Another song for the RPM Challenge Record Every Month thing. I have three for May but I haven’t decided which one to actually submit. I’m leaning toward this one, but the next one I upload might be a smidge better. We’ll see.
I think the lyrics are about waking up? Maybe?
The guitars are all my shiny new Gibson Les Paul Standard 50s. The amp for all of the guitar tracks is a Vox AC15. The pedals for the rhythm tracks was just a Ryra The Klone. The leads for all but the end were the Ryra and the Malaise Forever Black Lives Matter. The little thing at the end was an MXR Univibe and the Ryra.
A1
Lay awake listening to the darkness
half asleep sensing all the calmness
close your eyes waiting for the sunrise
hold it back hoping that it never comes
B1
Pre dawn moonlight - Always feels right
morning in site - Always so bright
come on morning - tired of waiting
time for waking - get on with it
Chorus
No surprise no say in what comes after
close your eyes and feel as it all shatters
A2
In the sky subtle changes coming
right outside everything is waking
Sense the light before you can see it
brighter sky creeping impercepibly
