No Time to Fall

2021 50/90 Song Number 48

Not bad. I like the phaser on the guitars in the A section, and I like the wah on the rhythm near the end. That wash of noise underneath is actually a guitar solo that was sort of hiding the slow wah effect so I buried it under a mountain of reverb and sort of turned the tables on it.

Lyrics are weak. Melody is nothing special. Harmonies are okay. Generally not a bad song. It might be worth taking a second look at somewhere down the line.

All of the guitars are my Les Paul Standard. Rhythm tracks used a Dunlop Crybaby way, an MXR Phrase 90, a Klon KTR, a Wampler Plexi Drive Mini, and a Vox AC15. I think my Plexi Drive experiments are over. I think it’s going on the resale list. It sounds fine, but even at 18 watts it just collapses under the pressure of following a Klon style pedal and being followed by a low wattage amp. It just sounds like an over compressed mess. The leads used a Ryra the Klone into a Wren and Cuff Super Russian into a Fender Bassbreaker 15.

I think you know it
the how and why
don’t what to show it
Untimely
we’re gonna blow it
why even try
and that’s just how it is

C1
We will get through it
(3x)
We will get through all of this

B2
I try to tell you
communicate
time for a break through
Delegate
won’t ever come true
can’t get it straight
and that’s just how it is

C2
I try to say it
(x3)
I try to say all of it

A3
There’s no time to fall
let’s handle it all
I feel very small
I just need to get through it
