The Enemy Within (s Us
Copyright (c) 2025 Edward Kocol

[Verse 1a]
Lookin' right in at me
It's the enemy within
We are born with a flame
And it's him we could've been

[Verse 1b]
So give the ghost to yourself
And to hell with all the sin
Oh we could just be someone else
'Cause the enemy within

[Chorus]
Is us, been there since the beginning
Our love, knowing we never win, it's
The enemy within is us

[Verse 2]
You could never ascend
From a place you've never been
Come on let me be your friend
'Cause the enemy within

[Repeat Chorus]

[Bridge]
Why oh why cant we see
The enemy is not you or me
Lets all be sisters and brothers
And not look upon us as others

[Repeat Chorus]

[Verse 3]
We can make it all end
Speaking plain as friend to friend
Brining back all we had then
'Cause the enemy within

[Repeat Chorus]

[Verse 4 - same as Verse 1b]
So give the ghost to yourself
And to hell with all the sin
Oh we could just be someone else
'Cause the enemy within

[Repeat Chorus]
[Repeat Chorus

Waiting for it to come out on free TV.

Rumor has it that it will come out on free tv in 2069 (100th anniversary).

Flipping through the channels the other day I came across a show called "Gibson TV The Collection". This particular episode featured Slash showing off his guitars. One 50s-era Goldtop after another. Plus, a sunburst or 5.
The host said, "there has to be a Fender in here somewhere" and pulled out a 1964 (?) Fender Bass 6. I'd never heard of that model before. A 6-string bass from way back in the last century?
Does The @Bapu have one? was my second thought.
Apparently, they still make them.

I had one (Epipjone version). Eye diinit liek et. Sold it.

Lennon played one in the Get Back series by Peter Jackson. If you saw it then you probably just registered it as a guitar.

Great work, congratulations, when the instruments are real, one gets a different pleasurer. I heard some pops and clicks entire the song, I guess overall gain might be 1 dB decreased if possible. Thanks for sharing with us!

Thanks for the listen.

When/if I get to remix I'll pay close attention to that.

Brave on Wookiee

In 1969, The Who recorded “Pinball Wizard” at London’s Morgan Studios. They’d go on to play the tune at nearly every concert since they premiered that track live in May of 1969.

In 1976, Paul Simon’s “50 Ways to Leave Your Lover” was number one on the American singles chart. 

In 1979, Stephen Stills became the first rock performer to record on digital equipment when he laid down some tracks at LA’s Record Plant Studio.

In 1994, Blind Melon singer Shannon Hoon assaulted a security guard at the American Music Awards ceremony after his band lost the award for Best New Artist to Stone Temple Pilots. Shannon was later charged with battery, assault, resisting arrest and destroying a police station phone.

In 2003, Courtney Love arrived at a benefit concert at London’s Old Vic Theatre dressed as “Donald Duck.” Later that night, she joined Elton John onstage for a version of “The Bitch is Back.”

And in 2004, Queen’s single, “We Will Rock You,” topped a poll of music fans to find the greatest rock anthem of all time. The band took second place too with “Bohemian Rhapsody.” 

1964 - Beatles arrive in America for the first time
1953 - The budding Am Bazz Note Aficionado was born .

Very well done. Very fine musicianship, songwriting, and performance.  I especially enjoyed the violin solo -- growing up loving Kansas,  that was right up my alley. Kudos to you and everyone involved. 

I also just want to make this additional observation.  Over the years I've listened to a bunch of different projects you've been involved in, and the playing is always really,  really good. Keep on rocking!

Thanks Peter (even though you're no longer here 🙂 )

We're frog hair fine here

However, there is no good reason to uninstall the old cbb. The footprint is quite small and its handy if you ever need to compare how something works as compared to the old version.

I see no reason to keep Cakewalk installed once you have decided to upgrade to Sonar. 
it’s sort of pointless to me.

He did a much better singing My Old School than I did.

 

Rumor has it the bass guitar was an Alembic (even though @craigb and @SteveStrummerUK won't believe it)

He did a much better singing My Old School than I did.

Studio One.  It's high time CW Sonar had a similar facility. 

Don't expect distorted guitars to be totally accurate.

Best is clean piano, acoustic guitar and maybe organ and/orr sting patches.

Not again, seems like only last year he had one.
