So Long, Childhood

Robert James

My song writing happy place is sort of slow to mid tempo dumb rockers. Something like 75-90 beats per minute. Every once in a while I feel the need to shake things up and write something super hyper active. This is an example of that. I also sort of have a thing for trying to make 3/4 sound like something more interesting than boring 3/4. Again, this is an example.

The rhythm guitars are a Les Paul into a RYRA The Klone pedal into a Fender Bassbreaker 15. The leads are an ES 335 into a KTR into an OCD into the Bassbreaker. While mixing this I was shocked that I let lead takes as awful as these get through the QC process. Damn this are sloppy and bad.

Chorus
So far so good
So long child hood

Verse 1
I’ll let you know
When you can go
It’s moving slow
Take your sweet time

It comes around
It could be found
It’s gone to ground
This is mine

Verse 2 and 3
No giving in
Can’t let it win
It is a sin
See it my way

I’ll tell you how
The time is now
A sacred vow
Come what may
