Hittin' the Street

1 week ago by @kc_

There is no demo for this song.

Liner Notes

#metal #Folk #rock #poppunk This is super rough, still needs formatting but the parts/lyrics came and had to get them down, Think it could be sung from any perspective and would fit into almost any genre - Far from finished but like where it's going :-)

On rereading definitely Disjointed but still believe there's something here to work with.

Lyrics

Hittin’ the Street

V Guess, I’ll be hittin’ the street After you swept me off my feet Never thought I’d ever meet Somebody… someone like you

V You asked for my heart Held it up like beautiful art Thought this was surely the start Of a living, loving life with you

V My head bounced hard off the street When you took out my feet Never thought I’d ever meet Someone as twisted as you

V A nasty bottle of twisted tea So many turns you twisted me Beyond the Pretzel Logic of Steely D. Every joint was blown out

PC Leaving me no doubt

C? Blinded by bolt of love Staccato words strafe from above Saw me as hand and glove Crushed me into the ground Never coming around.

Outro – in a Free Form Jazz Odyssey Format – LoL! I felt the fall and Love changed to quicksand toes know no shallow end, now life is unmanned Heading off the rails Shredded all the sails Pulled out all the nails It's all falling apart you're gone disappeared in the dark No way of setting this right Close my eyes fade into the night…

Great start! Definitely worth refining... Love this: Love changed to quicksand No shallow end

I really love the raw energy and emotional honesty in this! "Love changed to quicksand" is such a vivid & visceral line! Very creative. Well-written, KC!

I like the twisted part too. Nasty bottle of twisted tea. That’s a great line. I think the chorus really works. So many good lines here really. Finish it up, it’s definitely worth it !

Definitely on to something here, a bit of polish and this shines. Particularly like the rails, sails and nails a love song with attitude.

I feel like this has exactly the kind of hidden meaning / nonsense appearing lyrics vibe that always makes the best and most memorable punk songs. What seems like just a bunch of words is actually deep thoughts, profound meanings, and killer catchy and memorable punk songs! Super cool job!

@sapient 1w

Yeah, there's such a solid poppunk vibe to these words. They just BOUNCE off the page! Pogo time!!!

@andrea 1w

I like the twisted idea here. This line is my favorite, "My head bounced hard off the street". Lots of rhymes to thrash out 🤘Needs some heavy music to bring it to life!

Andrea! Great to see you! Thanks for stopping by and reading "Hittin' the Street" Always appreciate your input! Heavy might be the ticket!! A little more "lyric lotion for lustre" and should be a go for rough demo!
