One of the Few

Robert James

2026 RPM Challenge song idea number four becomes finished song number 11.

I almost dropped this one without finishing it. I somehow managed to really intimidate myself with it. The sections were so long and the melodies were busy and it was going to require so many words. Oh, so many words. After a few failed starts I was finally able to throw something together. It’s not terribly good, but I like it and I’ve actually caught myself humming the melody a few times. I’m glad I finished it.

All guitar parts are a Gibson Les Paul Custom into a Fender Bassbreaker 15. No pedals this year, just plugged straight in.

Verse 1 & 2
Creeping along under the skin
The evening lets the darkess in

So long good night farewell to you
Its over now what can you do

Pre chorus
It can’t be true
One of the few
It can’t be true
You are one of the few

Chorus
Like an after thought
History for not
Anything they want
We could all be bought

Break
Worst thing imaginable
Has come true
