Give No Reason
Performed on Fender Mustang, Casio CZ-101 (keys, bass, percussion), vocal. Recorded via overdubbing on two cassette decks with 4 mono input radio shack mixer with radio shack 10 band graphic equalizer. Written in the years of Ronald Reagen’s presidency. The cold war was so inspirational. From the cassette album “If they get up shoot them again”.
I Give No Reason
I give no reason to live
If I’m here that’s as far as it goes
I have no wisdom to give
If you find an answer please let me know
I caught you looking
I can feel you breathing
I caught you thinking
I can feel you breathing
I can feel you breathing
See the clouds hanging over us
As far as I care they can blow us up
And the Russians can move right in
If they don’t mind the glowing dust
I caught you wishing
I can feel you breathing
I caught you dreaming
I can feel you breathing
I can feel you breathing
God this night seems colder than the rest
I turn to you in love and loneliness
I wish there were some flight from this mess
Don’t hear the words I say
They ain’t gonna matter anyway
I caught you wishing
I can feel you breathing
I caught you dreaming
I can feel you breathing
I can feel you breathing
I can feel you breathing
Great gear man. I remember those days. Your showing us your age :) Downloaded for my collection.....
I've lost count to the number of times i've listened to this . I love it!!!. Anyone got a time machine lets go back...... if i can find one does anyone want to come?
Quite a departure! Vocal reminds me of Space and Elvis Costello! Great track!
this is the shit, love the vocals and lyrics
Chris this is great, very catchy and the best vocals and lyrics I've heard from you yet. The Casio sounds great and I can definitely hear a touch of Bryan Ferry. Good stuff! John.
One hell of a song Chris!!
Chris, that I believe, is your best vocal performance so far.
Love it, great vocal a kind of Brian Ferry, feel, and that 6o's vibe excellent we should form the mutual appreciation society. Enjoying it ............. and the solo Yeah!... have mentioned the melody...........
