There’s this song I’ve written about 2-3 years ago.
I loved it back then, because I felt like I’ve came out of a writer’s block at the time, and that I’ve written something that could easily get on some alternative rock charts. Also I found the lyrics to be above my usual level (and we kind of identified with them, my girlfirend and I).
But nowadays the song had grown for me - as in „feelings” - because it’s actually the only song I’ve written, where my ex-girlfriend can be heard playing.
I’ve always encouraged her to play music, because I thought She really had talent, especialy for drums and guitar. But She just went on to have a couple of lessons, and never actually followed the path.
Anyway, this song was collaged out of a Jam I once had with her. She plays the keys and I’m playing the drums. Later on I took that dictaphone recording and over-dubbed bass, guitar and vocals.
I asked her to also over-dUb her vocal, but She refused (She always thought She had an ugly voice for some reason).
Now that we’re done, this is the only musical artefact I have of her.
Which is a weird feeling.
Well, nevermind. Here’s the tune (forgive me the raw mix, I wasn’t very skilled at that those three years ago):

Anyway, I was wondering what do you guys think of the track
There’s just four chords in the entire song. These being Amin(1st inversion), C, Emin (2nd inversion) and standard Amin
The lyrics are kind of „Satisfaction” 2.0, for the XXI Century
No one needs my vote
No one needs my work
No one waits for me at home
And yet everyone is telling me
I should be Satisfied at every time
And everywhere
In TV
And the papers
Just one message shines
„You should be Satisfied!
You should be Satisfied!”
People so many
Ideals so few
When will someone show the way?
How come people don’t grow tried of this world
Don’t they know it’s not the sixties anymore...
Don’t they know it’s not the sixties anymore?
„You should be Satisfied!
You should be Satisfied!”
