I've been working on this one for a while now, there are a few spots on the vocal that clipped but I'm gonna stick with this one for a bit. I used the Garage band drums with that roll the dice feature that plays random drum beats and did the drum track first. Then I used the smart strings in garageband and made the progression. After that I did uke and  thumbjam and vocals. Very different tune for me I think.

1 drum track (GB)
1 strings (GB)
1 chorus uke
1 flute(TJ)
1 electric guitar(TJ)
1 lead vocal
1 whisper vocal

Poorly Chosen Words
written & performed by Hook
Simplify Space, remove the middle
Turn the dial, to the left a little

              We speak in what seems like
              Different languages
              We end exactly where we begin

Sanctifying grace, I could use a little
Flip the switch, it's on or off there is no middle

                  Chorus

Expectations, disappointments
Mistaken meanings, misguided emotions
Poorly chosen words

Simplify Space, remove the middle
Turn the dial, to the left a little
Sanctifying grace, I could use a little
Flip the switch, it's on or off there is no middle

Excellent arrangement, I like the strings and flute, they add a nice texture to this piece, great stuff.

Well this is certainly an open buffet of musical instrumentation... It's like a dog that goes straight for the leg and won't let go no matter how hard you try to kick it off... Your music is humping my mind right now... that's how good this is!!!
