Better Way

Robert James

2024 RPM Challenge idea number 17 becomes finished song number 15.

I tried to be screwy and make the verses the more developed section than the chorus. Just for something different. There are vocal harmonies in the verses but not in the chorus (until the end). Stuff like that. It doesn’t really work. I don’t think I like the way this one turned out.

Lead guitars are an ES-335 Pro and the rhythm is a Les Paul Custom. Amps are the direct outputs of both a Fender Bassbreaker 15 and a Vox MV50 Clean. Pedals for the rhythm tracks are an Earthquaker Devices The Depths into a Klon KTR into a Keeley D&M Drive. Leads used the KTR and the D&M into a Seymour Duncan Vapor Trails.

Verse 1

come on lets go get on with it

no more delays

the evidence just seems to fit

that famous turn of phrase

‌

Chorus

I don’t see

a better way

There is no

more yesterday

‌

Verse 2

You cannot keep avoiding me

I can’t escape

They’ll come a time when you will see

All of my true mistakes
