I had played a version of this song at a few open mics in 2021, and I couldn't quite get it right. Last week I changed one chord and it really all fell into place. I'm a total amateur, I used: garageband w/ a couple of choice plugins, guitar, bass, a remarkably inexpensive medium diaphragm mic, and I programmed the drums in DM-1.

Dancing and Reckless

I started writing this during the winter when the words "Wrap up, you got the chill of the fever upon you," stuck in my head during the everyone is sick part of wintertime. I used: 
Guitar, bass, Midi keyboard, DM-1, Some Waves plugins, and crescent wrench (1/2 in. obvs).

Lyrics: 
wrap UP you got the chill of the fever
upON you 
I’m proud but I’m ROTten
This glass has no BOTtom / come

HOME
to the voices of people who
LOVed you
A chorus
From miles above you

Chorus 1
Sick and ventilated
Remember why I came
A passing conversation
Irene Cara starred in Fame

Verse 2
Your
EYES had something left
BEHIND them
so KIND
I couldn’t recogNIZE You

You FELT
Like a KRISHNA
PEACEful
and toGETHer

Chorus 2 
Produce a deck of cards
So we can lose your game
Lay down or put up a
fight for the fame

Verse 3
the
SUN
Rises in the VALLEY
We’re ALONE
but we’re HAPPY / I 

CRIED
The tears of a 
STRANGER
who met his oldest
FRIEND

Chorus 3
Lies are superstitions
Birds all look the same
Remember that I loved you
This rock has got a name

Chill of the Fever

I Try

I met a man at Newkirk Ave while waiting on the Q. Anyone who lives in the city or has visited here, you know how crazy some people are on the trains, and you just ignore their story. But for once, this homeless crazy man got to me.
