Rescue Me - SludgeMetal Version
Liner Notes
I was browsing @ajna1960 's lyrics, and I heard this one really growly... so, I threw a note over the wall about running with it - I didn't hear back....so, that means she didn't say no... ๐ Anyway - I couldn't get as growly as I wanted, probably should have raised the key, and I don't know how to play metal guitar licks/solos... so, this is where ended up. The lyrics are awesome - if you don't like this, it's on me...
And, Amanda - if you don't want to be associated with this sludgy thing, let me know, and I'll drag it down. (add 7 more guitars and call it an instrumental... ๐)
Amanda says: Well that was a surprise ! But I really like it, and it's not how I would, or could, have ever imagined hearing my words ! Although I have heavy metal etc songs out there about Zombie Dolphins (that was another FAWM gem) Thank you @kosch :)
Lyrics
V1 Deep inside my skin I shiver Loading on the pain and dread Self induced and up the river I don't want to have to beg
Pre Ch I don't want to be this way Don't wanna live through this decay
Ch Rescue me, please rescue me I'm never going to do it myself Hold me up, please hold me up Because you know there's no-body else
V2 There's so much of life I'm missing There's no way to climb the sides Feel I'm only quasi living Through blue days and blacker nights
Pre Ch I don't want to be this way Don't wanna live through this decay
Ch Rescue me, please rescue me I'm never going to do it myself Hold me up, please hold me up Because you know there's no-body else
V3 Through the rain I see the rainbow But there's no feeling anymore Everything is as a photo An' the wolf waits at my door
Pre Ch I don't want to be this way I Don't wanna live through this decay
Ch Rescue me, please rescue me I'm never going to do it myself Hold me up, please hold me up Because you know there's no-body else

Digging the vibe here. Proper sludgy rocking energy in the best kind of way. The low gravelly vocals are really commanding too, definitely an Iggy Pop kind of feel.
โFeel Iโm only quasi living / Through blue days and blacker nightsโ really hits hard. Strong, heavy lyric to match the sound.
I remember really liking these lyrics, and as soon as I heard the groove I was like, "Oh yeah, this is gonna work." The bluesy, sludgy treatment totally works! Glad you brought these excellent words to life! This is what FAWM is all about!
