Nothing particularly noteworthy about this one. I like it. I like the three part harmonies on the last chorus. The riff is okay, the stop/start section is okay. There isn’t much to not like here.
The rhythm guitar is a Gibson ES-335 into a Ryra The Klon and a Chicago Stompworks Blooze Maker and both a Fender Bassbreaker 15 and a Vox AC15. The lead is a Gibson SG Standard into the same pedals and amps.
Verse 1
if it should come again
you’ll never see the end
he’s gonna let you down
he’s gonna sell you out
Chorus
He’s trying to sell you something
He’s gonna lie to you
(repeat)
Verse 2
he did this to himself
he needs to be expelled
the way he sold our soul
he really has to go]]></description>

                                    <description><![CDATA[Not bad. Not great. Nothing special, but kinda fun. Super simple. The verse and the chorus are the same riff in different keys. I’m surprised how badly the vocal lags. It’s so far behind the beat you could fly a plane through the gab. I was originally planning to solo over the ending, but I liked the chunky rhythm guitar so much (it wasn’t planned, I just did it off the top of my head) that I left it alone.
All of the guitars are a Gibson SG Standard into a Ryra The Klone and a Chicago Stompworks Blooze Maker into a Vox AC15 and a Fender Bassbreaker 15. That was my plan for the whole November project but further down the line I’m going to swap the pedals for my big pedal board. You’ll see what we get to it.
Verse 1
and at the end of days will
you see the light
and when the world has gone still
come join the fight
Verse 2 & 3
If I were on your side would
you stay with me
together you and I could
just let it be
Chorus
Don’t let them tell you how the world should be
another voice will speak and then we will all see]]></description>

                                    <description><![CDATA[Normally playing in 7/8 time comes naturally to me. I think I might have been born missing an eighth note (get it? Hardy har har). On this one though, I wrote the bass part first and the chorus seemed simple enough. Playing the rhythm guitars though was a challenge. The rhythmic pattern threw me off quite a bit. I got the vocal part pretty easily but that surprised me a little. I thought it was going to be tough. The lead guitar though… that’s when it fell apart. I had a ton of trouble soloing over that pattern. As a result, this is the rare (possibly unique) case where everything about this song works for me except the leads. Normally the leads are the most fun. Not here though. I’m seriously disappointed in my playing. Outside of the leads, I really dig the chorus here. The rest of the song is okay too, but the chorus should be a highlight and thanks to the solos it’s not.
Yeah, I’m my own worst critic and all, but blah blah blah I’m mad at myself.
The rhythm guitar is a Gibson ES-335 Pro. The lead is a Gibson SG Standard. All tracks used a Ryra the Klone into a Chicago Stompworks Blooze Maker through both a Fender Bassbreaker 15 and a Vox AC15.
verse 1 & 3
what if I could tell you something
what if I could make you see
what if I could teach you one thing
what if I could set you free
Verse 2
keep in mind that he’s a liar
never spoke a word of truth
now you want to lift him higher
strike the match and light the fuse
Chorus
Give away
yesterday
there’s no way
anyway
Break
we had our say
now go way

Sure it uses the cliche of switching between major (G) and the relative minor (Eminor) a lot in the chorus, but it works for me and it actually feels almost… almost… like a hook (gasp!). I even stuck a little polyrhythm at the end as a sort of nod to last month’s project, but this time I turned it into a lovely, soupy mess. There’s a delay on each of the four tracks (two in 7/8 and two in 4/4) and the delay time is different on each one. That and the flanger were added in the mix.
Another reason I kinda like this one is because I went back to my main pedal board for all the guitar tracks. I tried to make myself love the bluesbreaker clone I was using on most of this month’s songs, but I just couldn’t and I had to move on. The Rhythm guitar, including the ending, is a Gibson SG Standard into an MXR Uni-Vibe, a Klon KTR, a Donner Yellow Fall, and both a Vox AC15 and a Fender Bassbreaker 15. The lead is the same guitar and amps but the pedal chain is the Klon KTR again and a Malaise Forever Black Lives Matter.
Chorus
Come see the future’s end
(repeat)
Verse
This is how we fall apart
Like a dagger through the heart
Verse
If you think this is a game
You are in for major pain
Break
end is coming
no use running
they are selling out on everything
No twist ending
its a scam
We can not believe a single thing]]></description>

                                    <description><![CDATA[This was meant to be a sort of throw away thing to stick at the end of the album, but now that it’s done I kinda dig it. I set up a drum loop and set up my delay pedal (a Wampler Faux Tape Echo 2.0) with a crap load of repeats and just started strumming. I put an actual drum part and a bass part on later and then had to figure out what else (if anything) to add. I noodled some guitar, some of which had another crap ton of delay repeats and a couple of vocal lines and… boom.
As throw away songs go, it’s not so bad.
The rhythm and lead setups were similar. They are both a Gibson SG Standard and they both went through both a Vox AC15 and a Fender Bassbreaker 15. The rhythm had an MXR Uni-Vibe into a Klon KTR into a Wampler Faux Tape Echo. The lead had an MXR Phase 90 in place of the Uni-Vibe and it only used the FTE at the end. Also, I turned off the KTR at the end as well. I never do that.
Take a look at yourself
do you like what you see
could you be someone else
do you get what I mean
No tomorrow
Nothing follows
nothing left but sorrow
no one talking
no one stopping
no one left at all]]></description>

                                    <description><![CDATA[National Solo Album Month continues with another ho-hum rock song with an overly drawn out ending. I almost like the chorus. Actually, I almost like the whole song. It’s just kinda… there. The ending was supposed to be a one bar phrase repeated for 32 bars but as I was putting down the rhythm guitar I just couldn’t go through with it. A little tweak to the guitar (octaves instead of root/5ths), a little three part harmony, and a little guitar noise with a rotary speaker effect (added in the mix as I don’t own a rotary speaker simulator and haven’t been able to talk myself into spending the money yet) and it’s broken up a bit. Not terrible. Not great. Just there.
All of the guitar parts are a Gibson SG into a Ryra The Klone pedal, a Chicago Stompworks Blooze Maker pedal, and both a Vox AC15 and a Fender Bassbreaker 15.
Verse 1 + 3
How did we end up like this
please tell me
Now is a good time to look
see if we can fix it
Verse 2
Know how to get to the truth
dig deeper
Go to the end of the line
see if you can make it
Chorus
you’ve dug a serious hole for yourself
there is no way to get out
they’ll all be coming for you just you wait
and you know what it’s about
Outro
We’re coming for you now]]></description>

                                    <description><![CDATA[A song called losers lose, written in November 2020. Will history know what I was talking about? Probably. Hopefully.
Sloppy, weak, plodding. I kinda like the chorus. I kinda like the break in the middle. I definitely like the harmonies at the end. That was something I did a bunch of times in my October 2020 project and I thought it would work here. Does it? Probably not, but I like it.
When I started this month’s project I was going to use one guitar, two pedals, and two 15 watt amps for everything. After one day of tracking rhythm guitars with my ES 335 I decided that my Gibson SG Standard needed to be played. I hadn’t shown it any love in months so I put new strings on it and I’ve used it on everything since. As for the pedals, I bought my first Marshall Bluesbreaker clone and paired it up with a sweet Klon Centaur clone. It sounds good, but it doesn’t really sound good enough. I made it into song #7 (out of 10, I hope) before I started changing things. This song is song #7. The rhythm parts and the two solos all followed the plan, SG Standard into a Ryra The Klone into a Chicago Stompworks Blooze Maker into both a Vox AC15 and a Fender Bassbreaker 15. The guitarmonies at the end swapped the Blooze Maker for a Wren and Cuff Super Russian. There are still two more songs out there that use the original pedal plan (songs #5 and 8). The leads on one (#8) and all of #9 and 10 will use the pedal board I use with my band. Why is this important information? It’s not.
Verse
You know how it’s done
come on and have fun
the end is coming
there’s no sense running
your time has run out
was never in doubt
you see this smile
its so hostile
Chorus
I can’t help smiling
to see you crying
goodbye to lying
Losers lose
The sun is shining
while you’re in hiding
there’s no denying
Losers lose
Middle Eight
running out of friends
face the bitter end
one last look around
end up underground]]></description>

                                    <itunes:summary><![CDATA[A song called losers lose, written in November 2020. Will history know what I was talking about? Probably. Hopefully.
Sloppy, weak, plodding. I kinda like the chorus. I kinda like the break in the middle. I definitely like the harmonies at the end. That was something I did a bunch of times in my October 2020 project and I thought it would work here. Does it? Probably not, but I like it.
When I started this month’s project I was going to use one guitar, two pedals, and two 15 watt amps for everything. After one day of tracking rhythm guitars with my ES 335 I decided that my Gibson SG Standard needed to be played. I hadn’t shown it any love in months so I put new strings on it and I’ve used it on everything since. As for the pedals, I bought my first Marshall Bluesbreaker clone and paired it up with a sweet Klon Centaur clone. It sounds good, but it doesn’t really sound good enough. I made it into song #7 (out of 10, I hope) before I started changing things. This song is song #7. The rhythm parts and the two solos all followed the plan, SG Standard into a Ryra The Klone into a Chicago Stompworks Blooze Maker into both a Vox AC15 and a Fender Bassbreaker 15. The guitarmonies at the end swapped the Blooze Maker for a Wren and Cuff Super Russian. There are still two more songs out there that use the original pedal plan (songs #5 and 8). The leads on one (#8) and all of #9 and 10 will use the pedal board I use with my band. Why is this important information? It’s not.
Verse
You know how it’s done
come on and have fun
the end is coming
there’s no sense running
your time has run out
was never in doubt
you see this smile
its so hostile
Chorus
I can’t help smiling
to see you crying
goodbye to lying
Losers lose
The sun is shining
while you’re in hiding
there’s no denying
Losers lose
Middle Eight
running out of friends
face the bitter end
one last look around
end up underground]]></itunes:summary>

                                    <description><![CDATA[Songs with long, drawn out endings that don’t quite relate to the rest of the song is kinda of a theme this month. This one fits that bill. It’s nothing special. I’m not sure if I like it or not. It’s going on the NaSoAlMo album, but if I were doing more than my usual minimum 10 songs I would probably drop it from the final album. As it is, I kinda like the cleanish guitar solo at the end. There are two tracks, one for each mic’d up amplifier. I put a quarter note delay on one track and a dotted quarter note delay on the other and it ends up sounding like a multi-headed tape deck… sort of.
All of the guitar tracks are a Gibson SG Standard into a Ryra The Klone and a Chicago Stompworks Blooze Maker pedal and then two amplifiers, a Vox AC15 and a Fender Bassbreaker 15. For the solo at the end, I turned off the Blooze Maker. Everything else was the same.
Chorus
whats the point of it
every little bit
whats the meaning behind it all
take the temperature
close the aperture
just so we are sure it won’t fall
Verse
nevermore
close the door
leave it all behind
anyway
you can say
watch it all unwind
Bridge
No escaping
no complaining
no way]]></description>

                                    <description><![CDATA[On the scale from crap to hit single, this one probably lands somewhere around B-side. I like the chorus, I like the bridge, I don’t like the verse which sucks since I used it three times. Oh well.
From a production inside-baseball standpoint, this broke one of my rules. No copy and paste for guitar parts. Vocals, copy and paste all day long. I didn’t sing this verse three times, I sung it once and pasted it to the other two sections. I’m not supposed to do that with guitar tracks though, but I did here. Where you hear the second chorus, it was originally a bridge and I replaced it while I was writing the lyrics and the melody. The bridge was supposed to be the chorus and vice versa, but I changed my mind. Like ya do..
Rhythm guitars were my Gibson SG Standard into a Ryra The Klone pedal and a Chicago Stompworks Blooze Maker and then into both a Vox AC15 and a Fender Bassbreaker 15. The lead is the same guitar and amp but the pedals are a Klon KTR into a Malaise Forever Black Lives Matter. The last solo’s octave effect was a Donner Harmonic Square.
Verse
give and take
goes both ways
for your sake
please don’t pay
the answer
is not sure
is slander
all you have
bridge
Two hundred fourty years just kissed goodbye
its bad enough to make the whole world cry
Chorus
I used to wonder how it would all come tumbling down
it would all come tumbling down
Now I know that I just had to give a little time
Just a little bit of time]]></description>
