Undertow - Original Freestyle
Today I played guitar for a little while. I've been trying to stay practiced. I am not sure if I will get a MFS post done this week, but I will try my best.
I decided to try out Soundcloud, because I have always thought it is pretty cool.
Sorry the vocals are a bit overpowered by the guitar. This is a matter of poor placement with recording. I have some ideas to improve the sound quality and will try them out.
This song is a bit dark, there is your forewarning.
Here are the freestyle lyrics that came to me while performing this:
--
every night I sit and think of things
Theres nothing rational I just sit and sing
Kind of feels like I'm in a dream
but if you can see what is in my mind
it is serene I swear its a dream
but sometimes I just sit and feel like screaming
and then I hear a little voice
it comes to me and it says
don't be caught in the undertow
knowing what you know
you'll never let it go
you know you cannot win
join us, go for a swim it's ok
they'll never believe you anyway
you're just crazy
it will never go away
so join us
so here we go again, fighting
if you only could see the demons I see
would you be able to sleep knowing the things
I see, the things I keep
is it a gift, or a curse?
you cannot unknow the things that you seek
and then the voice comes to me again and it says to me
you're caught in the undertow
with the things you know
you'll never let it go
give in and take a drink
you'll never let it go
you know the power and the control
you know how it works
you'll give in eventually
you can't unknow what you know
when you're caught in the undertow
you'll try to let it go
Welcome to the show
you're caught in the undertow
there's no letting it go.

Much love!

Oh my goodness it is a GIFT there is no doubt in my mind. You started with undertow as a sort of prompt? Awesome.
Thank you so much @owasco!
Yes sometimes I don't get to choose the musical vibe, and this was the prompt my mind gave me.
Everything else just flowed naturally. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
Thank you for always listening to my music, you're a great friend! <3
No but really, This was incredible. I have no idea how you did that. I would be hard pressed just to come up with the words, forget about the chords and the riffs and the melody and the musical structure. With you posting stuff like this, I hope I never miss a thing.
