Title: "Neverending Show" w/Lurker
Post by: Blooby on May 31, 2024, 09:07:16 AM

We finally got around to finishing this a week or two ago. Late shift today so had a moment to attempt an initial mix. Now that I think of it, he just had me remix "Insomniac." I believe this to be a cry for help.

Bourbon, John... More bourbon.

Great little rocker.  Vocals are top notch and the guitar work is outstanding.

These might be the words.

Round and round I can't put it down
The same old doubts getting way too loud
Too many thoughts trapped inside my head
Nothing resolved just fed to the dread

You tell me just to let it go
But my head's a nonstop show
Playing through the good and bad
The won the lost the never had

I can't make it stop
My brain keeps switching from thought to thought
I can't make it stop
The channel keeps changing and it won't turn off

Tuning out because I was bored
I noticed the things that others ignored
A smart little kid who got bad grades
An underachiever in the worst way

They tell me a drug is what I need
Along with new age therapy
Don't just tell me
Give it to me
Give it to me

All day I can't concentrate
I lie in bed much too late
Trying to find my missing sleep
Counting tails for Miss Bo Peep

You guys let it all hang out here and that's good to hear. Nice and fresh and loose. I like that rough rhythm tone on guitar. It's different for you guys and will sit beside some of your other stuff nicely. Great bit in the middle, that breakdown with "give it to me... give it to me" and then that corking solo. Like it.

Classic rock and a great track. Excellent strong vocals, excellent production and love those rhythm guitar tones. Then that guitar solo ... wow.

Dark rock. Nice and nasty at the same time. Well put together with strong vox and that dirty, dirty lead!

Good vocalization John! Blooby you have the distortion pedal (s) dialed in. A rocker on the dark side!

This is a killer! Manic vocals and raunchy guitars.  The solo is wild. Brilliant.

I think reading these lyrics made me smile and laugh... so clever and so great... so relevant too... how does John do that?  There is serious subject there and yet it is so funny too... I know I have been comped to Zappa but these lyrics are really Zappa ish.... that guy could get his point across and so does this. 

the guitars are fabulous as are the drums.... Bass works perfect... but I am listening on cans just now so they are a bit light... but I think the mix works...nothing wrong.

also on multiple listens this could be Rik Ocasek singing this, at least very much in places.... then Bruce goes all down the EJ rabbit hole of guitar works..  and epic song in 3 minutes....

PERFECT SONG MEN.

THE CHANNEL KEEPS CHANGING AND IT WON'T TURN OFF

 ...... what can I say? I'm a fan.

This is maybe a tad rockier than most of your stuff (or maybe I'm just a bit behind, keeping up with your new pedals bloody  ;D )

Great vocals great lyrics great instrument handling  8) and a fab solo ...
