Say Something

2021 509/90 Song Number 33.

The tempo thing is a gimmick. I had it set in Garageband at 140 bpm but for the first few minutes all the sections have the drummer playing at 1/2 speed. So without actually changing the tempo, the last minute or so seems to be at double time. It was a good idea at the time, but I don’t think it adds much to the overall song.

All of the guitar tracks are a Les Paul Standard 50s. The rhythm tracks have an MXR Uni-vibe into a Chicago Stompworks Blooze Maker into a Ryra The Klone into a Fender Bassbreaker 15. Leads are a Crybaby wah into a Wren and Cuff Tri Pi 70 into a Klon KTR into a Vox AC15.

Chorus
Say something - What is going on
Say something - where’d it go wrong
all nothing - nothing left behind
Still running - becoming

Bridge
just do it by yourself
(2x)

Verse 1
Your eyes are open now
you’ve got to see this for yourself
your skies are dark with clouds
The storm is coming for you

Verse 2
your eyes are closing now
I just can’t take it anymore
The darkness cloaking you
and its a comfort to me

B Verse
its like a frieght train, run you down
can you believe it, lost and found
why are you staring, standing there
what are you feeling, can you see me

B Chorus
Let me tell you something
Let me tell you something
Let me show you something
Let me show you

Saved!
