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

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

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. ? 

It's my Epiphone Jack Cassady through my Sans Amp Geddy Lee GED 2112.

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.

Andy

Thanks so much Andy

snare seems a little forward.

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!!! : )
