As usual, haven't quite been able to get a handle on backing vocals yet, if any. Thanks for listening. BRING ME DOWN TO THE WATER (c)2018 David S. Becker Music All Rights Reserved https://soundcloud.com/gocartmoz/bring-me-down-to-the-water INTRO VERSE 1 Bring me down to the water Hold my head down 'til the water turns to black Wash away my transgressions Cleanse my soul and my stone cold heart Please erase the bad memories Lead the way to a brand new start Before my world is ripped apart VERSE 2 I was born in the badlands Trained by the belt and a cold steel fist I learned to take what I wanted Kill or be killed was my guiding creed There was no God there to save me Just a will and an urge to deceive And a hunger i had to feed CHORUS They don't offer absolution For a hardened man like me I've spent far too many years Inside a penitentiary I wish that I felt something I wish that I would care They can lead me to the water They can lead me to that chair INSTRUMENTAL VERSE 3 It was a searing day in August I stood lookout at the Black Hills Bank A man in blue came upon me "Hands in the air," he yelled and shots rang out I watched him bleed out on the sidewalk Now my freedom is in doubt "Go to hell," his widow shouts VERSE 4 It's certain hell is where I'm going I meet Old Sparky in just one week's time So bring me down to the water Immerse my body let me free my mind I'm not seeking absolution Just repentance for my crimes Bring me now there's not much time CHORUS OUTRO The Band: Style - _CROK125.STY: Classic Rock w/Held 12 String Key - BM BPM - 120 Bass - 366, Electric, Country Ev 065 Organ - 686, B3, Background Pop Ev120 Drums - Real Drums-NashvilleEven16^1=a Sidekick, HiHat, b Snare, Ride Guitar - 1002, 12-String Acoustic, Rhythm Classic RockA-B Ev16 065 I had a mandolin solo track and mando rhythm track which I rendered then lost.

From the moment you started singing I was a captive of the lyrics. Your storytelling and the way you presented it is fantastic. The groove and the instruments you chose to frame your words and drive your song were perfect. I found verse 1 really powerful. You vividly set the scene for what was to unfold. Quote: Bring me down to the water Hold my head down 'til the water turns to black Wash away my transgressions Cleanse my soul and my stone cold heart Please erase the bad memories Lead the way to a brand new start Before my world is ripped apart That X X X A X A A rhyme scheme truly is a brilliant choice for having the lyrics gallop forward with energy, power and momentum. To my ears, the pièce de ré·sis·tance was that last line. I did not anticipate it's rhyme and it left me hanging there, waiting for more. For me, you created the same effect with rhyme as what musicians do when they use what's called an interrupted cadence. From start to finish I was in the grip of your music and your singing. Wow! All the best, Noel _________________________ LINKS TO MY BIAB/RB SONGS audios on Soundcloud videos on VIMEO

I'm loving the lyrics here, and your delivery of them is perfectly sincere. The groove is fantastic too, and the production is nice and crisp. I wouldn't bat an eyelash hearing this on the radio. Great work and thanks for sharing _________________________ Cheers, Deryk

The mandolin break was unexpected, and very cool. Loved the stop at "...to the chair". Now my freedom is in doubt Perhaps a bit of an understatement? Very enjoyable! _________________________ -- David Cuny My virtual singer development blog Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
