"Hang on tight" a Geir original

[Geir]

I felt for doing a tad more "angry" music than my usual stuff ......

The guitar-riffs was jammed out quite quickly, the lyrics took almost an evening and ended up almost impossibe to sing

this is the best I was able to get them in my limited timeframe.

Hang on tight

w/m: Geir
Ibanez ST300 electric guitar
Ibanez bass
Astel dynamic mic for vocals (recorded in my car)
Recorded, mixed and mastered on BR800

Hang on tight

I've got a hole in my pocket
I think I've lost my mind
the key to the future
was lost in space or time
the elevator turned around
it's heading for the ground
the key to my sanity
is nowhere to be found

Hang on tight
Hang on tight it's a roller-coaster ride
Hang on tight
Hang on tight

I've got a failing headache
I'm looking for my spine
when I got up tomorrow
I was feeling rather fine
the neighbours won't be looking
when they send the men in coats
they'll throw me in the water
and stone me if I float

I'll dive down to the bottom
'til I run out of air
and when I suffocate
I'll be climbing down the stairs
I'll stare into the sun
I'll stare into the moon
and when the big dog comes
I'll be running to my room

Hang on tight
Hang on tight it's a roller-coaster ride
Hang on tight
Hang on tight

got a room in the basement
where I hide the rats
they run around in circles
and scare away the bats
the snakes are quite charming
when they crawl into the tub
the tigers keep on running
'til they see the burning shrub

stop
put out the fire
roll up
the barbed wire
put down
the smoking gun
roll over
and RUN !!!

---

I'm running out of breath
my tongue just like a tie
I stumble down the hill
and hear the piglets cry
I fall down in a pond
muddy water splash
right above my head
I see two ravens crash

what will I do when they fall down
where will I hide when they hit the ground
when will I learn that the fall is here
who will be there when I get my nightmare

--

The final page is turned
my pen is out of blood
my shirt is all sweaty
from running from the mob
my heart is beating faster
a shadow has appeared
a whisper in my head
- "GET OUTTA HERE !!! "

This is great! It's getting towards Beastie Boys territory (who I like a lot). Almost a rap on the verses. Big, chunky riffs and a wild ride throughout. Love the lyrics too. Oh yeah. Viking rock!

Fabulous work Geir! Some really cool guitar sounds on this track. Vox recorded in the car  good idea - it's not easy to find a quite spot

Hi Geir, hang on tight is right. I had trouble singing along even with the words in front of me. Well worth the effort though. Nice guitar work also. Fabulous all round production................Willie

[Bluesberry]

Fantastic energy here Geir.....I am out of breath just listening to this......

[Tony W]

That's a lyric intensive song! I dig it. This one checks the boxes. Infectious rhythm, catchy as hell, and great production, though I thought the vox could come up a bit. All in all, awesome listening experience.

[Gritter]

I like it! Really good stuff.

[Kenneth]

Fast paced song, very cool!

It doesn't sound angry to me , but sounds fun,I need to look at the lyrics a little closer I think.
