"Hey Baby" is best-known from the "Rainbow Bridge" movie which, coincidentally, showed me the Rainbow Bridge has nothing to do with death.
This is from the last time I did it, not too long ago: Hey Baby 9 and this will follow the "Capture" tune. The latter ends on F so I weasel that up to Am and tallyho with "Hey Baby."
The above isn't conjecture as doing those two one after the other will leave me soaked so that's plenty but at lot of what happens is working toward that in combination. With any luck it gets recorded tonight.
"Hey Baby" has A / B parts but the Boss GT100 only has one phrase loop so A-B would not work and would be disjointed. I don't need the B part for what I'm trying to do. The lyrics aren't the same and neither is the lead because the point, for me, isn't to copy him but to riff on the same vibe.
(Ed: why not use the RC50 looper?)
That pushes it into decidedly non-Hendrix thinking with a more than arbitrary drum loop and a questionable need for keys. It did not feel right to me although I may try it again. The B part is an interesting progression and the RC50 begs to do both but that takes a lot of 'liveness' out of it.
The song may materialize in the laser bit because "The End of the World in Fort Worth" is very much my Rainbow Bridge and "Hey Baby" bridges that back to the original Rainbow Bridge, although not one with the morbid destination some fancy is on the other side. And, if'n that ain't true, why should I ask Hey Baby to come with me. This means I will kill her? Like hell I will.
If you want to get poetic with true love is death in each other and there is a component of that thinking but in no way is this referring to a physical death anymore. I was going to say it's no more morbid than baptism but the latter is extremely morbid and I still haven't forgiven that priest who kept throwing that in my face. I was dying to say, 'if that's all you know of God's love, who the fuck needs it?'
Note: I am not now nor have I ever been a Christian but I will treat with respect those who treat it respectfully ... but hardly anyone does. They did in Greece and I have admired the Greeks tremendously for that.
Note: I'm not overlooking nor whitewashing the treatment of refugees trying to enter Greece.
