"Crazy" a Hook original w/Rata-Tat-Tat

[Hook]

So this is inspired by RTT's "Crazy Drum" track that he posted the other day. All but the bass track was recorded in my car this afternoon on the 004, all the effects and vocals recorded through the ps-02. Another quirky uke tune that came out of nowhere, I took the "Crazy" out of RTT's post title & the words just flowed. I exported all the tracks and put them on my br to add the bass (punk setting)
1-clean uke (004 on board mic)
1- distorted uke
3- vocal tracks
1- distorted bass
1- stereo drum track (thanks RTT)

"Crazy"
written by Hook
performed by Rata-Tat-Tat & Hook
Rogue baritone uke, Peavy bass

Slipping, I'm slipping fast
Can't hold on, I just can't grasp

   Trying to decipher your sincerity
   All the while ignoring all reality
   I really have to ask myself
   How much crazy dwells in me?

Slipping into crazy

Falling, still I fall
A deep abyss of endlessness
Nothing to grip at all

   Trying to decipher this formality
   All the while ignoring congeniality
   I really need to ask myself
   How much crazy dwells in me?

Falling into crazy

   Trying to decipher your sincerity
   All the while ignoring all reality
   I really have to ask myself
   How much crazy dwells in me?

Crazy

Floating dandelion
Off to grow again to live without life

So F'n crazy good is what this is... I remember the days of singing in my wife's truck it made such a great studio... This simply awesome. Well done good sir.

A most fitting song for where I sit.
I was 5 min from home after working a long shift and got caught behind a severe accident.
I'm thinking someone has passed from this. Anyways this is one crazy ass song bud. I did not
Know of these crazy drums but they sound sweet.
The whole production is collosal and ukes and your panned different effect
Vox aRe superb!! Love it man!!! Rock out!!

[The Gobi Desert Canoe Club]

Hi, yep crazy as a box of frogs but strangely compelling. Good lyrics...........Willie

[launched]

I knew nothing of the crazy drums!!!

The use of distorted uke is cool as hell!! Wacked out and awesome!! Spooked out vox and bass too.

I'm lovin' it!

[Rata-tat-tat]

Sorry guys I forgot to mention this drum track in any PM's... Been listening to this track all day. There's so many interesting tones in there Hook. At one point I thought you were playing your Uke with a bow.... I think it may have been the bass guitar... So F'n kewl...Awesome!!!!

Cool song! For some reason makes me think of King Crimson.

i must be getting too old i thought i already commented on this one, i'm getting a postcard record vibe from this uno joseph k and orange juice but also early pere ubu from the uke's. magic guys.

i deffo must be getting old i'm sure i put tod's drum track on my mbr for a wee go but it's not there either. the fade out at the end also reminds me of irish indy band stump. your uke never ceases to maze me hook.

yook on

[Geir]

Wow Hook - that is one crazy and experimental track - almost psychedelic - with loads of layers and great lyrics. Off for another listen!
