Please Dont Leave Us

Robert James

2024 50/90 idea number 24 becomes finished song number 20.

20 songs complete in 28 days. I would say I am on a good pace for finishing the 50 songs in 90 days challenge this year. It’s also 20 songs finished within the month of July (July 4th through July 31st) which means I did a double album by RPM Challenge rules. Nice.

The him that I don’t want to go is John Mayall. I wrote this when I heard he had passed away. I don’t like the idea of living in a world that doesn’t have John Mayall in it.

The guitars are all Les Paul Custom and the amps are all Fender Bassbreaker 15 and Vox MV50 Clean, both running direct output with onboard cabinet emulation. The pedal chain for the rhythm tracks is a Real McCoy Customs RMC10 into a Klon KTR into a Keeley D&M Drive. The chain for the lead guitar is a Wren and Cuff Tall Font Russian into a Klon KTR into a Seymour Duncan Vapor Trails.

Verse 1 and 3
Just what good will it do
It won’t ever come true
Just what good will it do
It won’t ever come true
I’m not sharing
What I’m thinking
Get what’s coming to you

Verse 2
It’s a stupid idea
That won’t ever come clear
It’s a stupid idea
That won’t ever come clear
Always taking
No replacing
Always something to fear

Chorus
I don’t want him to go
Can’t we have one more show
I don’t want him to go
Can’t we have one more show
I know it comes to nothing
I don’t want him to go

Bridge
Please don’t leave us
