Lets Watch the Bubble Burst

I don’t like the rhythm guitars on this one. I had both pickups on and now I wish I just had the bridge pickup. It would have been toppier and less muddy.

Finally a song that is about something specific, even if it doesn’t make much sense… and if it’s kinda lame. The lyrics are about the Miami Marlins having their own little Covid-19 outbreak during the first week of what is passing for a Major League Baseball season. Yeah, playing in a global pandemic was a nice idea, but maybe they shoulda waited ‘till next year. My Red Sox being atrociously awful doesn’t have anything to do with this opinion. I promise.

Guitars are all Gibson ES-335, amps are all Vox AC15 and Fender Bassbreaker 15, both at the same time. The pedals on the rhythm part are an MXR Uni-Vibe and a Klon KTR. For the lead it’s the same thing but with a little Crybaby Wah-wah thrown in.

Chorus
Lets watch the bubble burst
come on and do your worst
don’t want to be the first
the bubble burst

Lets watch the bubble burst
decisions are reversed
The final has been cursed
the bubble burst

Verse 1
started as a good idea
Maybe wait another year
now the end becoming clear
good idea

do you see this working out
do you know what it’s about
never had a single doubt
work it out

Verse 2
developing catastrophe (put a pick up note in front)
it was always meant to be
If they leave it up to me
up to me

I can make the best of it
every single wasted hit
maybe hurts a little bit
best of it
