"I Wish You Knew" a FuzzFace original

[FuzzFace]

Hi Folks, thanks for all the encouraging words and inspiration.
Just started writing some new originals.
Enjoy!


"I Wish You Knew"

You've flown everywhere from Abu Dhabi to Zimbabwe
Read every book and seen every foreign movie
But what will quench your thirst?
I wish you knew
because that is what I need too.

You hold multiple degrees
from a couple of fancy universities
You have friends from practically every country
But what is it that will make you happy?
I wish you knew
because that is what I need too.

You have dined at the top of Cloud City
sampled wine and many a delicacy
Your life is a meeting of minds
philosophies and postulations all kinds
You are always on the move
but when you're through
I will still be here too.

I like the lyrics and that bass guitar riff is very 'effective'. Yes, less is more, this minimalistic style works well on this!!

Thanks man. 

I was thinking about what else to add to this, as this was intended to be the skeleton, however once I finished it I couldn't think of anything else to do with it.

First off, fantastic lyrics.  Sparse works well.  If it were me I would bring more dynamics into this by varying the sections into soft (the way you are doing it now), hard, soft. Something like that.  And on the hard middle section I would bring in more drums and electric guitar (power chords), and sing it real hard in the middle section.  Maybe even put in bass solo for the hell of it after the hard middle section (with the power chords still crashing) before settling back down for the final section soft like it is here.  Thats what I hear and would have done here.  Or you can totally ignore what I just said, it sounds good as it is too.  Thats what I hear here. I think a little dynamic variation would lift this up from very good into a huge song.

Hmm... this is giving me ideas.

Hey, hey, I like this a lot. Reminds me a bit of Laurie Anderson, which is, of course, a Good Thing.

yes i do believe that this is a good one
and i feel that the performance works well
I like the approach you have chosen to work with
Lonely and sparse, this sound is all yours.

I've heard some of the covers you posted lately and have enjoyed them (and have some of them on my iPod, which not many make it onto).  Great to hear an original and good that it's right up there with the rest of your work.  It's reminiscent of early 80's post-punk, which is right at the heart of where I come from musically.

I think I'm a fan...

Wow!  What an honour!  Thank-you!
