save the day and rescue me by oldrottenhead

[Oldrottenhead]

got out my microbr and £10 acoustic and had a wee experiment in boredom. recorded via onboard mic. recorded the arpeggiated guitar bits first then recorded vocal and strummed chords live over the top of it.

you can drag me up the mountain
and throw me down into the sea
you can weigh me down with rocks and stones
and kick me till i scream
the wind will drown my cries out
and the clouds will hide my pain
and i could scream just like a banshee
but no ones gonna come
and save the day
and rescue me
you can tie me up and bind me
and prick my tender skin
you can jab and poke and prod me
and do it all again
you can tear my flesh asunder
and leave me there to die
to pray for god's forgiveness
and hope that he will come
and save the day
and rescue me

save the day and rescue me

Wonderful study in how a simple arrangement can really work, had me from the first chord Jim, and I would say if this is an experiment it works! Interesting lyrics young man, and quite disconcerting... is all OK?

Too much TV makes Jim a melancholy boy.

What an incredible voice.

[Mike_S]

Powerful, powerful stuff. Right out there, the simple gentle, haunting guitar is the perfect backdrop. This pierces the soul.

[Geir]

Now that was wonderful.

Well done old man!
