Gloom

Robert James

This was the 12th song started this month and it’s the 14th song finished. It’s important in that it officially makes me a winner for FAWM this year, but it’s unimportant for the RPM Challenge as this puppy goes straight to the dropped song list. Like, with a bullet.

I intended this to be a gloomy closer for the album but ended up writing a similar song that is more or less the same in every way except that it’s better. So a dropping we will go.

The rhythm guitar is fuzz and the lead guitar is clean(ish)? It’s mass hysteria!

All of the guitars are a Gibson ES-335 Pro. All of the takes had two amps, a Vox AC15 and a Fender Bassbreaker 15. All of the takes also used a Ryra The Klone overdrive pedal. The rhythm tracks also used a Wren and Cuff Super Russian fuzz pedal.

The last days are here
Nothing’s ever been so clear
Keep your loved ones near
and keep them safe
keep them away from what is coming

hide away
final day
anyway
come what may
