Autobiographical Abomination

written & performed by Hook

Em. F#m. G. A.
I hit the bottom and didn't bounce
& the Lion I landed next to was ready to pounce
My lucks been lost
Everything has a cost
& I've paid plenty more than my share

D. G. A. F#m. Bm. G. Em. A
There is a written record
A document of sorts
A jukebox of memories
moments and Melodies
There is a written record
Audio enhanced
Accented with syncopation
An autobiographical abomination

Em. F#m. G. A.
I've gone without eating but it wasn't for strike
I'll place my own head upon your sharpened spike
My tolerance is high
But there will be suffering after I die
Leaving behind so many who care

I've deprived myself of sleep and am starting to see
Hallucinations, figments of false memories
My intuitions on the fritz
I'm distracted with frequent fits
I wonder if I'm even here

[StephenM]

geez this is fantastic Eric

love your vocals coming from every direction in the headphones.... the swirling Uke... the pulsing bass
def fits the festival theme...
and as great as the music is the lyrics are an even bigger winner!

[AndyR]

Whoa! Freaky! Both sound-wise and lyrically.

I'm listening in headphones - with a slight sinus issue at the moment, so hearing a bit wibbly - and I'm THOROUGHLY disoriented after listening to this!

Cool stuff.

[chapperz66]

Wow - I need to go and lie down now!  The room is spinning - the worls is spinning.  And the world.

[ODH]

You know that scene in the Willy Wonker film - the first one - where they go on the boat ride through the tunnels

[Ray Brookes]

Pure psychedelica that had my head spinning and brilliant instrumentation. Those vocals coming from every direction sound like phantoms trying to get in front of the mic.

[Farrell Jackson]

What a great beginning! Where's my blacklight? My head is spinning around with the intertwined lead vocals. You nailed the psychedelic music of that era, Hook. Psych on!

[WarpCanada]

Cool song.  It feels spaced out and weird and cool.  Goes down nice with 80 proof whiskey.

[Greeny]

The repeated guitar melody sounds like the synth brass of a 70's / 80's cop show theme. Damn, that bass is fine. Despite the psych swirl and wall of overlapping vocals, the locked percussion, bass and rhythm work is so tight. Really dig that 'I'll place my own head upon your sharpened spike' lyric. There's so much going on but it's all clear and defined. Brilliant work Hook!

Awesome ! My headphones have a 7.1 surround setting - sounds were coming at me from every angle - superb !
