Huh?

Sneaking this one in as my last DIYFest entry since the banner is still up. I expected to finish this one quicker but I have some family staying with me and that brought me ThumbJam to play with. This is my first recording using it and I'm super stoked!  
3 uke tracks
1 bass
1 minty coin drum
1 vocal
1 pedal steel (thumbjam)
1 flute (thumbjam)
Fooled Me Twice
written & performed by Hook

Rogue baritone ukulele, Peavey bass, icebreaker mints, thumbjam
I evade, I contradict
Bob & swerve, subtle shifts
In futures face I recognize
The eyes but not the shape & size

I demean site unseen
Cast aside & deem unclean
On futures face lies a grin
Comforting yet clearly sin

      We are pulled, seldom pushed
       Enticed by spice
       Spirits & spells, waterless wells
       Deceived me not once but
       Fooled me twice

I pretend & I convince
No wall of fire, just a plain fence
Futures face is hidden by
Shadows cast from fears stacked high

       We are pulled, seldom pushed
       Enticed by spice
       Spirits & spells, waterless wells
       Deceived me not once but
       Fooled me twice

       We are found most often face down
        No prize, just price
        Spirits & spells, waterless wells
        Deceived me not once but
        Fooled me twice
      
       We are pulled, seldom pushed
       Enticed by spice
       Spirits & spells, waterless wells
       Deceived me not once but
       Fooled me twice

Interesting mix of instruments, and that slightly 'removed' vocal is perfect.

Nice chord progressions too.

Minty coin drum - that's intriguing.....

I like.

This is soooooo 60's, it hurts. I can see the paisley shirt, and the camera zooming in and out in black and white ...

Superb.

"Deceived me not once
but fooled me twice"

It's worth the price of admission just for that, but the whole lyric is great.

Really interesting tune, arrangement, everything.

Brilliant creation.

Excellent tune. The writing and recording and performance are all good. And even though I don't always pay proper attention to the lyric, here it's very good. I love that chorus all around.

Fully absorbing your Frank Sinatra-like swagger, bro! And the music is refreshing - Sounds like something that might have come from a 60's movie, it's awesome!

I dig it!
