Red Mist

The Gobi Desert Canoe Club · January 02, 2014, 10:10:11 AM

Hi all, hope you all had a good Christmas and New Year. Anyway I think there's been far to many happy songs around and i felt it was time to address the balance

First of the New Year and I hope there will be many more some hopefully a bit cheerier than this one. Regards Roscoe

My friend Dave had a troubled mind
Although he tried so hard to be kind
But the voices spoke and he had to do
Whatever it was they told him to

Now my friend Dave had a girl named Sue
So much in love it was all she could do
But late one night the voices spoke
Saomething broke and the red mist came down

Don't hurt me, don't hurt me she cried
I don't really want to die
I love you, I love you she said
But Dave couldn't stop 'til she was dead

My friend Gene was soon on the scene
But it broke his heart at what he found
My friend Dave was broken down
And the red mist was all around

Inst, chorus, verse 3, outro

That has some rather disturbing lyrical content. I am liking the song structure. I must admit that the chorusing or tremolo on the guitar I find to be a bit distracting. I would love the bass and the outro lead to be boosted as well. Just one person's opinion, though.

Hope this wasn't non-fiction.

Nice post.

Thank you guys, a little dark perhaps. It was put together in about half a day and foolishly, I only listened through cans so the balance is a little off. Not really worth a re-mix so onto the next. Once again thank you. Roscoe
