I'm in.

 

A lazy lollop through Woolworth's looking for hippy wigs. Sit back, have a bit of what you fancy, close your eyes and find your neutral space.

 

 

Westfield P-bass, Indian drums and percussion from Looperman, Strats from Westfield and Harley Benton both tuned to CGCGCC for a bit of a drone effect (Westfield has Nashville strings on). Backwards guitar (trippy, maaaaan). Recorded using Wavepad and Audacity.

Ok, another massive rush job but I've just managed to get something together.

 

Our man just wants to chill, but his better half thinks he's too far gone. Can she get through to him? I present "Party".

 

 

Lyrics:

Spoiler

Puffin away, smoke rings in the air.
Got no worries. Got no cares.
Spliff in hand. Mind at ease.
Just livin' life.
Feelin' the summer breeze.


Life's pressing by
But you're stuck in a daze.
It's time to wake up
Get out of this haze.

Sun setting low, shadows on the wall.
I'm feeling fine; don't heed the call.
Whiskey by my side. A song in my heart.
Just playing my part, enjoying this art.


You say you're fine
But I see through your lies.

You can't hide from this
In your disguise.


...

Spliff in hand. Mind at ease.
Just livin' life.
Feelin' the summer breeze.


You're losing yourself,
Drowning in smoke.
It's time to wake up
Before we are broke.

Sun setting low, shadows on the wall.
I'm feeling fine; don't heed the call.
Whiskey by my side. A song in my heart.
Just playing my part, enjoying this art.


I'll be here waiting
If you choose to see.
Darling it's time
To set yourself free.


The tech stuff: bass is my Dingwall AB-HS, recorded though Line6 Helix. Horns and organ are from Native Instruments, drums are EZ Drummer. The good singing is the AI Solaria courtesy of Dreamtonics Synthesizer V; the bad singing is me recorded with a Rode NT1. All put together in Cubase, with a polish from Ozone 8.
