Just Putting It Out There

Blurb.....

Hello all BIA-Boxers

This song is about the insane amount of material that we're bombarded with in the electronic media. Not only that, but the sometimes absurd subject matter, narrative and quality that invades our lives these days, perhaps that's where the real war is!! So the title has this duality about it, in that some people are just mindlessly just churning out drivel to keep us placated (just putting it out there), whilst the singer is also just putting it out there.

I had intended making it with more of a pushed blues feel, but I couldn't find an acceptable style base BIAB version...a good reason to upgrade to one of the bigger packages. I've settled for the Fast Country Blues Swing style and it has come up okay considering I'm not a huge fan of country...and ultimately it doesnt't feel Country to me. So in my last song, the feedback I was getting was that the vocals weren't in the same room as the rest of the band. So I think I've addressed this, by having only one main vocal track....(quite brave of me!!) and reducing the amount of stereo effect, so unfortunately you've got my singing hitting you right between the eyes! To my ears, whilst the mix seems to sit well it seems a little bit heavy, dull and or bassy. If I listen to the mix without the vocals it all seems good, only upon adding the vocal does it seem to become heavy. I'd be glad to receive any thoughts if anyone feels the same or if it seems okay to you. I was really impressed with RealTracks style 421, it really adds some extra rhythm dynamics to the song. BEGG_B Style did have it's own acoustic rhythm guitar, but I substituted my own. I also did the solo, this is improvised around Triads on the e,B and G strings. A really simple 3 chord song, sometimes simple is best. So, I've only uploaded the audio to Soundcloud for now as the Youtube video is a bit naff. I struggling for enthusiam for videos, they take too long and they do distract ones attention from the audio.

Anyways, hope everyone's having a great weekend.

JUST PUTTING IT OUT THERE

INTRO

VERSE 1
They’re firing at UFOs over Yemen. ( Don’t think so.)
Someone's sending messages into space (Ain't nothin' new)
It’s the most terrifying time to be alive…mmm..
Putting it out there. Just putting it out there.
I’m put…ting it out there.

VERSE 2
Duelling on the Whitehouse lawn at dawn. ( on Live feed.)
Havoc on the senate floor, outlawing law. ( In God we trust )
“Men and Women are not the same”, evil speaks, it feels no shame…mmm..
Putting it out there. Just putting it out there.
I’m put…ting it out there.

CHORUS
…..just putting it out there, why should I care.
…..just putting it out there, the latest nightmare.

SOLO over VERSE

VERSE 3
Could you love someone so much your heart did break? ( Yeah, me too.)
Did you ever know a narcissist you couldn’t resist? ( Had no time for you.)
Did they play you for a fool and treat you cruel? …mmm..
Putting it out there. Just putting it out there.
I’m put…ting it out there.

CHORUS
…..just putting it out there, why should I care.
…..just putting it out there, the latest nightmare.

OUTRO
