playing, both from yourself on the bass, and from Dave on the guitar. Another top-notch, thought provoking song from you. Bravo. Thank you, James. Sadly thought-provoking songs are much easier to make than inspired change.

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! Thanks, Ron. Of course we all know those guys in the box are quite real. Wish I could play as well as the worst. hehe Marty, this is so true Great vocal and message Dave, well no matter what he plays it sounds great Super bass and mix Thanks so much, Mario. Great song, Marty, and loved the video!
Thanks for the invite, and thanks to those that mentioned my guitar work. Thanks, Dave. Thanks for accepting and making the song a 100 times better.

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  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! Janne

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.

Terrific listening! --Noel Thanks so much, Noel. Appreciate that, and happy you came along for the ride. OTT comment repeated: Another brilliant song, lyrically and musically. 5 Stars, 10 out of 10, 100%, top of the class.  Thanks again, Chay!! Great lyrics, simple but with a solid foundation in truth.

Great video that supports the story excellently, I really enjoyed those massive buildings and the flying guitarist! Janne 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.

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!
