What’s The Worst Thing That Can Happen by Oldrottenhead

[Oldrottenhead]

2nd song today
It is what it is.

Hey you're living on your nerves
Worried you'll fall off the edge
But hey babe
What's the worst thing that can happen

And you're running out of cash
And you're headed for a crash
But hey babe
What's the worst thing that can happen

What's the worst thing that could happen
If you already believe
That the worst thing that can happen
Has ............already happened

When you're reaching for the stars
With no one holding on the ladders
Hey babe
What's the worst thing that can happen

And you think that we don't care
But hey you haven't even asked
Hey babe
What's the worst thing that can happen

What's the worst thing that could happen
If you already believe
That the worst thing that can happen
Has ............already happened

What's the worst thing that could happen
When you can't fall any further
And the only way......is up
What's the worst thing that could happen
When you already know the answer
You really shouldn't ever ...give a up

Very folky feel to this one, James - I'm digging the fingerpicking and the message.

[SE]

Yes defo loving the finger style on the tune, cool stuff!!!

[DarrenG / The Devil's Toupee]

Some excellent fingerpicking guitar. The melody is really catchy, great vocal delivery and love the lyrics.

I am afraid to say, the finger picking isn't me but it's the smart guitar from garageband on my iphone. I had the idea for the song but no time to record it so i worked out the chord progression on my iphone to go with the lyric/melody i had already written.
i transferred that later on when everyone was in bed to my macbook and recorded a guide vocal. My intention was to remove the smart guitar only using it as a guide for my guitars, bass and vocal tracks. anyway i built a drum track around it and layered some guitars and synths, then a bass line before doing the final vocal take. but decided to leave the smart guitar in.

Sounds very good....great flipping song

[BerryPatch]

Cool song James, the fingerprinting smart guitar sounds great on here, it gives the song a nice folky feel. Great atmosphere and very timely lyrics (as the world goes to shit!).
