"I Had No Time" a Hook original

[Hook]

I kinda feel like I'm just getting into the spirit of collaborating but I can't just ignore a festival! This one was recorded on all my machines, over a few sessions, in the car & studio. I've been messing around with this progression for a few weeks and brought the 7/8 time(1-2,1-2,1-2-3) to it  and that just made it click for me. I recorded the clean guitar last week in my car with the 004. Then this morning I added the chorus guitar and percussion tracks using the ps-02 into the 004 in my studio. The drums are a shaker egg in my pocket and me slapping my leg for the snare. The bass & melodica were then done on the br900. I came back to it tonight and did the vocals, mixed & mastered on the br900.
The verse is 7/8 time the chorus is a mix of 4/4 & 6/8, I kinda thought the mixed meter fit the feel of the fest.

"I had No Time"
writte & performed by Hook
Takamine G series & Dean Exotica acoustic guitars,
Peavy Bass, Hohner melodica

I guess I dream of a better day
When unanswered questions don't stand in my way
A day with no need to empathize
A day when life is lived to make a better life
Every life a better life
                   I used to think of a simpler time
                   A well for water, grapes for wine
                   Now we cross satellites
                   I had no time to eat tonight
I guess I dream of a different stage
A quick adaption with the turn of the page
A stage with no need to criticize
A stage of life that's lived to make a better life
Every life a better life
                   I used to think of a simpler time
                  Unseen views for me to find
                  When the end of the day was the dark of night
                   Now I forgot my way, left or right
                
                   I used to think of a simpler time
                   A well for water, grapes for wine
                   Now we cross satellites
                   I had no time to sleep tonight

I need a day to make a better life
Every life a better life
                   I used to think of a simpler time
                   A well for water, grapes for wine
                   Now we cross satellites
                   I had no time for you tonight

Oh Yeah

Pro stuff all the way, Hook.

[Geir]

Oh yeah, this is a hit in my book !!!

Catchy and interesting at the same time, love the really cool guitar riffing and the way you take it down and bring it up again. Oh and that melodica is giving me GAS !!!

Well done hook !

[Redler]

Fantastic and fresh pop song, hook! I just admire your skills and creativity; especially on rhythm track! Well done. And like Geir, this may cause GAS to me, too. I mean the melodica...
