I Can’t Decide What to Do Next

It’s 12:30 am on a Saturday morning. I’m at my parents’ house helping take care of my mother while my father is in the hospital. She had a colossally shitty night health wise but everything is okay now. She’s asleep but I am a little shell shocked and afraid to close my eyes for fear of something else going wrong so I figured I’d take a few minutes to mix a tune for the RPM Record Every Month thingie. I’m using Apple AirPods Pro with the transparency setting on so that I can still hear anything going on with my mother, but that means that the mix is probably a mess because these things aren’t terribly accurate in the low end. Oh well.

But enough about me, how are you doing?

I wanted this one to have sections that were sort of out of time. It works in the beginning, but when it happens again in the middle of the song it sounds awkward instead of cool. Oh well.

This is noteworthy, gear wise, in that it’s the first song recorded entirely with my brand spanking new Gibson Les Paul Standard 50’s. I am over the moon for this sucker and yet for some reason I loaded up the first part of the song with 100 tons of soupy effects. Moron. Anyway, all of the guitar tracks are the Les Paul Standard through a Vox AC15. The pedals on the rhythm are a Ryra The Klone with a little MXR Uni-Vibe in the middle. The lead used the Ryra and a Chicago Stompworks Mr Vermin.

Chorus
I can’t decide what to do next
Can’t seem to hide or redirect
just died inside to no effect
I can’t decide what to do next

Verse 1
One final feeling
and then its over
what is believing
that’s how it goes
Continue breathing
as long as you can
What sense is being
nobody knows

Verse 2
I sense the ending
its coming for me
can’t help offending
that’s how it goes
It keeps extending
as far as you see
I’m just pretending
but does it show

note: I changed the name because I had used that name already, just a couple of months ago. Dumbass.
