Don't Settle

by @kosch

Liner Notes

Sometimes, when trying to get a better handle on Logic, I will just start with a very simple progression, and see where it leads - simple is the key.

I was pretty happy where this one lead - and for those following my mic odyssey, apparently, one can use a tascam, as a straight into the DAW mic - it's quite hot though, and I didn't quite get just how hot - so there's a little clipping here. It was used on all vocals, and 2nd harp solo (because one is never enough 😆) Also - apologies of the 70's riff rock guitar solo... I had an empty slot, and rather than just cut it out, (or work out an intelligent solo...) I grabbed a fistful of fuzz... #blues #harmonica #selfhelp (of a sort....)

Lyrics

Don't Settle Sometimes, simple is the best Just three chords, honey, forget the rest. Wait a minute...I might need a fourth.. Ha! There it is...but no more!

Now, I'm not saying your life is a song, But, if you keep it simple, you can't do no wrong. Mind your business, but, protect your own. See that drama - just leave it alone!

Don't settle, Don't settle, Don't settle, never close that door. Don't settle, Don't settle, Don't settle, you're worth that and a whole lot more.

Now, I'm not saying your life is a song, But, if you keep it simple, you won't go wrong. Mind your business, but, protect your own. See that drama - just leave it alone!

Don't settle, Don't settle, Don't settle, never close that door. Don't settle, Don't settle, Never settle, you're worth that and so much more.

"Grabbed a fistful of fuzz" as an apology is ridiculous lol; I love it. Great song, fuzz and all! 👏 👏 👏

Cool harmonica and guitar. Nothing wrong with the driving guitar break either, sounded great. 😎
