Title: "Dependence" w/Lurker
Post by: Blooby on August 01, 2021, 02:05:00 PM

Fueled by fuzz pedals and Crown Royal, not necessarily in that order. I'm not sure if John's lyrics are indicative of a mid-life crisis. When I asked him, he hissed at me.


Dependence

You weren't part of the posh caste
You preferred the fringe
Flirting with the limits
Just to make the others cringe

No one came to save you
When you took your fall
You were too isolated
No one heard your call

Baby, don't hesitate
No need to negotiate
I like everything I see
Take what you want from me

Broken when I found you
At the bottom of a well
I wasn't doing much better
Crawling back from hell

Fighting clawing all the way
We dragged each other to the top
Maximizing love and hate
Knowing we could never stop

Now we're back with the living
Trying to decide
Are we still fit for each other
Or is it time to say goodbye

Baby, don't hesitate
No need to negotiate
I like everything I see
Take what you want from me

Now this is something different from you two and I like it! Blooby, your fuzz pedals and Crown Royal are working so well together! John's "in your face" vocal approach and cool lyric are just what this song ordered. The fuzzy wah solo is over the top good and the deep bass was bouncing my monitors off the desk...love it. Well done guys!

Just right in you face rock, that vocal is excellent but the guitar  solo rocks too.

Just read the lyrics without listening... big and deep stuff...survival and human relationships always seem like winning lyrical  combinations...and trying to continue relationships through times of personal growth, especially when one changes and the other doesn't is especially challenging...because some how many can relate...
Reaching very high here...will listen soon..

Everyone should listen to some hard rock at least once a day and this is a perfect example. Great rockin' track - straight down the middle, no messing about. Great collab guys.

Really like the clarity of that angsty & excellent vocal floating above the fuzz swamp. Nice angular riffs, and the bottom end is superb - real depth and wallop. And as for that solo - out of the park.

I think right out of the gate this is my favorite track of yours.... hell, Lurker sounds like Ozzie on this one...
this music is bloody heavy and yet maintains a great semblance of musicality which I love...
and that U2ish bass alone around 2:00 is really great....
I'll be listening to this alot..

and sure enough listening to the music I barely heard the lyrics...because for me the singing and lyrics are always caught into the music and I don't notice them much..

really like the drums alot too...sounds fantastic...

The lyric is really about Bruce and his cats. One of them sliced his finger before he played the guitar solo.

Rocks hard! From the feedback at the beginning my attention was grabbed. I can't help but think you guys would nail a Black Sabbath song, Lurker's voice has similar timbre to ozzy when singing hard like this (sounds glorious I might add). Another great heavy rocker.

Marvelous!
The fuzz guitar is distortion-city yet still manages to remain clear, and then the bass cuts in and squashes my head - and still it retains clarity!  Inspired.

The vocal reminds me of Ozzy at his best too.

A great song chaps.

Can't beat a bit of fuzz, and this has plenty! Loved the rough raucous sounds here, and John's vocal is really powerful. The upfront recording approach works really well. And that solo is really tasty, very nice indeed. Just loved this one, more like this please! Maybe you can both have a mid-life crisis........

I'm hearing a NIN influence. The vocals sounded a bit like Trent at times. And there can never be enough fuzz guitar playing ???? Good stuff!
