That's How it Goes

I started writing this one in January and finished it and recorded it in February. Now in hindsight I’m thinking I should probably have left it in January. I like the chorus. I kinda like the two guitars trading 8’s and the guitarmonies. Otherwise… the mix is a mess because I just wasn’t feeling the song anymore.

The guitars are all Gibson ES-335 Pro into a Vox AC15 and a Fender Bassbreaker 15. The rhythm tracks had a Ryra The Klone into a Malaise Forever Black Lives Matter. The leads had a Mosky Black Rat into the boost section of a Wren and Cuff Super Russian.

Verse 1
You want to be forgiven
you want to be all right
ran out of ammunition
and lost the will to fight

Verse 2
you ask for readmission
you’re seeking empathy
you have to ask permission
and take the penalty

Chorus
That’s how it goes
That’s how it goes
Everyone knows
That’s how it goes

Saved!
