FAWM: "Mishap"

Mishap

Liner Notes

Here's my morph of @erbaer 's "Mishap". I liked the lyrics of the original, so I wrote them on a sheet of notebook paper and cut them up, rearranging them to come up with my chorus and pretty liberally used other words and phrases in the verses. I thought this might not be enough so I added a lead guitar that sort of echoed his verse melody. The lyrics are sort of nonsensical but I grew to kind of like this one after embracing its sort of lo-fi vibe. Maybe I'll rework it sometime.

@lowhum is up next

Lyrics

Chorus: E-G#m-E-G#m F#m-G#m-F#m-B7 Verse: E-B-E-B F#m-A-Am-E

Verse 1: Feels like I'm falling off a cliff Sleeping underneath a busy bridge I might be in the line of the law

Feels like I'm living day-to-day No wheels to run, no silly games to play I might be underneath a sharp claw

Chorus: Take a mirror to the downtown traffic Rubber band till I'm outta light Pulled back, feels like a mishap And I'm probably walking miles tonight

Verse 2: Feels like I'm falling for a trap Stand oblivious while things collapse I might be sniped before it hits dawn

Feels like my vision's on the fritz The red light flashes, I can't handle it I might be played like I'm just a pawn

Chorus: Take a mirror to the downtown traffic Rubber band till I'm outta light Pulled back, feels like a mishap And I'm probably walking miles tonight

Take a mirror to the life you're living Rubber band till you're flying high Pulled back, feels like a mishap And you're going down without a fight

This is very well-crafted. I can hear how much fun you had with this one. Nicely done! I'm here for it.

This feels like the acoustic version of your favorite pop-punk bands biggest hit. Love the musical "garnishes." The lofi is indeed a vibe.

Wow this is super cool! I like the space to give the vocals, which are excellent -but keep the song going. You added piece by piece, each of which add to the intrigue. That’s some bass line going on! Yeah you did an awesome job!
