Started this one last night and just finished it. It's a mixed meter tune in 5/4 with a 6/8 bridge, kinda quirky I guess. I used thumbjam for the stand up bass and the flute.

"It Won't Be Simple"
written & performed by Hook
It's easy to know the right thing to do
To map it out logically so it makes sense to you
But to find the X that you drew

         It won't be simple
         If you make it real hard
         There's no need to shuffle
         If you only have one card

It's easy to know the right choice to make
Wrap your day up in a bow & end it with a piece of cake
But don't blink because there's too much at stake

          Chorus

     My oh my
     How on earth am I
     Supposed to wear every hat
     & still know where I'm at
     On this stupid map

  No it won't be simple

Because the Hook brings you back
I ain't tellin' you no lie
The hook brings you back
On that you can rely

Hell yeah... I was having a hard time picking up the 6/8 timing part.... got it now... This is sweet madness buddy... I love it!!! That pencil box sounds pretty freakin kewl... I might have to pull out another track where I beat on misc. objects around the house... Bottles, cans, the dog...the cat...the wife..  everyday things!!!
