Urban War (new song by Kenny Mac)

[kenny mac]

Hii Dudes and Dudettes,
been doing a bit of Travelling and life etc also getting into the mix.
Anyway,I was on my way up to my bed when the idea of this song
jumped into my Head.
it was all recorded on Auria Pro and my new Focusrite itrack Dock.
probably the best piece of kit Ive bought,im still at the Early stages with it but I'm pretty pleased with the outcome.
This song tells the story of two brothers ,one younger brother has just met his demise and the older brother is blaming himself but also he is blamingthe  brother for getting mixed with the wrong people and travelling on the wrong path.
An emotional song.

Running with the crew selling cocaine and crack
You spent every single day looking over your back you fool.
I tried to be your brother get you back in the zone
But you decided where to go you had a mind of your own you fool
Another punk wasting money sitting there on his lap
Another number on the streets sitting caught in a trap you fool
The devils in the detail he was there in your head
He connected with your brain
From that moment you where dead you fool
And now all that I can think of
I can't keep,you safe
Your lying on the side walk as they cover up, your face
All this time for nothing
Such a wasted space
Your spirits disappearing
The light leaves your face
Caught up in the moment you reached out for your gun
As the bullets hit the sky you shot up at the sun you fool
All that they could see was a two bit punk not a brother or a son
When you finally sunk to the ground
Every precious little scene that we did and said
Did they play that in that moment in your mixed up head you fool
All the times we laughed when we played in the sand now you you lie there looking up
Holding my hand
Your still my little brother I can't keep you safe
I pray out for forgiveness
In the pouring rain
And I can feel your spirit flying
As it leaves this place
My heart feels like it's burning there's an open space
Another mixed up kid in the cool street scene
Another broken cog in the worlds machine another broken head
Another broken bone
Another number in the system in the twighlight zone
Another brother disappeared  another mothers son
Another fathers pride and joy taken by a gun
another cold statistic in suburban war
Another question what are we fighting for?
Your still my little brother
Now I can't keep you safe
Yeh I pray for your forgiveness
In the pouring rain
Yeh I can feel your spirit flying
As it leaves this place
My heart feels like its burning
There's an open space.
Yeh yeh yeh yeh
Yeh yeh

Great song Kenny. Real depth and grit to the story telling.

Great production too. Solid.

[Hook]

Dude, stellar song. I lost myself in it and completely forgot I was sitting in the airport.
Rock on!

[Redler]

Rap style sounds really good and chorus is just amazing, nice melodies!

Fine job on production, too! I take my hat off!

[launched]

Great tune and concept, love the vocals and the sound you got from the kick and snare. Also, perfect balance with the  guitar and synth - It doesn't sound too "Keyboardy". Sad but very real to life lyrics

Well done, it's awesome!!

That's one hell of a song Ken. It conjures up some powerful images... it feels like it should be the soundtrack to a movie... like a modern day Once Upon a Time in America or something. Epic stuff!!

[Redler]
