Scrolling Zombies Caveat: Weird write and the occasional overly abstract line. So there  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. Janice: vocals, arrangement, progression and mix Peter: acoustic/electric guitar tracks, tag effect and mix counsel Bud: lyric, arrangement, mix, mastering and cover art (ole skool 10 year old editor) Vocal: Rhodes NT1 > Scarlett Interface > Logic Pro > Nectar Drums: RealDrumsBluesRock > Waves CLA Drums (multiple fill comping and building from hits) From above kit: Snare: Waves Magma BBT > Ozone Impact > Neutron > Logic ChromaVerb Cymbal: Logic ChromaVerb Kick: Waves CLA Drums Bass: RealTrack 564 Electric, Blues Monday > Logic EQ > RX 8 De-click > Logic ChromaGlow Rhythm Guitar: RealTrack 1924 Electric TexasBluesRockSlow DI > Logic Pro Pawn Shop Distort Amp Sim Piano: MIDI SuperTrack 2845 Rhythm BluesSlowSwing > Logic Vintage Upright > Waves CLA Unplugged Mastering: Ozone EQ > Ozone Imager > Ozone Limiter > Izotope Tonal Balance 2 > Logic Loudness Meter 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

What an optimistic view of the future! (joking, of course!*)
Wonderful track, great idea for the lyric, and produced so well--and that "scary" guitar solo stretch and final moan--perfect.
Excellent performances, and top=notch use of BIAB. Loved it!

Hi, J&B. Hehehe. Maybe those zombies are listening to your Soundcloud page? That would explain why they're so entranced.  Spooky fun, even if it's still summertime! The mix sounds good, and the leads (vocal and guitar) sound great as usual. Love the silliness at the end.

Janice, Bud & Peter,
This is one of the coolest things that I have ever heard on the forum. I love the concept, arrangement, awesome mix and otherworldly (pun intended) vocal by Janice. The falsetto, bends, slides; it's all there - a fun and creative delivery.
The band and mix is rich, layered and saturated. Love it! Peter shines again with his guitar!
A new favorite for me! So well done by all!
Bob

*Soon as they get serious about family life, they'll get straightened out quick! Thank you big time. We could not have hoped for more. Bud was a bit apprehensive about the production and this first review meant a lot. Hugely appreciated! J&B PS Hopefully they’ll get straightened out but we’ve seen some adults following their screen too.

Brilliant song and them! A line form one of my written songs I wish I could record right now is "But now I'm gone you're all alone, living in your mobile phone".  Love those solos too.
Some favourite Waoist Adages:
#1: Play on the Way.
#13: Ask not for whom the flower blooms, it blooms for you.
#58: Bring consciousness to it.
#63: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made.
#92: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.

This really resonated with me. I didn't want to turn into a geezer griping about the youth of today, but I've no choice. Their music stinks, their phonelives stink, it drives me nuts. "Alger's Rhythm Kings" deserves a special award IMHO. Great work all the way around with this one, hats off to the entire team!

Janice, Bud & Peter, What an outstanding original concept.
I really liked Peter's guitar (especially at the ending) and Janice's vocal (loved those scary oohs)
Really great arrangement and mix
The lyrics are so true, I have seen some close calls and accidents with kids paying more attention to their phones than their surroundings.
Loved it!

🧟 🧟♀️ 🧟♂️
First off, "Scrolling Zombies" is a stroke of genius! It's like a Gen-Z "Thriller," but instead of werewolves, we're facing the anxiety of endless feeds.
Janice, . Your vocals are a pure comedic gold! That "tap tap tap" could win awards for "Most Relatable Sound Effect of the 21st Century." And the "Ooo's" drip with enough playful irony to make Oscar Wilde blush. Your vocal performance is a masterclass in sardonic delivery! 🎤 👩 𝐒𝐭✰𝐫𝐠𝐢𝐫𝐥
Bud, my friend, your production is tighter than a zombie's grip on a smartphone. 📱 Your lyrics are sharper than a cracked phone screen. "Earbuds have replaced mother nature's call" should be printed on protest signs, hung in art galleries, or, at the very least, tweeted ironically from an iPhone. It's a succinct and devastating diagnosis of our tech-addled times. 👋
Now, about those guitar solos,... Look, I'm torn. Peter... they're fantastic! Like a caffeinated guitar hero trying to wake up the comatose masses. But, selfishly, I was SO engrossed in Janice's lyrical takedown that I secretly wished for one more verse! It's like choosing between a winning lottery ticket and a lifetime supply of pizza. (◔_◔)🎸🍕
In short, this song is a masterpiece! It's the kind of tune that makes you laugh, cry (mostly from realizing it's true), and then immediately hide your phone in a drawer before joining a Luddite commune. Seriously, you guys are a songwriting dream team, and I salute your collective brilliance... before I get sucked back into the infinite scroll. 📜
My ears and my ever-shortening attention span thank you. 💯💥 👋👌👍

Extraordinary lyrics, and I say Bud deserves much higher pay cuyz he sure made the grade and raised the bar with this one. Janice, you are scary. This one should be piped into every campus in the country.

Brilliant — from conception to execution; from beginning to infinity (and beyond).
Amazing guitar shreds and Janice's vocals were the perfect vehicle for those zany yet insightful lyrics.

These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!
Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.
Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.
Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!
And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library. You'll get new country-rhythm guitar styles from PG Music favorites Johnny Hiland and Brent Mason, along with modern-pop grooves that capture today’s radio-ready sound! There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
