Challenge: MORSE CODE

Liner Notes

This one is for the Morse Challenge. I have had the lyrics and the brief Morse message ready from the 2nd week of FAWM, but only today did I put it to music. The music more or less follows the rhythmic pattern of the Morse signal - which, of course says "Help".

The other way I could imagine this would be as a chain gang singing it as they broke up rocks.

Instruments: Three String Cigar Box Guitar (Mississippi plates) PRS Santana Electric Guitar Morse Code Recording

Lyrics

She said she wants help She wanted it Before the split She said she wants help

She said she can't cope It's all too much She needs a crutch She said she can't cope

She said she must quit Her soul is cleft There's nothing left She said she must quit

She says she will die She cannot face That other place She says she will die

I can see the chain gang too! I like the cool melody - very catchy. Toe tapping for sure! Good job!

Just sounds good. I can see the chain gang in the 'music video'. Gritty and gripping.

Very clever use of the morse code, I gotta say as well. But lets not forget about the melody and the atmosphere it creates. Very cool!
