Fooled Me Twice - Mike_S covers Hook for Tributefest

[Mike_S]

Hook, I did my best here, completely different to your original, but  this is how i was hearing it, like a kind of swing / blues type thing. I omitted some of the lyrics as i was struggling with the arrangment. Anyway, great original track Hook, thanks for leaving open - great fun doing it!!

Lyrics:

I evade, I contradict
Bob & swerve, subtle shifts
In futures face I recognize
The eyes but not the shape & size

I demean site unseen
Cast aside & deem unclean
On futures face lies a grin
Comforting yet clearly sin

      We are pulled, seldom pushed
       Enticed by spice
       Spirits & spells, waterless wells
       Deceived me not once but
       Fooled me twice

I pretend & I convince
No wall of fire, just a plain fence
Futures face is hidden by
Shadows cast from fears stacked high

I demean site unseen
Cast aside & deem unclean
On futures face lies a grin
Comforting yet clearly sin

       We are pulled, seldom pushed
       Enticed by spice
       Spirits & spells, waterless wells
       Deceived me not once but
       Fooled me twice

Man I absolutely love this & am very humbled, thank you! I totally dig the arrangement & style change, it really gives it some balls & I love the vocal; you deliver it with a fabulous edge. The chorus just sounds so damn cool! This will get many listens, thank you brother!
Rock On!

[Mike_S]

Thanks so much for listening Alex / Hook,

I am so glad you approve Hook, I have to say i loved the original it had a real unique quality to it but I wasn't sure how to approach it, i had an initial go a few weeks ago and something was happening but i still wasn't sure how to do it, but the second go i had this weekend it started to evolve into this bluesy shuffle thing. So much fun on this one. Lovin' the lyrics also by the way they are super!!

[Hook]

Many, many listens & I really dig it brother.
Thanks!
ON!

[Ella]

Enjoyable

I listened to the original first and did not expect this. I really enjoyed this and agree with Nick.
