Paul Bush

I think all the sounds are a bit in yer face , that said its  beautiful, it meanders on and on and as bjorn said it needs a recuring theme , but it still sounded great, lovely instuments ,

Well thanks for all your comments , I put quite a few hour`s in and well added new vocals , bridge etc never imagined i´d get such a positive response to this one as i binned it almost as fast as i wrote it .... so thanks for the support....

                                    Suburban Susan         by paul bush

She goes on every demonstration not just for the cause, it beats being alone,

she straps herself to the mast, to hide her dubious past,

While your new friends are stuck to the road …

Well you’ve been telling lies about your family ties you

don’t come from a broken home, Well she`s you’re a semi detached                                   

Aristocrat, dressing down for her gig on the road   

chorus

Well they can Sing ***** by jaaa on an old guitar, 

untill the ugly girls red In the face , Well you can all   

lock all  your arms, outside those factory farms. saving the human race.

           

Well they can Sing ***** by jaaa on an old guitar, 

And strap yourselves onto the fence, well wave your

banners high, next to the guy who reeks of pertuly oil and incense                                       

 

 Well the kids left home now your all alone, And your man´s got much better things to do

 well you’ve re-read all your books , and now your fading looks are  staring in the mirror at you ..

 If there’s just a slim chance, a whiff of romance,

 When loneliness gets to you,  Well just fantasy, but it

 might just be the right thing to pull you on through,

chorus                     

 Well they can Sing ***** by jaaa on an old guitar, 

  and the pudgy girl still getting no breaks

  Well she´s coloured her hair , more times than cher 

   And screamed slogan’s  till she`s blue in the face

Bridge

 She`s never been noticed for being a woman,

first time she`s felt part of the ``in´´crowd, now she cries out loud..             

                                    …..solo…...

Chorus                               

Well they can Sing ***** by jaaa on an old guitar, 

And miss piggy is still up for grabs and all the feminists smiled

with their adopted child And the vegans have eat all of the cake

Well they can Sing ***** by jaaa on an old guitar                     

In the hope of being on t.v

Well they marched just a mile, with their self-righteous smiles                                                          

Blowing whistles and tambourines

Well they can Sing ***** by jaaa on an old guitar, 

We´ll meet up back at the bar Switch on the BBC is it you is it me?

Just like daytime tv star

                                                       

 

Thanks Bjorn , I never know if the songs i write are good or not , I try and do something different sometimes it works sometimes not and i think ``Flint´´ was one of those where  the message was more dominant than  the song  so i think i was pleased with that one......... doesnt happen very often cheers

Great vocals , and i love the harmonies right up my street this one well worth completing 

Oh well! at first i thought ??? but i slowly fell in love with this song so much in there, bloody lots of everything, very very clever musicaly brilliant well bloody done I´m jealous cheers

My dog (pigpoo) died at the weekend so i started writing this, he would have been 14 and had a good life. I agree i should finished it now iv'e started, i wasn't sure at the time. The idea is there to build from and i have some ideas, thanx Lynn 

Sorry to hear of your loss ..you must be devastated , our baby cat died 2 months ago our hearts are still breaking  , wish you well

Hi whoisp , yes its  well worth a bash loved the piano chord changes , run with it ; i  wrote a song in the summer (2-3 days) I thought it wasnt up to much , went back to it last week and  re-worked it , and Ive almost re recorded it all once again and it now sounds fine so one can never tel,l but that what you have so far sounded more than fine  well worth staying with cheers P

Great production I´m envious of the sublime guitar playing , well the whole thing really 

Great guitar tones and of course playing just really great stuff

Hi supareells cheers , well yes the ending is just me being silly It wont be on the final song , I thought it would cheer us all up after all the bad news going about . another one of those songs that slowly evolved 4 chords and some cheeky text  thanks for commenting cheers P

Hi chaps , I wrote this one back in the summer where in the UK demonstrator`s were glueing themselve to Tarmac, Trains, and other objects to save us all , Its a work in progress ..so all comments are welcome , Its a song about a housewife who goes on demonstrations to pep up her life( lovelife) to meet like minded people to hold hands and sing in harmony and in the process to save us all , and at the end of the day if she gets a ................ well then thats a bonus then its back home to surburbia and wait for the BBC news ..cheers

 

 

Hi chaps , well i took onboard all the good tips and comments so thanks for all your input ,Its been renamed ``the only one´´ with a new cover to reflect the new and last mixdown , Ive left in one or two vocal idiosyncracies to keep it live and not midified (that rhymes) any comments would be welcomed cheers P

 

I´m not a technical guy at all so i leave all that type of stuff to the others but I really like the riffs ,chord changes and the overall mood of the song  I´m not sure where you want to go with this if your adding vocals or not but its pleasing  and could be a backdrop for a film, tv thing, an Irish scene old town with windswept bogs ..I´m going on a bit but you get the gist 

Phew !! wow !! took my breath away ..

I had a portastudio way back when really helped me with my songwriting shame i didnt have one earlyer when i didnt have anyone to play off great song bye the bye cheers

Another great one Barry loved the guitar tone as usual  cheers

Hi David just had another listen to make sure i was right the first time i commented ..... Yep...just a briliant piece of music thanks for sharing

Hi David I´m sure I,ve mentioned this before but your compositions always remind me of a couple of british film director`s Mike leigh,Ken loach , on some of their fantasic british social documentary films , way back when..... great stuff 

I concure with all the above ..and just great vocals ...super song

Yeah that was super  ,  great video , well done 

Yeah ripped my soul out this one ..just seeing a london cab in the first few frames was enough to set the mood have`nt been back for so long... way too long cheers great track P

 HI Mr wookie , every song you make i reach for my best headphones ( not the pink ones) sit back a let it take me on a journey  . great track loved the guitar  tones .. and lots of surprises cheers P

Yeah i believe every word as lynn says ,the vocals are stunning great job  cheers P

I´m more of a song guy than a production type of chap so i felt somewhat qualified to add my pennethworth ,vocals are really great and the harmonies fit really well seems a simple song but I lknow there´s a lot of hard work gone into that congratulations , excelent song very difficult pull off and you did it well cheers P

Hey Paul . . . another good one in the works for you here. Really enjoyed the vocals, lyrics, and especially that moody clean guitar in the intro part. Your overall mix so far is pretty clear, though, I really think a much rounder kick drum sound would suit this one, mostly in the intro part, high tac beater really stands out there. It seems like it's trying to sync with the bass guitar part, but bass is mixed quite low in comparison. You mention not being happy with your guitar solo, I thought melodically it works quite well, and maybe it will grow on you as the mix fills in around it more ? Had a few listens, you know I'm always a fanboy of your voice ! . . . and your guitar skills are no slouch either, I'll circle back in a bit as this one develops . . .

Thanks noynekker , Ive taken my time with this one , I`ve swopped out that bass drum and intro bass guitar Ive brought the piano`s up in the mix and generally mopped up bits `n´ pieces  ready to do a more smoother mixdown... I put that (grimsby docks) tune on the backburner , ready for a later date to be  worked on it needs a fresh approach  anyways thanks for your comments always welcome cheers paul
