Trampled

A quickly improvised tune with some stream-of-consciousness lyrics. Written/recorded hastily in the dead of night on Tuesday 11/27 with a short overdub session on Thursday 11/29, when I should have been sleeping.

All basic tracks are first takes. This version is a combination of the first and third mixes. I tried a guitar solo, but it didn’t stick.

Lyrics:

My heart is like a beast
that’s been caged up for too long
My breath smells of the feast
laid out yesterday at dawn
My hands stink of the river
an’ there’s shit upon my heel
And now’s the time you have chosen
to ask me how I feel. How I feel?

I feel trampled by the animals
I feel blown upon the wind
I feel rattled in my cage
I feel too tired to pretend
I feel the weight of millions
pressing on my soul
I feel the strength of ages
telling me to go yeah, go.

With our fathers at our sides
we will make our way home
With our mothers as our guides
we shall not stray as we roam
Sheltered in forgiveness
coddled by our fears
Clear as to our past
and future termination nears

Sounds good, kinda reminds me of some of the music in the movie Natural Born Killers.

Agree with Geas on the tumbleweed desert thing you have going on here. I will be listening to this on my next desert cruise....which will be tomorrow morning ;)

Love the stream of consciousness flowing nature of this. Always look forward to hearing your work here man.

There aint nothing fenced in about you, fella! Another amazing zing zing track.

......... and I love the sound of your acoustic, really recorded well........as Reg says, keep the steam flowing.........I am just getting myself set up again after a long year with out too much recording. Trying to get my stream flowing again too.

Dave Berry said December 3, 2012 1:03am

This is good man, real good. This is exactly what I needed to hear right now, at this moment. Very good.

Reefwalker said December 3, 2012 12:13am

Like the fading trem FX on guitar, great compliment to the ambiance of your vox

Hey, thanks Reg. I'll try to keep it open... I recently moved all my music/recording gear from my cramped bedroom to my son's old room now that he's at university. This was the first 1/2 way decent thing I recorded since I set up in here. I'm gonna try to keep things rolling so I'll be warmed up for RPM 2013! :-) Peace.
