I wrote a song a while back called Boom, this is a new song also called Boom. The E minor in brackets is because i only played that chord throughout. Music done over the last few days in garageband. Vocals done on Br800 using MicroBR as a mic via the line in.

held down no sun he was born on the wrong side of town
no hope no chance he sits at the back of the class
no warmth no love that's something that he never ever had
he's primed to blow he's a bomb about to go
boom!
he don't care about you cos ain't no one care about him
no help no choice never had a say never had a voice
so don't be surprised when he tries to take your life
he's primed to blow he's a bomb about to go
boom!
don't blame this man this man that you helped make
all he ever needed was the helping hand that you never gave
no fear no love no way out
he's primed to blow he's a bomb about to go
boom!

You're getting great results from Garageband, Jim. I love the arpeggiator, and the entire backing hangs together really well. I'd like to push some of your vocals further to front - in the verses at least.

I've heard some excellent songs written with only two chords, but this is the first one I've heard with only one!

Nice ending too.

Pow, right in the kisser Jimmy!! I dig it, has a driving vibe that lasts and lasts even though it's less than three minutes long.

Agree the vox could come up a bit.
