Paul Bush

Hi chaps well this is a pre-mixdown warts and all song about old aged love (myself included being now 67 years old) as always all comments are welcome , cheers paul https://www.bandlab.com/track/789d4683-8e05-ef11-aaf0-000d3aa5105b?revId=779d4683-8e05-ef11-aaf0-000d3aa5105b 1. You came at me like on a southern rain, a tornado and a freight train You looked like you had nothing to loose, worn out make up and Worn out shoes.. You hit the jukebox started dancing to some rythum ` n blues …...... Now that cant lose...... Chorus Yo u—oH Oh-Oh you got nothing else to loose And I -Aye Aye --- I could see it in your eyes Take a seat right next to me, Please dont look at me too deep Ive some scares I´m hiding from, maybe you pull me through the rain 2. You came to me on a summer breeze, just like an infectious disease Sweet and sour and firery hot, she`s got a a few miles on the clock We got the the motion , the pills and potions and its time to rock not gonna stop !... Chorus (G) (Em7) (F) (D) And we`eh weh-weh you got nothing else to loose Take it ea— easy Its the path that we can choose Take a seat right next to me, Please dont look at me too deep We got some scares We`r hiding from, Guide me through this storm and through the rain ….Bridge..... It feels like our time is running out, so many empty hour`s in a day Watching T.V. Shows how to find Mr right, or maybe even fall in love Or buying love potions from medicen man, Who doesn`t give a dam Its better than being alone all alone..... on a make believe or a dating show, ...Solo.... Chorus And we`eh weh-weh you got nothing else to lose Take it ea— easy Its the path that we must choose Take a seat right next to me, Please dont look at me too deep Ive some scares I´m hiding from,Guide me through this storm and rain …...(C)-(G)......

Once again I´m humbled by all the really nice comments Ive received , Ive been very busy of late and not getting into my studio very often , and not checking out all of your songs as much as I usually do , so I am really grateful .... slowly the summer will be upon us and i´ll be off a- wandering , hiking up and down the Austrian mountains , to keep healthy cheers Paul bush

Hi Jeff , thanks for commenting, up until now Ive always recorded the acoustics direct more through laziness than trying to get a good tone a good friend of mine always complained that i should mic up the guitars , My Takamine sounds great through a desk for ``live work´´ but is let down for recording ( muddy ) anyways I took some time with this recording and miked it up then panned up left and right , to be honest its more luck than judgment cheers paul

Hold on Andy here´s another one from my hit unrequited love song ``Watching you ´´ (hahaha) `` even in a two dog race I wouldn't make second place ´´

Thanks Andy only very occasionally I manage to surprise myself, although I do try , cheers paul

Great bit of rock .. and nothing is straight forward as far as your super music is concerned great guitar tones

Its marvellous what a cheap bottle of sangria can do ....cheers for commenting... paul b

So I twiddled around with it and re did the solo and backing vocals outro and thats about it cheers ...as always all comments are welcome

Really super acoustic sound , love that song , Have you though of de-tuning the guitar a step down , when i play live I always do takes the strain out of it all .still a great song cheers p

Thanks Steve, so its just ``It´s horses for courses ´´ I must admit that i stumble with my English at times as i`m a Brit who lives in Austria (thirty years now) . one of my writing tricks (don't tell anyone) is slipping in a well known saying - proverb into a chorus so it stands out ,. I´m a riff artist and i write from a riff or chord sequence , mumble along until something happens then comes the text , cheers P

Hi Steve , reading the lyrics before hearing the song that must be like reading a book before seeing the movie? a really unusual way of doing things but I´m going to give it a try you must get a completely different perspective of how the song is going to be , this throws up more questions than answers , are you often disappointed with the song ? films are rarely better than the written word , thanks for commenting cheers P

Well thanks guys for all the nice comments , to be honest this is almost finished , Ive re-recorded the solo and a few bits n pieces here and there and the fade out , as far as quantizing is concerned , i try and keep time with ezdrum (toontracks) patterns , This was a funny one to write I wasn't overly keen on it in the first place..... then I did some re writes and cut bits out etc etc and got in too deep to bin it ..and then adding piano strings , tambourine,shakers and an accordion of all things ..i think i´m running out of idea`s..... thanks once again..P

Didnt expect that tempo change, love that , keeps us on out toes . lots in there thanks for this one , very clear , fresh production . cheers p

Hi so this is a pre mix down of The party girl , so much has been in the media about mental health issues so I thought Id`jump on the bandwagon and join in all comments are welcome https://www.bandlab.com/track/98571a8d-b4dc-ee11-85f9-6045bd2e11f9?revId=96571a8d-b4dc-ee11-85f9-6045bd2e11f9 Intro The Party girl paulbush As the footsteps disappear into the night Cold dark rain, stung her eyes as they waved goodbye Silhouetted by the street lights, as the cold wind bites.... The sound of breaking glass and the smell of closing time, Drowns out the clowns singing a song from years gone by, turns her back into the shadows and the blackness of the night.... of the street light Chorus And when its raining, its really pouring , And when she`s crying she´s really sobbing And when she`s hurtin, She`s hides it deep down inside and sigh`s Depression comes and goes , pull down shades Sitting all alone Chain smoking her time away Turn off the lights and stay in bed crawl away The phone rings and it frightens her half to death Pick it up make your excuses, put on a happy face Tell a joke... and, play to the crowd.... thats her saving grace ChorusAnd when she`s laughing.... she`s really screaming, And when she`s drinking.... she`s really steaming And when she`s happy.... Whats she`s trying to hide( ….... deep inside …....solo....... Even in a crowd she always feels alone (D-) Counting up the hour`s, days , and minutes just to get back home To her private sanctuary , with its own dark space to roam She´s walked this road alone so many times Dogs barking, sierens howling, as the church bell chimes Reminds her the that city is still fast asleep chorus outro

Thanks guy`s for the positive feedback I´ll be doing a re mix at some stage that 2nd chorus slipped through the net , like i said I´m a bit angry at the world at the moment just when you think it cant get more silly it does .....once again thanks for replying P

Hi Chaps here`s an angry song , Shout it out ......paulbush Intro Shout it out from the rooftops, Write it on a screen Shout it out from the mountains, Put it out on T.V. Cant keep this inside of me,I´m Gonna drink myself drunk They`re playing hide and seek, now it`s their time to run Time to take to the streets, Wave a flag in the square . Every man woman and child, We´v had all we can bear Well we see youre getting nervous now, a cracked smile cant hide the facts and figures ... When the walls come a-tumbling down , All their friends have gone to ground Chorus We put our trust in you, all that we got in return was the same old excuse.. Jobs for their parliamentary boys, making all the right noise.. and getting drunk on expenses ... Incompetence is a way of getting ahead Sitting on an insider board with all your lobbyist friends

Barry I love your vocals as always, you got so much character in your voice , great song...... too long ? I think a soaring guitar solo wouldnt go a miss not too busy .. but what do I know ..cheers

Always good to hear your stuff very pleasing , good song great vocals

Yep loved this , I can only concure all the above comments cheers P

Got me reaching out for my 501`s.....lots in there ......super production

Yeah i really liked this one , some great guitar playing , the drums did a great job must have taken a lot of programming , I really struggle with EZdrummer 2 never bothered to upgrade to 3 .. great stuff cheers P

Great stuff reminds me a littel of the snow goose by Camel at first then ..a bit of alan Parsons all in a positive way lovely guitar tones that les paul came out so smooth with some great licks ..whats not to like .. loved this .cheers P

Bloody loved this , sounded so fine , Oh so polished , loved the rythum changes within, kept me on my toes had to listen to it three times and still wanted more so sweet this was so special cheers paul

Thanks Freddy , this one has certanly hit a nerve , I do sometimes try to write songs with some substance , there is so much inequality and suffering in our world , we can become so desensitized to it all thanks for commenting ..cheers paul
