Scrolling Zombies

Caveat: Weird write and the occasional overly abstract line.
So there smile

When not biking or hiking we like to walk around the beautiful campus of our local university and that inspired this write. The number of tracks exceeded our mix pay grade level (12) and the mastering was a challenge due to how different the intro/verse 1 are from the remainder of the tune. Having blathered all that thanks for your time if you choose to listen and comments are welcome. And we thank Peter for the 5 acoustic and electric tracks and PG Music for the session guys. Lyrics are below the tech stuff.

Intro

V1:

relaxing in the park surrounded by roses

blue birds are singing, the leaves are swaying

I let my worries and tension slide away

enchanted by blue skies with clouds slowly dancing

Rest

Refrain:

oh no! here come the scrolling zombies 

tangled in the tech gods’ web

V2
:
led by a phone like a carrot on a stick

no time to waste there’s always another app

earbuds have replaced mother nature’s call

stepping in line tap tap tap

Solo

Bridge:

Alger's Rhythm Kings lay down the beat 

for Zombies who’ve passed the point of retreat

V3
:
driven by ones, zeros and pixels

buried deep in their reels and likes

no light no life in their staring eyes

up down left right go the finger swipes

Refrain

Outro solo
