No Skin Off My Back Bro (2022 Version)

The sixth song taken from the 2016 RPM Challenge to be re-recorded in The Great 2015 Re-Recording Project. I swear that makes sense. Just trust me.

I have been saying that this round of Quarantine Tunes (the sixth and final round) is scraping the bottom of the barrel and this song is pretty much what I am talking about. It’s not bad. It’s also not good. It’s just sort of lukewarm, you know?

The lyrics were part of 2016’s theme of “there are actual people in the 21st century who believe the Earth is flat.” At the time I felt that their idiotic opinions were harmless. I definitely don’t think that anymore.

Not a lot going on with the guitar gear on this one. All of the tracks are my Les Paul Standard through my Fender Bassbreaker 15. The pedals on the rhythm tracks were an Earthquaker Devices The Depths into a Ryra the Klone. The lead used the Ryra into the boost side of a Keeley D&M Drive.

Verse 1
I’m not impressed
with your irrational mind
might I suggest
you waste someone else’s time

Verse 2
you’ve got the news
no body wants to hear
you found a way
to make the kill of the year

Not this time

Chorus
You can believe what you want to believe
it doesn’t matter to me
you can think what you want to think
it makes no difference to me

Bridge
I think you’re crazy and I just don’t care
Your logic’s hazy and I still don’t care

and another thing

Verse 3
I’m not impressed with anything that you say
you might have guessed that I prefer it this way

Not this time
