Sucker (2022 Version)

Quarantine Tunes Volume 6 is one step closer to completion. Only two more songs after this one.

Finally, right?

A lame attempt at funky guitar. I like the song even if it’s kind of a lame attempt at cool. Oh well. The arrangement is pretty much the same as the first time (the 2017 RPM Challenge, I think) with just a little bit tacked onto the beginning and end. The mix sounds confused to me, but my ears might just be tired. Oh who am I kidding, the mix is sloppy. Nothing new there.

The guitars are all Les Paul Standard into a Fender Bassbreaker 15. The rhythm tracks used an Earthquaker Devices The Depths into a Keeley Super Phat Mod into a Ryra the Klone. Leads used a Real McCoy Custom RMC10 wah into the Ryra into a Keeley D&M Drive.

do you remember when
he said that
did you expect that he’d
come through
are you so gulible
that you’d think
this is what’s best for us
Not this time

you heard it
believed it
you thought it
sounded good
he pulled it
over you
you sucker
you did this

I saw it
all coming
you sat there
taking it
he fed you
these lies and
you smiled
asking for more

The fear
the hate
the lies
listen
