BROTHERS KEEPER
This so-called "song" is really just a jam session that ended up having some words slapped together and a quick synth sax thing. The working title is "Brother's Keeper" but it could be "Going Nowhere" because this "song" doesn't go anywhere. It just repeats over and over. Heck, it started out as just a riff I used to set the knobs on my guitar amp.
But maybe that's ok, because the words are about drug addiction. So maybe the form of the song fits the subject matter? Anyway, it was fun, regardless..... I like the clav.
MIA Strat > Allums modded CS3 > Allums mod TS9 > Mesa 5.25 Xpress Clean channel > EVM15L > C414 and AT2035; Fender Precision bass, plugs are Sonik Synth II for the clav and B3, synth sax, EZ Drummer Vintage Rock kit, tracked in Sonar.
The road to nowhere lines up with temptations
Shadows selling potions smoke and oil
Get in line be the first one to the party
Never know how high would be the toll
High at night I’m blinded to the danger
Middle of the road is just a narrow bridge
Voice inside reminds me of my wager
A losing hand I always played again
One more mile to go I’m running closer
One more game to play gotta count me in
Steppin on the gas gotta get there fast I’m slowly
Catchin up I don’t know when it will end
Not afraid to die my brothers keeper
The only one fooling you has lied to me
The way we live belongs to resurrection
The Father gave His Son to set us free
Gotta let it go give the glory to the maker
Gotta give it all away take it down to none
Fall away from the chain nothing worthy can we bring
Let my life testify to the One.
