"Linear Lifestyle" - original by FuzzFace with cuthbert

[FuzzFace]

This is the opening song on my album in progress.  Many thanks to cuthbert for helping me realize my vision on this one.

Enjoy!


"Linear Lifestyle"

You can build a life
or you can tear one down
You can spend all your time
just hanging around

The Great Pyramid
is made of blocks
Do you measure yourself
by the tick of a clock?

Time is not a line -- it's a dot!
Forever exists in a single spot
You're so hung up on where you've got
But life is more than a pedantic plot

In your dreams do you scour the ocean floor?
Is your life a long quest to find a trap door?
Do you fall asleep before you turn the page?
Do you yearn to return to a bygone age?



FuzzFace:  Vocals (2 tracks), Bass (3 tracks), Drums (Yahama DD65)
cuthbert:  Piano, Micromoog, Tolerance for pickiness lol

Lovin' it. Great collab and top notch song! The lyrics are very good and the production is a good balance of quirk and drive.

[Greeny]

This is damn good. I loved it straight from the off. It has so much originality, energy and attitude. That solid yet melodic bass attack really, really works. Kind of like Joy Division with a touch of David Byrne / Talking Heads quirkiness. I really dig it, guys. Gonna need another listen right now...

[Bluesberry]

Fuzz man, you are on damn fire buddy.  I TOTALLY love this one.  The lyrics remind me of Roger Waters at his best.  The music, yeah a bit of the old Joy Division drive there.  Absolutly a joy to listen to.  Very good production here.  Nice to see Cuth getting in on the action with his beautiful keys there, perfectly played.

Oh, yeah, this is great, guys! I love the instrument selection, and the vocals sound very good. Very cool key arrangement, Cuth!

[FuzzFace]

the vocals sound very good

Thanks!  I am brutal with melodies so I opted to simply bark like a junkyard dog.  Wasn't sure if I pulled it off.


Thanks to everyone for your supportive comments!

I have other songs in the works and am definitely open to suggestions/ideas on how to improve upon this format/approach I am using.

HI Trevor another great song and team work . your music
has it s own great style enjoyed and a bump up NEIL

[cuthbert]

It was actually a lot of fun working with you on this song, Trevor! Great lyrics, appropriately urgent delivery, and the double-tracked bass is really powerful...I agree with BB, very Joy Division-esque.

Your work definitely inspired the pianner playing here, and also caused me to drag the Micromoog out of storage and to rediscover what a great instrument it really is. All pluses! 

Thanks everybody,
cuth

[Kenny B]
