I Always Get Things Wrong by Oldrottenhead

I don't think this qualifies for the new gear fest, as i didn't use my new mic stand. Tho i did use my new monitoring headphones https://www.andertons.co.uk/krk-kns-6400-professional-headphones?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=surfaces&gclid=CjwKCAiA2rOeBhAsEiwA2Pl7Q2x5Sbd9gOHR1LduKDicgHfcMd9gBf0qnLQPNV1wK3i42BP1n-wSBhoCU0sQAvD_BwE and  i connected my iphone to my focusrite sound card with my new apple lightnighning headphone jack https://www.argos.co.uk/product/7423745?istCompanyId=a74d8886-5df9-4baa-b776-166b3bf9111c&istFeedId=c290d9a9-b5d6-423c-841d-2a559621874c&istItemId=ixititapi&istBid=t&&cmpid=GS001&_$ja=tsid:59157%7cacid:534-693-8244%7ccid:16577722243%7cagid:132965638685%7ctid:pla-952532260494%7ccrid:587868959751%7cnw:u%7crnd:16565082268873855797%7cdvc:c%7cadp:%7cmt:%7cloc:1007311&utm_source=Google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=16577722243&utm_term=7423745&utm_content=shopping&utm_custom1=132965638685&utm_custom2=534-693-8244&GPDP=true&gclid=CjwKCAiA2rOeBhAsEiwA2Pl7Q-Vmo2-W6s-WuPZfNZZudJw8i_2-0SKhlxNLZA9mFru4moe9TfAKnBoCfPAQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

Anyway it is what it is.

When i open my mouth
And let the words come out
Try say what I mean
I always get things wrong

When I open the door
And step into the room
I say the stupidest things
I always get things wrong

But I'll try
To make it right
I'll try
Steady the boat
I'll try
Get away with it
But I always
Get things wrong

When I'm out on the road
I think I know where I'm going
Till I take a wrong turn
I always get things wrong

When I'm singing the words
To my favourite song
When the chorus arrives
I always get things wrong

I'll try
To make it right
I'll try
Steady the boat
I'll try
Get away with it
But I always
Get things wrong

I always I always I always get things wrong x 4

I never get it right
Tho sometimes I get close
But hey no cigar
I always get things wrong

Well I'm a hopeless case
But I won't give up
I'll keep on trying
Even if I always get things wrong
Get things wrong etc

Love the gentle, insistent hooks. Everything fab and in it's right place. The part that really stood out for me was the section with the descending chords that starts about 2:25 - wow... I fucking love that to bits. Great guitars, and the bass is brilliant. And sung beautifully of course. A total belter.

[Pete C]

Lovely sounding song and a nice relaxing listen. I think I get the message of the lyrics...its why I refuse to go with my wife when she's shopping for clothes as whatever I say is wrong !

Nice song James! Great melancholic music and words here. Hypnotic bass and lovely gentle guitar parts.

[Farrell Jackson]

A dark sound ORH with the minor chords. Cool vocals to match the flow of the song. I agree with Greeny on the descending chords section, that is an excellent interlude. Good stuff!

You got this one right Jim 😁

[Mike_S]

Great vibe, lovely gentle insistent riff. Really enjoyed it Jim.

I would say this ain't wrong!  really nice work... and a lovely progression there...
very nice.

Love those descending chords in the middle part. And I know a little about always getting things wrong, too.

This is a beauty, James.

There's a Calexico feel to this: A bit of sadness and mystery – especially the dissonant chord in the chorus. If I were ear-trained, I'd tell you exactly what that chord is.

I listened to this yesterday, in one ear with my Bluetooth headset. It sounded very different today with my "good" headphones. I almost preferred something about the headset sound – less bass.

I'd say this counts as a New Gear Fest entry. You're an admin. Make the call.
