Can You Imagine

I kinda like this one. The melody in the hook is kinda fun, and having the guitar play a melody of its own was something fun that I don’t do often. The lyrics are stream of conscious garbage, meaning they are probably about the idiot in the white house.

The guitars are all Gibson ES335. All of the tracks used both a Vox AC15 and a Fender Bassbreaker 15. The rhythm parts used a Ryra The Klone (Klon Centaur clone) and a Wren and Cuff Super Russian (Sovtek Big Muff Pi clone). The leads used a Klon KTR, a Keeley D&M Drive (just the Dan side) and for the first half of the first solo, a Donner Harmonic Square (I think it’s an EHX Pitch Fork clone). I wanted to pitch shift up a minor seventh so I could sound like Trevor Rabin in 1980’s Yes, but the 7th setting was playing 5ths so I just went with an octave down. Time to upgrade that little pedal, I think.

Chorus
There’s no way we could know
Theres no telling how this would go down
if you open your eyes you’ll see exactly how it unwound

Verse 1
words can’t describe how bad things are
never believed we’d fall this far
Can you imagine

Verse 2
Did you hear what he said last night
Do you think we could die of fright
Can you believe it

Chorus riff
Can you imagine
can you believe it
can you imagine
believe it
