Did You Know

Robert James

2024 50/90 Challenge song idea number 35 becomes finished song number 23.

I like this one. I especially like the chorus. I probably like it because I’ve written exactly this same chorus over 100 times throughout the years. I like the start and stops and I like the simple little tempo change section at the end. Not bad, I guess.

The rhythm guitars are my Les Paul Custom into an Earthquaker Devices The Depths into an Analog Man King of Tone into a Seymour Duncan Vapor trails. The amps are both a Fender Bassbreaker 15 and a Vox MV50 Clean. Both are running direct output with built in speaker emulation. The leads are my Les Paul Standard into a Wren and Cuff Tall Font Russian into a Klon KTR into the Vapor Trails into the same two amps with the same settings.

Chorus
Let loose
Produce
Obtuse
let it go

No use
this truce
excuse
did you know

Verse 1 & 3
Keep smiling
keep fighting
we’re doing fine
Keep rolling
controlling
all in good time

Verse 2
One upping
on nothing
It’s worth a try
Just trolling
Unknowing
It’s time to fly

Outro
Like magic
but tragic
no reason why
dramatic
ecstatic
end with a sigh
