Not Safe For WorkLiner Notes
Song #1
I started strumming this idea on day one, but didn't really know where it was going. Once I decided I wasn't going to avoid the issues of the day, the writing came pretty naturally. Live demo. Not really feeling like messing around too much with recordings so far. Pretty rough, but spirited. 😀
Funny, I didn't check the box for Not Safe For Work. I guess the algorithm picked up on that.
Lyrics
Wait for it, don’t fall apart tonight
A missing duck in your row
Dominoes fall into the light
Picking up the torch
Begin, again
Dear God, if you’re there give me the grace
Breathe in, breathe out
Meditate and come back to the place
Of a real calm
Begin. again
My country never seemed so fucked
Spewing lies to fuel the fire corrupt
We’ve got an idiot in the white house
Who only cares about himself
But the laws are closing in as for me
I’ll wait
I’ll wait
God damn Fox News for what happened to our dads
And fed on the tit of Limbaugh
Yearbook loser comes alive to share his hate
Algorithms get paid
We've got an idiot in the white house
Who only cares about himself
But the laws are closing in as for me
I’ll wait
I’ll wait
(Don't wait)

I can see this playing during the opening credits of a documentary detailing the destruction of the fabric of American society. As a matter of fact, 'Letter to the Constituents' would be a great title... [breaks out seldom-used film equipment, microphone]. Great stuff.

It's great when you make a conscious decision to allow what you're trying to do to just happen. 😀 No matter the topic, silly, serious, etc.
Writing what you feel is a good way to get a song out. Well done!
"Yearbook loser comes alive to share his hate
Algorithms get paid" cool line!

I know how you feel about not avoiding issues of the day, I mean, why not? And with that, this one gave me a good laugh, it may just be as cathartic listening to it as it was writing it, thank you for that, nice start to 2019 FAWM.

Wow that is some powerful stuff. Really not hiding your feelings here and i concur. Incendiary, and direct to the point. I like your venom and honesty. I will wait too. a reckoning is coming. Good to hear you coming out of the gate swinging!
