Cover Songs / Re: You are My Sunshine

This is always a dark song! It was written by an American politician, as I recall.

The vocal performance is someone on the verge of imploding or exploding. It's hard to say which. The swirly, fuzzy, phased guitar takes this dark mood to an even darker place: This heartbroken chump might do something dangerous!

I'm getting Devoto vibes here.

Very off-kilter. That guitar tone is unnerving. Excellent!

Original Songs / The Factory

Last post by thetworegs - May 06, 2024, 11:05:47 AM

you have to imagine yourself as a young eighteen year old Reg with a 100 percent mortgage (You wouldn't get one of those now) and a loan for his Triumph Bonneville (I loved that bike) working at the brick company making bricks working on a belt setting 15000 bricks a day two at a time ready for the kiln and he's not happy he wants out he feels old before his time ..he is the bad machine ..but how...how can he get out

Well I fell at the first hurdle my head it hit the floor
I'm not really sure I'm ready
I can take any more
Each day is a mess
everything turns black
I've got that feeling in my heart it is going to crack
Each day seems the same and they turn pretty slow
I can't take another day in this factory
I'm gonna blow
I'm gonna blow

Ive got to escape
I don't know how
But I've got to find a way out this place I got to find it now  I got to gonow

Life is a scream exploding in my mind
I've started turning nasty
I am unkind
I'm viscious with my tounge
I'm viscious with my fists
I'm drinking way too much 
I feel like shit
I've got to get away
I don't know how
I got to get away from this place
I'm ready right now

Break

I'd been a fool for way too long
education I saw as a waste of time
I was too busy being cool to give it any time
I couldn't see or I wasn't told
it was a ticket to the big time
So now here I am with presses
banging out my time
Pushing out there produce and me into the ground
Ive gotta get out of this place
I've gotta get now
I I gotta escape
But I don't know how
I've gotta find a way before it pushes me to the ground
I got to go
I got to go

The bass tone and playing is excellent Trevor. It seems the new Tonex pedal has inspired you in a good way. Cool lyrics and vocal...well done!

"I got the two chord blues...oops three chord blues", lol. I hope that was meant to be funny because I found the third chord slip hilarious. If not I apologize...I'm still smiling. Well done Hilary!

Last post by Hilary - May 06, 2024, 05:17:59 AM

Hi everyone - I'm still listening pretty much every day but not really writing songs atm - although writing poetry and painting.

This is a little bit of nonsense just to let you know I'm still here!

The Two Chord Blues

Finally a Fest I can participate in
A chord song is what I've been waiting for

The two chord blues
oh you know it

I've got the two chord blues
