"Chinese Take Out" a Bruno & Hook original-FL MET 2015

[Hook]

2nd tune of our 1st night of FL MET 2015. I had to show up with something new last night. Had this song kinda worked out and Bruno helped me connect the dots into a finished tune. It's so cool to be writing and playing in the same room with my brother from a different mother! Also recorded LITLR, dp008 on the coffee table, 2 on board mics, a very cool Brit with a guitar and a much less cool American with a uke.
Met On!

Chinese Take Out

music by Bruno & Hook  Lyrics by Hook
performed by Bruno & Hook

Just the other day
a fortune cookie showed me the way
but my wife threw it away
and I am sad
It's spoke an honest truth
one I felt needed no proof.
But I'm a bit of a doof
and I have forgotten what it said

Somewhere in the deep
recesses of my mind
lies this ancient wisdom
that was wrapped In dough & fried
And I hope that I can access
those words at some point in time
But for now it's Chinese take out
all the time

There was energy released
as I cracked it's crispy shell
I consumed its essence
as I read from Confucius's ink well
His message was relayed
and I received it very well
But I casually forgot it
now I fear i'll spiral into Hell

Chorus

My belly hurts
and my bank account is empty
I'm pretty sure I've had my fill of
msg.
It's  effecting me

Brilliant,the playing on this is fantastic and the recording is excellent.
I love that acoustic run during the vocal break and that uke is tight.
There's a magic happening there already and you can feel the energy and happiness in the tone of hooks voice
And the vibe of the playing.
That's really some fine playing on that acoustic Bruno and as always it amazes me how hook rattles the lyrics out like a machine gun and never gets tounge twisted .
Two songcrafters doing what they love and letting us in on the trip.
This my friends is what the true spirit of songcrafters is about
ROCK ON

Voice is sounding great Hook, been a while since I've heard it and it better than ever I think. Love the guitar work, top notch stuff.

[Redler]
