Sticking Her Needles

[artokh74]

Here's a brand new bluesy track written fast yesterday and recorded almost as fast today...and a true story to go with it, ofcourse. Kinda like this one myself...for now  )


MODIFIED: rerecorded Ukulele track on Soundcloud

It's all in the way that you use 'em
Doctor said with a grin
Well, my madhouse  lover
is gonna see me again
I worship the ground she walks on
at the altar of  the dead and the paranoid
She say I been seeing other doctors
well, she's been sticking her needles
into someone else

I got seven lizards and a python
and they get along just fine
They remind me of my family
during the better times
Although I could never be that strong                      
The doctor just could not fill that void
Still she say I spend my money on other doctors
while she's been sticking her needles
inside someone else

One barrell empty               
Another round ready to go
Standing at the street corner
assessing the damage done
Sirens wailing in the distance
while I pack up and  move on
She say I been seeing the wrong doctors
well, she's been sticking her needles
inside someone else

She say I spend my money on other doctors
while she keeps sticking the needles
into someone else

I really like the song, arrangement and delivery but I can't get past the picking, it sounds flat to me.

May sound flat regardless, ofcourse, but there isn't a single flat note in the Ukulele-track(s).In fact, the C-string is a bit sharp by mistake so about third of the notes are a little off.

My ears are really bad atm but it was distracting - definitely worth rerecording it.

Love the lyrics on this, good post.     Willie

You're right, Hilary! The more I listen the worse it gets.. Thanks much for being the one pointing this out.
Well, to my defense, I love Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Tom Waits, Sonic Youth etc.  so my ears are well adjusted to out of tune recordings.
Anyway, I redid the Ukulele track and upped it on SC. As I said, the bloody soprano thing always sounds out of tune to me, even if the auto-tuner says it's supposedly all right now...
