Here's another song that didn't exist in any form until today. This session was a blank slate that I started with a bass line. The main 2-chord progression is not typical, but I liked the flow...especially the transition into the Chorus, which is not as edgy. The single electric guitar that picks the main chords is predominant, but the 2nd (of two) guitars makes an obvious entrance half way into the song. The keys are a combination of strings, a solo violin (on the Bridge section), and an accordion. The vocals were written as they were sung...making small revisions after each take. The lyrics are vague, but the original idea was to talk about control (or lack of it) as well as being careful not to enter "default mode" while living...reverting back to safe settings when difficult things appear, etc.
LYRICS: "How could something so big be so hard to see? No options now, 'Control/Alt/Delete.' As one wall falls another one's built. They close us in. They keep them out. But I'm moving this pen, and I'm pulling these strings."
