Condemned

This song is a bit of a mess, but I think I kinda like it. I have an unwritten rule during recording projects like this that I won’t copy and paste sections of guitar tracks. If a song has two verses I will record the guitar parts for the verse twice. This song broke that rule because I am not good at time management. I had three songs to finish rhythm guitar parts and then I would be done with rhythm guitar. My laptop was running on battery and I was down to about 20% when I finished the second song. I thought I could finish this one too but the battery died as I was recording the verse that follows the first guitar solo. At that point I had at least one version of all of the remaining sections (or so I thought) so I said screw it and started copying and pasting. It wasn’t until I got to the last note that I realized I didn’t have a last note. Screw it.

The lyrics are another fuck you, wear a mask. There’s a global pandemic, stop being a selfish prick. I feel kinda strongly about this… you assholes.

This is actually the 11th song in a 10 song project. Why? I don’t know, I just felt like it. It’s actually the 12th song, but song #9 never got past the noodling on my iPad stage.

Rhythm guitar is Les Paul to KTR to Bassbreaker 15. Lead is ES 335 to KTR to Bassbreaker 15.

Chorus
Comes a time
when you find
its the end

Comes a time
when you find
you’re condemed

Verse 1
it’s simple to say
its my way
its harder to act
the right way

but given the chance
to not stray
they take up the stance
its my way

Verse 2
There’s no turning back
from chaos
you’ve missed your last chance
betrayed us

You could do it right
and stand tall
you could be the light
but you fall
