Too Late Too Little (Version 2.0)

Robert James

Another song for Quarantine Tunes Volume 50/90. I finished off the 2021 50/90 with a lot of crappy songs and a handful that I thought were worthy of a closer look. This one is fun. Nothing like bashing your head against some nice heavy rock, am I right? Even the lyrics to this one are almost okay.

Version 2.0 is a little faster than the original from the summer, it might be a smidge heavier too, thought not by much. I also clipped the ending a bit and I kinda like it better this way.

The guitars are all Gibson Les Paul Standard through a Fender Bassbreaker 15. The pedals for the rhythm tracks were a cheap little Joyo Vintage Phase (just at the end) into a Ryra The Klone into a Keeley D&M Drive. The lead was the same except it swapped the D&M for a Wren and Cuff Super Russian.

And I am caught in the middle
and there is no way to free myself
Its all too late and too little
The party’s over for me

(last time only)
There is no simple solution
though every step is so clear to me
Its gonna end in confusion
and so it always will be

B1
There’s no easy way to say
The things that we need to say

B2
There’s no easy way to do
The things that we need to do

C
I can see where it will lead
Just one way we can proceed

C Prime
What I said
Can you all see it
In the end
It will all come true
