Endlessness

Song 5 for the RPM Challenge. Building tunes around an incessant bass line is oddly appealing to me. This is a bit of a dystopian song of sorts. Thanks to anyone who listens!

Take me to the river
and hold me under water
Bow down beside me
watch the river run through me
The river is endless
and endlessness

In the river
In the river
In the river
In the river

The cold of the water
at the edge of a coming age
It all seems familiar
the people in pieces
at the end of beginnings
the armies are ready
so hold on to your children
there is no solution
just endlessness

and the river
and the river
and the river

and the river
and the river
and the river

stars keep falling
skies turn black
but I’ll keep calling
to take you back

from the river
from the river
from the river
I’m calling you

from the river
from the river
from the river
and down

I hear that bass line under it all,.. like a river dripping out of the sky.

Incessant bass = good. Your vocals = great.

Nice one. Yeah, I've been thinking (listening to stuff elsewhere) about writing to basslines. Most of the time I write with an acoustic guitar, singing it as I play it - no recording equipment is used/harmed. But something else happens if the bass is laid down first. And, as a writer, I also find it strangely appealing. Cool track... I'm ready for the next one!
