    April ( no fool) composition challenge

    in Recording

    Posted · Edited by upside downer

    Here's mine for April and I've actually done it with time to spare.

     

    Our hero just can't look on the bright side. Whether it be impending world catastrophe or piffling, inconsequential matters, he gets so wound up it all just makes him want to bash his head, as he explains to us alongside a Bo Diddleyesque riff.

     

     

    Guitar is a Harley Benton TE-52 using a Vivlex delay pedal, bass an Ashton electro-acoustic, beats are a combination of Hydrogen drums and a loop from Looperman. Recorded in Wavepad and Audacity.

     

    Words don't come easy (unless you press 'Reveal hidden contents')

     

    Spoiler

    The state of things is not good, let's be clear

    There's war in Ukraine, climate change is here

    You could pull up the covers and just stay in bed

    Or go and beat your brains out by bashing yer head

    Bash yer head

     

    You wake up sharply from a midday snooze

    And the TV's switched on to GB News

    You watch for ten minutes then you go to your shed

    Run up to the panelling and bash yer head

    Run up to the panelling and bash yer head

     

    Bash yer head

     

    My friends egg me on but I'll have to tell 'em

    That this is not good for my cerebellum

    Why don't they ever wanna have a go instead?

    I get so annoyed I wanna bash me head

    It looks like all human musicoans may be at risk.

    From that BBC report - It opens with a repetitive piano figure that transitions into a booming bass beat, as the AI Drake raps: "I came in with my ex like Selena to flex/ Bumpin' Justin Bieber the fever ain't left."

     

    Yep, we're done for, it has got our penchant for gibberish lyrics down to a tee!

    Ahh.. Of course I see your paradox... 

     

    Is it on show again? My zip's broken, you see.

    So, in the spirit of the topic title, right now you are flouncing off-site while keeping an eye out to see if anyone was impressed.

     

    My cunning plan has turned out to be a busted flush and now I feel foolish.
