Wrote this on the resonator yesterday. I don't know how I feel about the lyric so any input there is welcome. I also thought about adding another verse. Any ideas on where that could go?

 

If you come this way

Do me one favor

Bring another bottle

Red's my favorite flavor

 

I've already got a glass

and only one request

seeing as it's empty

it could stand to be refreshed

 

Let your hair down

go ahead and shake it out

Kick off your shoes

won't you sit a while

 

If you had anywhere else to be

you'd prolly already be there

if that's where the night took you

I prolly wouldn't care

 

I like the way it happened

I'm glad you're here with me

I could do without the conversation

but I'm thankful for the company

 

Let your hair down

go ahead and shake it out

kick off your shoes

won't you sit a while

So far so good, would love to hear the music.

 

If you add a verse it might be an opportunity to add some depth to something which is pretty straightforward. Add a twist (she's your wife, she's a prostitute, you're kids and she's bringing you kool aid) or something with some weight. You're call, a lot depends on how strong the music is.

That last line stuck me oddly...IDK what to change it to but it sounded forced.

 

Maybe...You're my kind of neighbor

It has a similar 'feel' to Dylan's 'I'll be your baby tonight'.

 

Kick your shoes off, do not fear

Bring that bottle over here

I'll be your baby tonight

 

I agree that the 'favourite flavour' line seems odd.

 

I'm not sure if this is any good to you, but it's the way I speak:

 

If you come this way

Do me one favor

Bring another bottle

My head's in labour

 

​If you were going to place another verse somewhere, maybe it could go between Section 4 and 5 and flesh out the transition between time and events.

I agree it could use some depth, and I think the ideas you have there are great.

 

I'm not sure how to do that given where I'm trying to go with this one. This is now the 4th song I have that is in this type of vein; resonator, riff heavy, all sexual in nature. I'd like to do an ep. Reso, 70s ludwig kit with loose heads, bass synth, and super reverby vocals.

Nice pick up. That's definitely the vibe.

Thanks Rick. Eventually I'm going to work it up with some more instruments, but it'll still be pretty sparse. Some fat loose drums and a synth for bass will probably be about it.

 

LCK, I'm glad you like that line. It was one of my favorites, but I was starting to have my doubts.

 

I'm thinking that bringing "red" back again if I add another verse could be nice... lips, a dress, hair. It wouldn't really add any depth, but I think i might like this being that straightforward. Thoughts?

I'm not even knowledgeable enough about that sort of thing to be able to say if that's the ticket. That's super cool that you'd be into helping out. I have no idea when I'll get around to recording this properly.

 

As of last night the tracking is done on the current record. It still needs to be mixed and mastered. I have two directions I'm writing in simultaneously for twp EPs, "pretty" piano music and what ever this will be.

Yeah, as long as it's just one mention, it might be cool.

 

Or you could go all out and say "you're my favorite flavor" to the girl?
