Title: "Fear Blind" a Hook original
Post by: Hook on September 14, 2019, 05:49:35 AM
I had planned on this being my 9000th post but I just posted 2 birthday messages without thinking...DooH.
Did this one over the last few days. It started at my community pool while my kids swam I wrote and recorded the uke, drums (garageband) and the bowed bass(thumbJam). I've been adding here and there ever since.
1 rhythm uke(stereo)
1 drums-GB(stereo)
2 bowed bass
1st lead uke/distorted
2nd lead uke/chourusy(stereo)
1 verse vocal
1 chorus vocal(stereo)
2 bridge vocals (both stereo)
1 harmony vocal (stereo)
Fear Blind
written & performed by Hook
I don't know just what to do in this situation
and I'm not sure if my strength has ever been intuition
but I have to make a decision

Do I act out of heart or mind
Do I risk it all or end up fear blind

I feel like the slightest misstep could set off a landmine
And there's no map to guide me through this time
And it's all built on a fault line

Do I act out of heart or mind
do I risk it all or end up fear blind
do I let you continue on with this Foolish Pride
Do I risk it all or end up fear blind

Fear blind
is wasting my time
I'm hanging on the line
and I can't find
peace of mind

Congrats on hitting 9k!

The distorted uke tone is unique and sounds so good! Some nice lead riffs...captivating!

So hard to categorise your music Hook! Very hard. But the great thing is it is so unlike anything else I can think of and all done with 100% heart/soul and creativity. An interesting and great tune.
