Thats Not How Its Supposed to Be

2024 50/90 Challenge idea number 13 becomes finished song number five.

Five down, 45 to go. We’re 10% of the way through the challenge!

I found out the hard way that using an apostrophe in the song title here at Alonetone means you cannot use the file in the embedded mp3 player on the 50/90 website. This title should have three apostrophes in it. Insert the frustrated sigh here.

I like this one more than I usually like my crummy songs. I like the chorus a lot. I like the little pre chorus. The verse and the break in the middle are okay. Should it be a little faster? Probably. Should I have kept the harmony vocal out of the chorus? Maybe. Should I have used the wah-wah pedal more? OBVIOUSLY!

The rhythm guitar tracks are my Les Paul Custom into a Klon KTR into a Keeley D&M Drive into both a Fender Bassbreaker 15 and a Vox MV50 Clean, both of which running direct outputs with built in speaker emulation. The lead guitar is my SG Standard into a Real McCoy Customs RMC10 into a Wren and Cuff Tall Font Russian into a Klon KTR into a Seymour Duncan Vapor Trails into the same two amplifiers.

Chorus
That’s not how it’s s’posed to be
I don’t know how you can’t see
It’s not like it’s down to me
That’s not how it’s s’posed to be

Verse 1
Land of the free
Or so it seems
Right at the brink
I guarantee

Pre chorus
Be something better
Never again

Verse 2
Waiting to hear
As it draws near
So much to fear
Nothing is clear

Bridge
Come what may
There’s no way
What you say
It’s today
What do you know?

Saved!
