Trouble

NSFWLiner Notes
Ahead of this FAWM, I was hoping to get a bit more experimental - and while that lasted a few tunes in, I soon reverted to type 😂
The other day I thought instead of dipping into my existing ideas folder, I should start completely from scratch - with nothing, no templates, nothing. Picked up an acoustic guitar and the main bassline you hear in this song basically fell out.
The rest of it almost wrote itself too. The synth lead was basically unchanged from my first take, before I even knew how it was going to go...
The mix is all a bit wonky, but fine for the demo. It's not the usual kind of thing I mix, so was a bit challenging...
Anyway, got a few other songs to finish this February, so, onto the next one... I don't think this one's a keeper. Not sure how it would fit with any of my other songs! And I'm no rapper.
Drums: SD3 Stockholm Bass: Minimonsta Synths: Odyssey, EZKeys, Minimonsta, UAD Minimoog Voice: Uses, among the usual things, Ovox and NI Dirt. Recorded on condenser, as opposed to my usual Shure Beta 58a.
Lyrics
i am not trouble i don't know where you get that from i'm not trouble, no
trouble, trouble, trouble
i am not trouble all i want is a firecracker class struggle
trouble, trouble, trouble
i am not trouble if you don't have a slave to do your bidding, no
i am not trouble if you don't own a corporation or a penthouse
trouble, trouble, trouble
trouble on my left, trouble on my right moderates are all parasites (a crime against nature) trouble on my left, trouble on my right middlemen should stay out of sight (a crime against nature)
i am not trouble and if you aren't then just admit you're a tankie
trouble, trouble, trouble
i am not trouble why do i have to keep repeating myself? i don't, but maybe?
trouble, trouble, trouble
trouble on my left, trouble on my right moderates are all parasites (a crime against nature) trouble on my left, trouble on my right middlemen need to fucking die (a crime against nature)
a crime against nature a crime against nature human against paper
i wonder who will come first
a crime against nature a crime against nature human against paper
i wonder who will come first
trouble, trouble, trouble trouble, trouble, trouble trouble, trouble, trouble
Love the slow marching groove that feels like a rising wave, approaching slowly. Nothing to worry about. No trouble, unless you happen to be... :-) Nice concept.
