"Withers Away" a Hook original

[Hook]

Been so wrapped up in AtmosPhest that I needed to write a song, so this came out this afternoon.  Uke /vocal done in the car, u-bass done tonight at home.
1 uke/vocal (stereo)
1 U-Bass

Withers Away

written & performed by Hook

Hey hey what you doing
have you got your coffee brewing
Has your get up and go got up and gone
are you greet in the day assuming it'll go wrong

Hey hey what you doing
with my head you're screwing
and I'm not sure that I should keep doing what I'm doing
because I know it's going to
lead to my ruin

Time to stop catch your breath hold the pose
clear my head clear my throat
and blow my nose
and take a moment
to smell the rose
before it withers away

Hey hey what you doing
you and I should go canoeing
and connect back with nature and cleanse our soul
Will be ready when we get back to rock 'n roll

Time to think and ask a question or two
if you don't you'll never know what to do
and you better get on doing what you got to do
before it withers away

Hey hey what you doing
Are those my memories that you're removing
Could it be that easy just a mental delete
What if there's a glitch and it gets stuck on repeat

Time to stop catch your breath hold the pose
clear my head clear my throat
and blow my nose
and take a moment
to smell the rose
before it withers away

A truly catchy song.  Lyrics are so inventive -  "....clear my head and blow my nose"

Brilliant.

And you are the uke-meister.

Very nice song!!!

Agree with the word of "uke master"

This is a GREAT, FUN composition, but I think it obviously suffers from haphazard recording in your car. You should keep the stops in the rhythm, and the lyrical delivery needs tightened up a bit, of course, but this whole thing feels like it deserves proper focus and consideration toward glossier and more accurate recording of it. I like the feeling of the song. very pleasant to hear, and full of tongue-in-cheekiness.
