Believe it or not, but here is a guitar-poppy-song in major. Hah, who'd have thought? The first solo is done with a slide on electric guitar, you don't wanna know what I did to the poor thing. The second solo is me whistling into the mic with enough overdrive on it to make it to Omega 21B, dock 12 with afterburner applied all the way through. Don't miss it folks!

State of Mind
My counselor, she agrees
with everything I say
She smiles at me` and jots some notes
Then hand me more drugs
She hands me more drugs
Again
To keep out the noise
With every day that passes by
I'm feeling like an octopus
Just waiting for the ships to come
To drag 'em down
To drag them down with me
Into the darkness
With me
Will you help me stand on my own
When I crumble and fall
Will you help me
Be everything
I can't be
I can't be
I can't be on my own
No more
That was too funny.
I was laughing out loud at the last part.
Sorry, Arjen, but that ending was just real cheesy.
It sounded like you were slurping through a straw from an almost empty glass
(trying to get the last bit of that song?)
I really liked it. The lyrics are great. Melody is pretty.
Nice guitar work. Enjoyed the ride to Omega 21B.
Well done and if it was your intent to make the last part cheesy, well done.
(and if it wasn't, Oops)
Whistling on overdrive. How do you think of those things?
It's the rock that gives the stream its music . . . and the stream that gives the rock its roll.
thanks man. :D If you mean the whistling solo as the end, then yeah, it's intentional. The first solo is already pretty blunt but the second one is so way over the top and, well, corny that it turns a potentially whiny song into something a lot more self-mocking and sarcastic. Or atleast I hope.
Whew!
I thought you might throw a grenade at me.
Or write another song with a bassoon as the lead . . .
It's the rock that gives the stream its music . . . and the stream that gives the rock its roll.
