I put this in the wrong forum....I'm an idiot.

Well....

It's been a while but I've just finished up this one for now.
I've been six weeks on it so I need a break and thought I'd throw this into the forum and see how the mix translates on your system.....even if you think the song sucks. smile
My recording space is small so I only have my Tascam S1010m's near fields....Rockit 8's are in storage.

Subject?....my brief take on no such thing as a perfect world.
Drums - BIAB
Lead Guitar - BIAB....Mark Knopfler style
Congas - Me on Roland MBD-1
Bass - Me on MBD-1
Rhythm guitar - ME on acoustic
Vocals/harmonies - Me (sorry :))

I'm always subconscious about my vocals.....but, we work with what we have (or have not).
I kept it instrumentally lean intentionally....not my normal approach, I might add.
It has this swampy, haunting sort of rhythm to it.
It's too early to say I'm actually done with it.
I always revisit trying to make the vocal performance better.

To any that gave a listen....I thank you and hope it was worthy of your time.
I know....."one best have the skin of a snow tire" if one puts their efforts out for the world to scrutinize".
I'm trying to recall the forum member turkey that always says that. smile

Carry on....

"You're Looking For A World"

Verse 1
Looking for a world without locks or keys.
Looking for a world without cops or thieves.
Realize it’s just a bright illusion.
Verse 2
Looking for a world, no stress and no strain.
You want to know pleasure, you need to feel pain.
Desperate to believe Utopian delusions.
Chorus (music only)
Verse 3
A prisoner needs his bible, the cripple needs his cane.
You’re living in a dream, through a fog in a maze.
Slaved to a fantasy and just can’t escape it.
Lead (verse music & chorus music)
Verse 4
If you're living in the jungle, learn to run and where to hide.
Life is always a struggle to survive or you die.
It’s bitter...it's sweet, accept and embrace it.
Chorus (music only)
Vamp to end
