The Waiting

Robert James

2024 50/90 Challenge song idea number 56 becomes finished song number 54.

Apologies. I have no idea what happened with the vocals. I recorded them over a MIDI guitar track that I was using as a guide and it sounded in tune at the time but clearly was not because… gross.

Other than that, I kinda like this song. It’s not bad. The transition from verse to chorus is a little jarring but it’s okay to me.

The guitars are all Les Paul Custom and the amps are all Fender Bassbreaker 15 running direct into the audio interface. Pedals for the rhythm tracks are a Klon KTR into a Keeley Super Phat Mod into an MXR Carbon Copy Mini. The leads used a Wren and Cuff Tall Font Russian into the KTR and the Carbon Copy.

Verse 1 and 3
The give and take, too much
For goodness sake, No luck
I’m wide awake, star struck
Just need a break, some what

Verse 2
It’s good for me, I guess
We’ll have to see, no less
Just breaking through, can you
It’s so untrue, can do

Chorus
The waiting brings me down
I feel it come around
I never heard a sound
But still be patient
