'Take 2' from two nights ago has been previewed multiple times because I've been curious just to hear it. There's hearing it in imagining it and then there's hearing it with impact.
It's not too bad. Even with some inadequacies in the video, I'm tempted to release it. This isn't a tease because I won't do that but ... it's not too bad. It must seem so narcissistic but my purpose in watching it is to judge is this the sound or what.
Then it came the lead line after the vocal should mirror the hook ... just leave it behind, you won't need it here. No way for notation here so the general pattern is 1/4, 1/8-1/8, 1/4, 1/4 ... da de-dah de dah for two bars. Simple but highly hookish and it damn sure hooked me.
It goes verse, chorus three times and vocal ends with the last chorus so the lead line should start be repeating the hook the vocal had been casting in the chorus as in the above paragraph.
(Ed: instead of writing about it, why not just fookin' do it?)
This one is much more composer-ish than usual and the study part is to turn it upside-down to see what it looks like now. Some stuff comes as I play but the structural aspect is the composer-ish part.
Rather than recording, the best move is to screw around with the lead line and the chorus. This is the part where I imagine living with a musician would be such a blazing nightmare. Yevette isn't here so it wouldn't bother her and this is the do it over and over part. Lemme see ... how did that go ... nope ... do it over.
Update: as I write it bubbles up. The hook is such a simple motif and it doesn't even bug me it's simple, it needs to be that. For the lead it can slide on two strings and that's just a two-string bar rather than a physical slide. That sounds tasty-ish in the pattern up the top 1/4, 1/8-1/8, etc. Yep, that works. Just about ready to try this.
There's also the temptation to recall Gabriel's horn with the guitar. It's not the same key but recalling that riff in this key will do it. That has a mournful sound to it and that needs a bit of thinking.
From the Bible, Gabriel's horn was the call for Judgment Day
so ... then it fits that the call came from downtown Fort Worth with Gabriel on the building. The Judgment is downtown and that's where people were evaporating. It doesn't need to be recalled in the chorus because that call was already made and not for this destination.
(Ed: oh, right. The Sanctuary is a way to bypass the Day of Judgment. You will burn, Satan Boy!)
What if the Sanctuary is the Judgment ... it means you passed.
(Ed: even better, now I'm fookin' dead)
If you want to look at it as death then that's your twisted prerogative but if the portrayal of the Sanctuary is death then (cough) I'm not minding death at all.
(Ed: is the Rainbow Bridge death or fookin' what?)
No, without any question, it is not death. I go back and forth on a nightly basis and I'm quite sure I'm not dead.
(Ed: damn, I forgot. You play rock so I need to spell it out. Is it a metaphor for death?)
Same answer. It's not death.
There's a place of light we can approach in our minds and you do it in the things which mean the most to you in the feeling when you get it right ... this is just so, so dayum good. That connection is the Rainbow Bridge and it's the only way to get there. It's not so much I have to show you the way because you have already been there.
Maybe you made a baby and tell me you didn't feel all Biblical when you first saw that little rotter. It's the same thing. Dutch call it gezellig and it's the place where everyone feels it and you don't have to say anything.
Here at the Rockhouse, we're happy to call it magic.
(Ed: right. So now you're a wizard?)
Well, I do have the hat.
