I Should Call My Parents More

Liner Notes
#alternative #rock #indie #livedrums #drums
Woof. It's been almost a week since I uploaded a song! Gotta get going!! Anyway. This was fun. Live drums. 4 mics. Several takes but I didn't end up having to do any comping to get something half decent. Let's go!
Otherwise it's like 3 electric takes, an acoustic, bass and a single lead vocal and 3 background vocals. Pretty simple. No time to flesh it out anymore and I kinda think it works decent enough as is. Anyway, onto the next!
Lyrics
time isn’t really kind to anyone is it? not when it comes to relationships people change move away stop breathing call less than before life gets in the way i should call my parents more
a quick story about my mom home for some kind of holiday bourbon still in our veins the smallest tupperware you’ve ever seen had us belly laughing literal tears in our eyes i need to call my parents more
at least we wanted to try and you did too i should call my parents more
something you should know about dad if you’re gullible at all, you’re toast fun on vacations records in the basement he’ll talk to you for hours i should call my parents more
at least we wanted to try and you did too i should call my parents more

In my world, this would be an indie classic. Would download if the button were there. My favorite of yours this FAWM.

This is a great example of a classic alternative track, from the layered electric guitars down to those live drums. And the nostalgic lyrics are a nice touch, unexpected but lovely. Great job!

I love the way the sentiment of yhis song is in opposition to the style. Loved listening to the easy nostalgic feel.

Damn, this is great. I love those guitars. The drums sound great. The lyric almost hurts how accurate it is.
