There's Nothing Left

Robert James

The Record Every Month Challenge to record one song each month for the whole year isn’t stressful enough, so I upped the ante to be record a single every month. An A Side and a B Side. This song is the A Side for April. I like it… I don’t love it.

I further challenged myself to only record on my iPad this month and to use direct signals only. No speakers other than headphones were involved in this recording. I also limited myself to only gear I don’t usually use. Why did I put all these restrictions on myself? I don’t know, and I don’t care. I am likely going to put false limits on May too. What can you do, right?

The rhythm guitar tracks are my Gibson SG Standard into an Ibanez Tube Screamer into a Vox MV50. The leads are the same except for swapping the Tube Screamer for a Wampler Tumnus.

Verse 1 & 3

What do you want to do?
You have to think it through
There’s nothing left for you
So make it all come true

Verse 2

It’s finally come to be
If you could only see
There’s nothing left for me
Give it away for free

Chorus

It’s hidden underneath
In between
Sight unseen
It’s hidden for all time
By design
Redefine

Outro

It had to be you
It had to be me
