about
This is a song that I recorded in 2012, at Audioconfusion Studios, co-engineered with Jalipaz Nelson. I played all of the instruments on this recording. I almost forgot to put it on the Album. It is one of my favorite songs, that I've written. Not my favorite song though... It is about little kids breathing poisonous air in the City.
lyrics
Chords, and Words. I start off on the 12th fret. I use the Octives, on most of the song. Good amount of a choppy delay, with my trusty "Little Big Muff", for when the distortion kicks in... the Progression goes, E,D#C#B,Amin,G#,F,E. You do this 2X.... Then you do the opposite, with this walk up: E,F#,G#,Amin, B, C#,D#,E. then the words and verses come in with
EEEEEEEEEEEEEE,D#D#D#,D#,C#C#
"Mommy who put the poison in the sky?""----Repeat chords and words 2x
EEEE,BBBBBBBBBBBB,AminAmmin,G#G#G#
"It Burns my nose, and it burns my eyes"
"Mommy who put the poison in the Sky?"-Same chord progression. Then it does the ealier walk up, at double speed. It does this fast walk up twice in the song.... But the last time it does it, it happens 4 times. Now i'll get back to the Words. The players can figure it out, from what's above...
After it says: "It burns my nose, and it burns my eyes."
"Mommy who put the poison in the sky?"
It goes: "Organize your minds, to escape dependence, from the
"Oil Machines"...."So the Children, can grow up to be
healthy"
Verse 2: "Dr. please my baby can not Breath! 2X
"She soaks up the particles like a sponge"
"She has them all kept inside her lungs"
"I'm sorry lady, listen to me"
"Your Babies, fatally sick, from the Air she breathes"
"She's coughing, and weezing all of the time"
(a faint voice says" Poor Girl")
"From Breathing the Poison in the Sky!"
"Organize your minds, to escape dependence, on the Oil
"Machines... So that 1 day, the children can grow to be
"Healthy"..."from the Oil, and the Coal, in the Air, that we
"Breath"... You have to turn your Back, and the Master's, of
the Economy!!"
