We Always Know

This one is long. Much longer than it needs to be, but at the time it seemed like the right move. The chorus to this one came to me while I was watching TV with the family. I fear (hopefully wrongly) that I stole it from the background score of whatever we were watching.

There’s one little thing here that screwed up GarageBand in a big way. The chorus is a four bar phrase where the first two bars are in 4/4, the third bar is in 3/4, and the last bar is in 4/4. To the best of my limited knowledge, GarageBand doesn’t let you change time signatures. I beat this by making the four bar phrase a single bar of 15/4. It made the session drummer a little weird, and it was brutal punching in where the count off was 15 beats instead of four, but otherwise it got the job done.

The guitars are all ES-335 Pro, the amps are all Fender Bassbreaker 15. The rhythm used a RYRA The Klone pedal. The lead used that pedal and a Keeley Super Phat Mod.

Verse 1
Is this letting go
never felt so low
let my feelings show

never come around
never heard a sound
put me in the ground

I have to say
never felt this way
lost in yesterday
its a prison

a catastrophe
never let me be
whats it mean to me

Half Chorus
the story goes - its always moving
it goes to show - we always know

Half Verse
feel like giving up
its just all too much
don’t know who to trust

if you say to me
that it’s got to be
I will never see

Chorus
the story goes - its always moving
it’s moving slow - you’re disaproving
is this the way - that things are going
it goes to show - we always know

Break
know your right - tonight
Know the way - for today
pay the cost - you lost
all the same - just a game

Half verse quiet
Is this letting go
never felt so low
let my feelings show

never come around
never heard a sound
put me in the ground

Loving the groove of this one. And another really cool chorus. Don't worry about the length - I was expecting a cool guitar solo for that long... and I got it :)
