Walkin' The Plank - Gary Carciello and Farrell Jackson

[Farrell Jackson]

Gary sent the music over for my vocal addition. It had a Led Zep vibe so I did my best to give it a Plant-esque style of vocal. I used a vintage, 1976, dynamic mic for the vocals to help me get there. I went with this first take vocal, flaws and all, because I liked the rawness of it and I'm not sure I could have done any better anyway, lol.

All music - Gary Carciello.

Vocal and lyric - Farrell Jackson.

Walkin' The Plank

Life seems to be moving
At a furious pace
One day ends
As another begins
Bringing more tasks
Than the day before

Ahhhhh....ahhhhh
Ahhhhh....ahhhhh

Coming in the window
Out the front door
Running on legs
That are growing sore
A pace that's killing
My tired back
Into the grittle
Where the meat is stacked
Higher and higher
Counting the cracks

No mistake.. I'm walkin the plank...ahhhh
It doesn't reach, the other bank...ahhhh
Hands tied, a blind fold......ahhhh
No treasures to hold......ahhhh

Ahhhhh....ahhhhh
Ahhhhh....ahhhhh

I used to long
For the good days
When wisdom brings
Happiness and fortune
Now that it's here
I'm not sure what to do
It seems like rubbish
Dumped in the slew
Put in the hands
Of the Garbage man

Make no mistake
Walkin the plank
It doesn't reach the other bank
Hands tied, a blind fold
No treasures to hold oo oo oo

Great! It would sit nicely on a Zep album. You got a great Voice Farrell. The song is super and a good decision to get it out there, warts and all, to be honest i couldn't hear anything even slightly out. That said, it does have a great live feel, but tight nonetheless. Great stuff, really glad i heard this.
