"Six" a Tampaska original

[Hook]

For those that don't know, Tampaska is the name I've given to this project of writing to RTT's completely conceived percussion tracks. i do take some liberties with speeding up & editing his tracks to get more use out of them. This tune is from his post here https://songcrafters.org/community/index.php?topic=7990  entitled six. Maxit also put his spin on it there. I've been listening to it for a while wanting something to come to me and it finally did. I had some trouble getting it onto the mbr as it wasn't 4410000whatever, when I adjusted the rate it speed it up then I slowed it down and got this, a bit faster and higher than the original. I added 2 stereo vocal tracks and some electric guitar from thumbjam. I present to you.....Tampaska!

Six

written by Rata-Tat-Tat & Hook

Six

I've seen truth & that is not what I see
I've known kindness & kindness is not what's around me
I have strong faith but everything seems so empty

It's all empty, shallow & hollow
Nothing with substance, no one to follow
A pace to keep though it seems unreal
No time to care, no time to feel

Too much truth we got to hide
No cares about your pride
There's no really on your team
Just hired guns that create the dream

I've seen truth & that is not what I see
I've known kindness & kindness is not what's around me
I have strong faith but everything seems so empty
I've seen truth & that is not what I see
I've known kindness & kindness is not what's around me

Zeros after zeros
Accounts without a trace
Accents using accents
Such precision, skill & grace

Meaning, meter, metaphor
Actors, con men, dirty whores
Smiles, handshakes, one armed hugs
Cadillac's & well-armed thugs

Knives & backs & dirty tricks
Of all my words I choose just six
I don't trust any of you

Wow... The Tampaska project is comming along nicely... This is so F'n kewl bro... Ill be soakin this one in all day on my Friday... BTW... I got the itch to lay down some drum trax this weekend. I had a stomache virus yesterday and had to stay home from work so the wife is probably sick of me and will most likely send me to my man cave anyhow. LOL.... I got a plan.

You live in just the right spot. Punta Gordaska doesn't have the same ring to it. Neither does St. Petersburgaska or Sarasotaska. Funky ass groove and vibe dude. I like it a lot. I get a flobots feel on this. I happen to like that band a lot.

I can't believe this one didnt' get more comments. Maybe just because it's becoming school season.

One of the better tunes I've heard recently - Really dig it and I'm really zoning out big time!

I didn't want it to end, time to rewind!!!!!!

[Hook]

Thanks for the nice comments guys.
