"Instead" a Hook original

[Hook]

So I meant to tune my uke to an open C (GCEG) but I accidentally tuned it GCFG & came up with this progression before I realized. 2 different stereo drum tracks, one standard kit & one aux percussion  & the bass & muted trumpet ars thumbjam .  I used the mbr as a mic, all done on the MR8.
1 uke
1 drum (YDD60 stereo)
1 aux. percussion (YDD60 stereo)
2 bass tracks (TJ)- I tracked the verse in an F Mixolydian scale & the chorus in F Dorian
1 trumpet (TJ)  F Mixolydian Hexatonic
1 vocal

Instead

written & performed by Hook

I'm seeking out another way
To connect the end  to my point A
A road without twists and turns
Avoiding lessons I've already learned

    I'll steer clear
    I'll look ahead
    Should I control my future
    Or try to change the past
    Instead
  
I'm seeking possibilities
Of changing all that isn't me
I'll outwardly assimilate
Until it's me who controls all fate

      chorus

Jazz on Brother, Jazz on. Love those chords, and the verse melody is a killer - love it.
Lyrically, I simply don't understand how you write so many great lyrics in such a short space of time.
Cool tune my friend.

Nice and jazzy, fabulous orchestration as usual.

I love the jazz flavor. That trumpet really got me. I love the ending as well. Yeah, you've nailed a cool one.

So cool…I can't play any jazz, but I appreciate the good stuff when I hear it. The TJ trumpet and bass really hit it!
