I listen to this song and I am struck by how little there is to it. It sounds simple and basic and un-special in every way.
Why then was it such an absolute nightmare to sing. I mean… I had to dumb down the melody a ton just to get something down. It was awful. The melody I wrote initially wasn’t terribly hard and it sat right in my vocal range, but good lord I just couldn’t do it.
Hopefully the guitarmonies distract from the singing because guitarmonies, even when they are silly and lame like they are here, are just generally awesome.
All the guitar tracks are my Les Paul Standard. The rhythm used a Klon KTR into a Vox AC15. The leads used a Ryra The Klone into a Keeley D&M Drive into a Fender Bassbreaker 15.
Verse 1 & 3
Let me show you
how much pain I feel
I could tell you but there’s just no way
Verse 2
Words don’t matter
I can’t just explain
Explainations just won’t be enough
Chorus
There’s the how and the why
its no use don’t you cry
try your best do or die
nothing to say nothing can help us

Oh yeah, the guitarmonies here are definitely awesome - they sound really good. I'm with you, sucker for any guitar harmonies, but these have got a bit of that celtic vibe that kinda lifts them above others.
