FAWM: "Run And Don't Look Back "

Run And Don't Look Back

Liner Notes

And now, for something completely different. Just trying to lose the 6/8 blues. I think this will do it. A super fast one for the Songfight title due a couple days ago.

Update 8 Feb: Shortened it and cut some high end for my ears to stop bleeding.

Ammunition: Fender Modern Player Tele Squire Paranormal Stratosonic Squire Jaguar Bass Drums are samples

Lyrics

If you want to run away If you want to get away If you think that you can make it Gone without a trace

Don't think they will let you go Don't try to think 'cause you don't know Even if you try to leave You're stuck here in this place

It's a hellhole It's a hellhole It's a hellhole

Go ahead and pack your bags Don't covet what your neighbor has You can't take it anyway they'll never let you go

Misery loves company Misery loves company Misery loves company

If you think that this is bad Stuff that bottle with a rag Fill it full of gasoline Then try and light the fuse

Those in power want it all They'll make you beg then make you crawl Tell their lies so man times Say they have the proof

It's a hellhole It's a hellhole It's a hellhole

Go ahead and pack your bags Don't covet what your neighbor has You can't take it anyway they'll never let you go

Misery loves company Misery loves company Misery loves company

Run and don't look... Run and don't look... Run and don't look back

Watch out buddy, don't look now They're riling up the crowd They like to yell and cause a scene Then make out like a thief

If you think I'm telling lies then why are we all charged with crimes What would be their reasons if We were free to leave?

It's a hellhole It's a hellhole It's a hellhole

Go ahead and pack your bags Don't covet what your neighbor has You can't take it anyway they'll never let you leave

Misery loves company Misery loves company Misery loves company

This track hits from the start and never lets go, intense sounds, made for an audience chorus sing along!

@catmisgivings 2d

Really like the pounding beat and the staccato rapid-fire vocal delivery here!

@sierain 6d

I really like the drive this has! Fitting to the lyrics, the song doesn't let go, either.

@wynia 6d

All right, here we go! The fuzzy and fast paced almost shouty vocal is perfect for the style. I like the lyrics calling out the powers that be and sowing the anarchy seeds - it's very actual-punk (as well as post-punk). Doing everything in unison on "it's a hellhole" really drives that lyric home

@guatecoop 1w

Oh yeah this is great!! Hahaha! I wonder where this is! Your vocals match the music perfectly and I know this will be in my head when I wake up! Very well done!

@aeye 1w

this makes me want to run into a mosh pit and dance around. (probably a bad idea since I have glasses though) Mission accomplished here.

Oh yeh i love the pace in this and they way you almost spit the lyric out. Once upon a time this was almost the only style of music i listened to! You have to find a bit of anger or at least dissatifaction to get this right normaly! This is as good as most i heard then for sure!

Yessss!!! I love the pretty stuff you’ve been doing but I have been wanting some of this, you do it so well. Kinda gives butthole surfers a very LITTLE bit. Super production choices on this one.

@writeandwrong 1w

Ohhh This is would be relatable to many and it rocks! Fantastic groove. Superb write and performance. I have to say... I think this is my new favorite one of yours!! Keep up the amazing work! Hope you do something with this post-FAWM!
