Uncommercial Album
Liner Notes
Decided I was going to write something and then record the demo solely with instruments I was playing by hand. No drum MIDI, no Superior Drummer; no sequencers; no VST synths. Just #acousticguitar, #electricguitar, #cowbell (hooray for #cowcore!) bongos, claves, tambourine, shakers, hand drums, and my Fender Jazz Bass.
I'm planning on this being the title track for the album I will be releasing this week for Bandcamp Friday.
Lyrics
This song's completely uncommercial
The lyrics barely even rhyme
If I could make it slicker, I'd have done so
But I don't feel like cheating with AI
(I see you're in to marketing.
Let me tell you how this goes:
Call my work 'nice product'
and I'll punch you on the nose.)
I've made an uncommercial album!
It's quite impossible to sell!
You'll notice I don't sound trimphant
All my other albums are as well!
And yes, I understand that one could argue
I missed a trick by sticking to 4/4
It's not the only signature available
And others might deter a purchase more
I see you've not proposed I make this catchier
So you can play it on your phonogram
You might believe my work is irredeemable
Quite frankly dear, I do not give a damn...
Comments
So catchy.
Really excellent lyrics here for sure.
Effective approach with the "hands only" thing; sounds great.
Nice full headphone mix, as usual.
Great "phonogram/damn" rhyme.
Lovely bass line.
