Oh No

Liner Notes

#abcdefg #acoustic-one-take

I thought my last FAWM's ABCDEFG challenge song was all I had to say on the subject, but then this happened. I thought I was good to go until I realized I had forgotten the B, but I needed a bridge anyway, so B for Bridge it was.

Lyrics

What if you look around Notice there’s no such thing as solid ground Assumptions fly off with the wind Up in the air and they won’t come down again

What then??

As kids we believed what we were told But all that has changed now that we’re getting old I was a fool to believe in the norm Now there are no laws and the planet’s getting warm

Oh no

Take away the human constructs Animals are what we are Unscrupulous, opportunistic The only difference is we can play guitar

The future is not so bright Everything is changing, but maybe we’ll be all right Take it one step at a time, take it slow Because the truth is we don’t know what we don’t know

Oh no

"The only difference is we can play guitar" -> some of us are no different from animals, then! 😀

Lovely take on the challenge, Carley! Love the message at the end. An anthem for the current zeitgeist!

Great guitar sounds, I’d love to stretch my fingers like that. Song about hope? Or just self actualizing. Taking a look at the state of the world and the facts are confusing.

Love that rock out bit after the ‘oh no’. Very cleverly written. It is reminiscent of a Decemberists type song. Really cool!!

Wow. Nice work on the challenge. Good song regardless of it. Needs a few seconds of really obnoxious shredding on/after the word "guitar"
