'Survive' - A Kenny, Flash & Greeny collaboration for Coronavirusfest

Greeny · March 29, 2020, 08:32:36 AM

Kenny should be posting this really as it's his song. He's kindly (and riskily!) letting me post it unheard though

Kenny on everything except bass (Flash Harry) and vocals (me).

Lyrics seem to be coming quite easily in this strange state of anxiety & limbo.

Thanks Kenny - was a real pleasure!

Survive

We got to hold on to each other
We got to hold on to hope

cause when the rain comes down
it'll catch you in its deluge
there are no instructions to survive

we got to hold on to the future
we got to hold on to the past
break the fear and live like lovers
waiting for this all to pass

cause when the sky's a shroud
it'll catch you in its deluge
we have no manual to survive

When you're locked down and surviving
it's gallows humour all the way

(solo)

cause when the rain comes down
it'll catch you in its deluge
there are no instructions to survive

we got to save a little kindness
we got to save a little love
remember we're all hurting in our 4 walls
waiting for this madness to stop

we'll survive
and stay alive...

I am absolutely overjoyed about how this turned out and the way it came about.
3 songcrafters just fell into this song and went with the flow and the song created itself ,the process happened that fast and smoothly.
The lead guitar was just a volume pedal and some reverb and the Michael Kelly strat.
Thanks Greeny and Mike you did an outstanding job.
