Title: watching you by oldrottenhead
Post by: Oldrottenhead on January 20, 2015, 08:29:16 AM
this one came quite quickly and was recorded live in the living room (before i forgot it, might do a proper version with drums n bass etc). normally i record litlr on my microbr. this time i tried the br800. still struggling with which patches to use but was pleasantly surprised with what i could do to the recorded tracks, with eq and reverb post recording, options not available on the microbr. still finding my way round the br800 but so far i'm well impressed, i need to start learning to play the guitar and sing properly now.

i have become addicted to the tv show "person of interest" which inspired the lyric.

we're watching you
we've got your number
we're here
to protect and serve
we're watching you
your every move
you can't escape
from our protection
we're monitoring your every movement
our eyes and ears are everywhere
we'll keep you safe and out of trouble
you won't see us but we'll see you
we're watching you
and those around you
the threat
could come from anywhere
we're watching you
we have the hardware
to do
what we need to do
watching you

Haven't seen the show, but I'm digging the description in the lyrics.

As usual, I enjoy your minimalist guitar, which always strikes a chord with me :) , especially in these LitLR efforts with vocals - something about that combo makes magic.
