Blue

I came dangerously close to calling this ABACAB, and also to having the song form be ABACAB. Bullet dodged? I was noodling out the bass line and drum parts on my iPad and I had three sections. I couldn’t decide which one had the better hook potential so I just left them in order and then repeated them. ABCABC. That was pretty short and didn’t really make any sense so while thinking of what to do next I almost went with ABACAB. Instead it ended up more like ABCABCAAA.

The guitars are all Gibson Les Paul into a Fender Bassbreaker 15 amp. The rhythm only used a RYRA The Klone overdrive pedal. The lead had a Klon KTR, a Fulltone OCD, a cheap little delay whose name I forget, and a TC Hall of Fame mini reverb.

A
And I see you
where you should be
color me blue
Show me how to get through

B
I could tell you something
you don’t know
you could possibly bring
the get go

C
I see you
you see me
we’re together now
I know who
we each need
we’re together now
