I Wanna Be The One (Who Leaves)

by @mccannrs

Feb 6   pop guitar banjo vocals ocarina superskirmish leaving

Feast

Liner Notes

Threw this one together as fast as I could, and only did one full take for each part. The ocarina isn't mixed well, but beggars can't be choosers. I hope you all like it!

Instruments used:

Yamaha Classical Guitar
Rogue 5-String Banjo
A Cheap Ocarina

Lyrics

I'm so content with where I am
You've got a plan? I'll go along, it's not hard
No, I'm quite content
But every time, you get bored with me
You tell me that you got somewhere else to be

I wanna be the one, I wanna be the one
I wanna be the one who leaves
I'm telling you, I could make plans too
But that's not what I want to do
I wanna be the one who leaves

My friends tell me there's a show in town
And I'm not busy, I'm down to clown, let's see
Yeah, we head downtown
But when I'm about to say I'm ready to go
My buddy beats me to it, cause I was too slow

I wanna be the one, I wanna be the one
I wanna be the one who leaves
I'm telling you, I could make plans too
But that's not what I want to do
I wanna be the one who leaves

    Banjo!!!! I love it, such a great addition to this track. I really like how your vocals are mixed. Love the call out before the ocarina solo?!!? I love it, these extra instruments add a lot to a solid tune.

  • @rockstarsmd  Feb 8

    Love the chord changes... and the banjo arpeggio is killer. Who’s the ringer on ocarina?!?

  • @fonte  Feb 7

    Oh this is so cool!! This was a skirmish? Wow!! Love the double track vocal, or the effect. Melody is so strong. And I LOVE that chorus!!! So catchy 😀

  • @kathym  Feb 7

    I like the theme a lot and I like the melody and arrangement a lot. Good skirmish!

  • @amelea Feb 6

    The vocal melodies you come up with really groove. I like the idea of I wanna be the one (who leaves), unique song topic!

  • @nateger Feb 6

    I dig the doubled vocals - there's a cool vibe to that. Neat chord change in the second half of the verse. The banjo is a wonderful timbre. Loving that chorus - I wanna be the one who leaves. Beautiful singing and melody

  • @smudge  Feb 6

    Hey @mccannrs Like the vibe of this. Great banjo! Love the concept that you want to be the one who leaves. Cool idea. The chorus hook is really strong! Catchy work! Cheers, Smudgie

  • @jeffwhitmire47 Feb 6

    Nice twists in this with the melody going into unexpected directions, plus the addition of the banjo and ocarina!! Very nice!

  • @now Feb 6

    I thought I knew where the melody was going, but appreciated the first curveball at "bored with me". Banjo in the choruses is nice. "Wanna be the one... who leaves" is great. Very Beatle-y!

  • @writeandwrong  Feb 6

    I think that's why my ex was so angry during our divorce... he wanted to be the one to leave... well, I beat him to it. Oops! lol I love how the music keeps my ears tickled and content all the way through. Fantastic skirmish!

  • @coolparadiso  Feb 6

    very nice. great Vox, some interesting disonance in the chords , nice bit of Banjo as well! very cool

  • @lvgd09  Feb 6

    What a fun sound...every time you get bored with me....somewhere else to be.....I wanna be the one.....banjo I think....I wanna be the one, I wanna be....we head on downtown...when I'm about to say I'm ready to go my buddy....too slow....nicely done...one of the best I've heard from this skirmish...great job

  • @johnstaples  Feb 6

    Wow, this is really sweet! That Yamaha is sounding fine and that Rouge 5-string is, well, it is awesome! Really sweet use of the banjo in a non-bluegrass type song! I really enjoyed your vocal performance a lot. Awww hell, there is that ocarina! And it sounds really lovely! I totally love and relate to your hook...I Wanna Be The One Who Leaves...yeah, me too! Great work on the skirmish!

  • @sheamiejay  Feb 6

    The first part of the chorus is gold! Great 6 note phrase! Love the banjo and the ocarina too.

  • @unpronounceable Feb 6

    Ooo! I love how the banjo comes in at the chorus! And yeah, this feel wanting to be THE ONE who leaves. Mood. Really nice skirmish.
