No Imagination - remixed by Bapu 29th April

[daryl1968]

Hi folks

This one is out and out punk pop fun - Ed and me threw it together in a couple of days all told. Had a lot of fun with this one

The current Mrs Daryl1968 makes a brief appearance on this one

Lyrics below link

Nits and crits welcome

No Imagination
Written and performed by Ed Kocol and Daryl Greenway
With backing vocals by Liz Greenway
Verse 1:
Always been a simple man
Doing right, the best I can
Eat, sleep, work. Well, that's the plan
Never gone beyond a white work van
Prech
Fancy cars are not my style
I'll never walk the miracle mile
I've aways been a simple guy and
I guess that's why that I've stopped tryin
Chorus:
No imagination
Happy with my station
All I wanna do
Is share my love with you
It's been my foundation
no imagination
All I wanna do
Is share my love with you
Verse 2
Always been a simple soul,
Day by day I play my role.
From dawn to dusk, I toil and strive,
In that white van I come alive.
Prech
Chorus
Bridge:
I don't have to think at all
Never been against the wall
My world changed because of you
I'm gonna see this through with you, with you
Chorus

You do very good pop songs. I'm wondering if I hear some overall distortion on this, are the levels too high or am I?

[Rikfr]

Hi Daryl, catchy, poppy tune, well done.

rhyming guy and with tryin'; cleaver! another ?'s

And a key change as well - what's not to like ? 

Great tune and I agree about the rhyming of 'guy and' with 'tryin' - as Tom observes - very clever indeed.

I loved it - the attitude, tone, harmonies, hand claps and a modulation that works.  It made me think of a video I found yesterday.  It was of John and Yoko and a bunch of kids looking at the construction of a new house they were going to buy in the country near the water.  This song would perfectly fit the mood of that video I think - at least I can see it all coming together in my head!

You're on a roll!  I love the subtle backing vocals that Elizabeth did in this.  Keep 'em coming!

[Old Joad]

Cool song, great upbeat groove??

Thanks KS. It's a misspent youth. 

There is a ton of distortion and nastiness everywhere on this one but I don't believe there's any clipping.

Especially on that gnarly gbass. ?

What an absoflippinlutely great pop song.  The lyrics are great and tell an interesting story, and the melody/music is infectious!

Another great one guys!

[Bajan Blue]

Hi Daryl and Bapu

Great song - loved it and really enjoyed the listen - thought the mix was spot on

real Cool

Nice pop song, well sung mix sounds like an Ed job, is it just me being picky, probably snare seems a little forward.  

[Bapu]

Daryk, turn up the bass. ?

I never payed it much attention...

till you said something!!

And I agree. But just by a tad. 

 

 

Great song overall. Well produced and played. Singing was very good and up front. Except for the snare that I can't un-hear now!!! : )
