"Bidding War" a Hook original for WarFest

[Hook]

Wrote these lyrics this afternoon & the music just a few hours ago while waiting for Pan in a rehearsal. All done in my car and once I had the progression worked out I closed the windows to get a relatively clean recording but damn it got hot. I think my brain boiled a little LITLR, done on the 008.

Bidding War

written & performed by Hook

 

Today at 9:35 PM  


Look ahead
I always look ahead
and try with all my might
not to turn to far left or right
Straight ahead
straight for tomorrow
The past has grown but it's behind
And I need to focus on the straight-line

I wonder if they'll ever want a piece of me
I don't see no line
Nobody's beaten down my door
There ain't no bidding war

Get ahead
what do you do to get ahead
It's all about who you know
And no offense to those I know but I don't know anyone

Chorus

I noticed just the other day
My blue hair starting to grey
How quickly youth slips away
Am I too late
Do I have an expiration date

Stay ahead
so hard to stay ahead
To stay current in more than just your mind
To make sure that others connect to your line

Chorus

[Redler]

Enjoyable hookastic stuff, again! Your car has a real good acoustic! Well done!

[Geir]

Enjoyable hookastic stuff, again! Your car has a real good acoustic! Well done!

Yep !! Hooky as ever !

You're a hit-machine !

[Tangled Wires]

This is a blinder, love the chord progressions throughout and that silky smooth vocal floating effortlessly over the top.

I could hear this working equally as well as a big production too.

You sure you don't drive a recording studio that has been converted into a car?

[Nelson]

Wow, what a sound, my friend.
Your Uke play is super smooth, as are your vocals and BTW...... the studio ROCKs.   

[Groundy]

[Jarle]
