Calling

Robert James

Three down, 47 to go.

I like this one even though there is nothing to it. I threw the bass line together on a Friday evening. It was late and I wanted to get something down before I went to sleep. It was a simple little nothing.

On Saturday I put the rhythm guitars down and wrote a melody and some super simple lyrics. On Sunday I put the vocals and leads down and mixed it with a new pair of Apple AirPods Max that my step son let me borrow. Not sure how the headphones performed. I think they might be lacking in the high end. I need to listen to this on a better set of cans, or maybe actual speakers.

The song is super simple and required almost zero thought, but I like it a lot. It’s pretty fun. Not sure how that happened, but I’m glad it did.

The rhythm guitars are a Les Paul Standard into a Ryra The Klone overdrive pedal into a Fender Bassbreaker 15. The lead was the same with the addition of a Wren and Cuff Super Russian fuzz pedal in between the overdrive and the amp. The gain was set really low on both pedals.

Verse 1
Its a call
Its a call to you
Hear me call
Hear me calling you

Verse 2 and 3
And I sing
And I sign to you
Everything
Everything I do

Chorus
Calling out to you
Calling out to you
(I’m calling to you)
