Separate the Fiction

Robert James

This started out as song idea #3 and ends as finished mix 7 of 50.

I like the chorus here though it is a bit overly wordy and hard difficult to sneak in breaths while singing. That’s about all I like with this song though. It might be salvageable… Maybe.

The guitars are all Gibson Les Paul Standard into a Vox MV50 direct into my USB audio interface. Pedals on the rhythm tracks are an Earthquaker Devices The Depths into a Klon KTR into an Analog Man King of Tone. The leads used a Real McCoy Customs RMC10 wah into the Klon and the King of Tone into an MXR Carbon Copy Mini.

Chorus
Once you see the truth there is nothing more to say
Once you see the way things happen
You can’t get away from the meaning of it all
You can’t separate the fiction

Verse 1
Can you see inside
of my ruined mind
can you reconcile
what I left behind

Verse 2
In these trying times
we might quantify
The forgotten crimes
we personify

Pre chorus
Underneath
In between
Through it all
The unseen things
