The Old Way is Over

Robert James

5090 Song number 11 out of 50.

I like this one. I am kinda enjoying it’s groove. Have you caught on to the gimmick in the lyrics yet? It’s something I want to do semi regularly this summer and I think this is the second song I posted that did it…

Have you figured it out?

Each section (verse/chorus/bridge, ect) is a haiku. Isn’t that a neato piece of useless information?

All guitar tracks are my Les Paul Standard through a Bassbreaker 15. The pedals for the rhythm tracks are a Ryra The Klone into a Malaise Forever Black Lives Matter. The leads used were the same except for the solo at the end which is a crybaby into the Ryra into a Wren and Cuff Super Russian.

Chorus
I’m not up to this
It’s too much for me to take
Overwhelming me

Verse 1 and 3
Its a door closing
Just plotting to shut me out
All done to myself

Verse 2
As the dust settles
and there’s nothing left of me
Everyone forgets

Bridge
Give me one reason
Give me one hope to cling to
Such a waste of time

Outro
Finding a new way
to hold myself together
The old way’s over
