Liner Notes
#cigarboxguitar #mandolin #banjo #altcountry #americana
Trying out the new salvaged attempt at a single course cigar box octave mandolin (or maybe just a 4-string CBG tuned to fifths? either way, it's a long story) along with the ol' copper resonator CBG with banjo tuning. Americana meets parenting meets Greek mythology meets the modern American tragedy.
Lyrics
It doesn’t matter what I say Nobody listens anyway The irony is never lost on me That the truth they’re blind to is a clear as day
I hate being right When the day turns to blight I could say I told you so but it’s no delight I hate being right
Sometimes I wish I couldn’t see How the pieces fit in assembly But were I a stone, I’d still be alone Cursed with this gift of prophecy
I hate being right When the dark takes the light The last chance for redemption is out of sight God I hate being right
I am ever-shooting, I am loud and clear But you go what you wanted It’s falling on deaf ears
I hate being right When all hope takes flight It’s all so simple, no real insight I hate being right
I hate being right When the day turns to blight I could say I told you so but it’s no delight I hate being right
Every day the doom is drawing near Warnings of destruction Falling on deaf ears
Super cool that you used a totally unique instrument to create this!! "Americana meets parenting meets Greek mythology meets the modern American tragedy" - love it!!
