No Deeper Meaning (2025 Version)

Robert James

Written during the 2020 50/90 Challenge (I think… wasn’t it?) and now re-recorded for Quarantine Tunes Volume Eight. The Great 2015 Re-Recording Project continues… forever.

We’re scraping the bottom of the barrel in a big way now.

The rhythm guitars are my Gibson ES-335 Pro into a Klon KTR overdrive pedal into my Fender Deluxe Reverb. Leads are the same guitar into a Real McCoy Customs RMC10 wah pedal into an MXR Phase 95 into a Wren and Cuff Tall Font Russian into the KTR into a Seymour Duncan Vapor Trails delay into two amps, a Fender Bassbreaker 15 and a Vox MV50 Clean, both running direct outputs with built in cabinet emulation.

Chorus
It should have taken some time
for all the songs to be sung
if everything is so fine
just sweep it under the rug

verse 1
I’ve got this feeling
you need some healing
nothing worth stealing
no deeper meaning

verse 2
it leaves me wanting
a better ending
something more hopeful
some new proposal
