My Forever Problem

by @dasbinky

Liner Notes

I really enjoy rocked up songs about poor schmucks addicted to toxic relationships. I do one or two every year. I've had the bones of this one sitting around for a little while, and I'm glad I could plow through to finish it.

This riff is stupidly hard to play at speed, there were many takes involved. I really enjoy add9 chords, but I have wee sausage fingers, so they're hard to reach. I even tabbed this out so I could pay more attention. See! It is really FAWM if you aren't transcribing riffs? (And it would be easier to play in root position, but why make it easy?)

I also really enjoy writing songs at the edge of my vocal range and then regretting it immediately. Thank you, Melodyne.

This got to use up like 4 or 5 different words / phrases / prompts in my idea pile, so that makes me happy.

Lyrics

VERSE Tantalizing misfit pixie Rainbow tattooed unicorn Any look from you and Magically I feel I've been reborn

We're horrible together Always bringing out each other's worst I pissed off your coven and I Think that maybe we've been cursed

PRECHORUS But I'll never quit you

CHORUS Complications, contemplations Knock away all my foundations Bottom of another drink I've stopped caring what I think I can really call 'em You're my forever problem

VERSE Manifested nectar dripping Calling out from every pore It feels like I should know better My body's locked in civil war

Drawn in like a magnet My breaths are held within your thrall Waste away our weekends Deep in wine, cocaine and adderall

PRECHORUS But I'll never quit you

CHORUS Complications, contemplations Knock away all my foundations Bottom of another drink I've stopped caring what I think I can really call 'em You're my forever problem

BRIDGE Self awareness haunting I wish I couldn't see The permanent damage That you inflict on me

Now sign me up for more Sign me up I re-enlist, I can't resist You're the only reason I exist now

PRECHORUS And I'll never quit you

CHORUS Complications, contemplations Knock away all my foundations Bottom of another drink I've stopped caring what I think I can really call 'em You're my forever problem

So well executed throughout. Nice reborn / unicorn rhyme in there too. Maybe I should start tabbing my guitar parts from now on.
