don't ask by oldrottenhead

[Oldrottenhead]

got the juno out from under the bed and had a spare hour.

the sound of one hand clapping.

well nothing isn't happening
just the silence burning bright
the shadow casts a resonance
of the echoes in dischord
it's funny when you see it
disappear before
you cache in the meaning
from a rainy day
standing on parade
for all to see
shoulders back
out straight
under the facade
of ignorance
a multitude of sins
displayed
don't ask me
coz i don't know
don't ask me
coz i don't know
it's simply complicated
underlying tip to toe
the backdrop out of focus
the sound of no tones
it's funny when you hear it
occupying space
the gap between the notes
fills in the time
rain on this parade
of ignorance
don't ask me
coz i don't know
don't ask me
coz i don't know
Don't!

Don't Ask

Nice Juno work... has a dark feel... could be a soundtrack to a vampire movie???. Love it ORH.

[Geir]

James asked me to add some guitar ...

so I did

hope it sounds ok James ... couldn't get you on the phone (guess you're working) so I took a chance and posted it

[Oldrottenhead]

fmgwabp you just blew me off my chair bloody magic geir.

[The Gobi Desert Canoe Club]

Love both versions but that guitar adds a new dimension. Top notch collab guys..............Willie

[Krasi]

I was really wondering what a guitar would add to this great already track but Geir has really found a way to make it sound soo much better!!!
Everything reminds me a bit of Depeche Mode which I'm huge fan of and seen them 4 times..yeeeee.
The chord changes on that Juno are beautifully hypnotic and ORH is on his usual form.
I love it...yes!!! 

[Farrell Jackson]

Man ORH...I wish I could put together a song in a spare hour....I'm envious of your skill to do this! That takes focus and talent. I do like the lyric you have here......nice work that sounds much better than an hours work!

cheers farrell, time is a tight commodity in my household, so when i get some spare i grab it, great thing with the microbr is ifyou have an idea rattling through your head, you just switch it on plug in and see what happens.

sometimes nothing hapens but as i was away on vacation for two weeks some ideas bubbled up to the surface and i had the house to myself for an hour.

[Damián]

Nice song! Like the atmosphere a little tense and dark

The guitar sounds really fantastic!

Cheers for Jim and Geir!!!
