Title: "ALL" a Hook original
Post by: Hook on September 08, 2013, 12:52:23 PM
Started this last Thursday, did the drums myself on the Yamaha TDX522 on Friday, added bass yesterday, did vocals & TJ today.

1 chorus rythm uke
1 clean rythm uke
1 drum track
1 bass
1 vocal
1 solo electric guitar (TJ)

ALL
written & performed by Hook
I am the president
Of the state I'm in
I have never been
 anywhere else No

All I know
All I need
Exists within
A few circular feet

The burdens & trials
Cannot break through
If only nonsense
Such as this where true

All my life life
Spent searching to find
An opening within this line

All I need
Exists within
A few circular feet
All my life
A chance to pass
& break ahead
To mend a tear
& erase what's been said
All my life
Spent searching to find

Ditto that.

And then I heard the first sentence in the lyrics and I was like "WHAT !!!!" ;D ;D ;D ;D You stole my signature song (that's not finished after starting it over a year ago ::)). Well good someone could make use of it.

A fabulous song Hook. One of my (many) favourites of yours!!
That TJ lead is really fab!

Damn cool. I'm getting a slight eastern feel on that electric guitar part, and the soupy swirl of the ukes and vocal gives this a really psychedelic vibe. Right up my street. Killer!

Hiya Hook, good to hear you're still churning out great songs. I really liked the lead guitar work in the background, it creates a very cool layer against the ukes and vox. Very nice vox as well and I like the lyrics. Good to hear folks hitting their own drums as well!

Don't worry brother. I love it, and I'm honored that you used my signature. Btw, I've been using that since the birth of Internet (was my "finger" signature in 91 or 92 when I first stepped into this wonderful world-shrinking web).

Still amazed by that fake guitar lead as well. You are an artist bro!

OK, this Hook original needs to be bumped for sure.  One of my favourites from this site.
