Muddied Waters

by @mace66

Liner Notes

Just an observational song about how crazy the world seems to be getting...

For those interested in the recording side -

Recorded on Cubase Elements Guitars used were an Ovation Celebrity DI'd into the DAW and a Squier acoustic recorded with an SE Electronics SE2200A condenser mic. Bass is a Squier PJ Bass that I swapped the pickups out for a set of active EMGs. Strings and horn sounds are from the Cubase HaLion library Drum sounds were from Cubase and played real time from a keyboard controller. Vocals all recorded using the SE Electronics mic.

Lyrics

My time, This should be my time, But those muddied waters, May not run so clear again...

Fine time , Oh what a fine time, As those storm clouds gather, Over everyone, Amen...

And only time will tell, Yeah only time will tell me How this ends...

Past time, Is this your past time, As those winds of change are blowing, Stronger now my friend...

On time, It will be on time, But that train of thought is going, Off the rails and then... what then?

And only time will tell, Yeah only time will tell me, How this ends...

And only time will tell, Yeah only time will tell me, How this ends...

My time (my time), This should be my time (my time), But those muddied waters, May not run so clear again...

And only time will tell, Yeah only time will tell me, How this ends. How this ends. How this ends. How this ends. How this ends...

That quite an eclectic mix of sounds. The stomping rock groove with brass, strings, layered harmonies and the bouncy melody evokes a strange sense of references that are hard to put a finger on... a bit like drinking a complex wine ... anyway it all sounds great. Thoroughly enjoyed it.... but like you, I'm wondering how this crazy situation all ends.

I'm getting some mid 70s Bowie vibes. I can dig it.
