Collaboration with Apolez3 for FAWM 2022

Siebass: Took my best crack at it, had to tweak some lyrics to fit rhyme and beat, but I think it turned out pretty well.

Apolez3:
Liner NotesThe saddest key is said to be the D Minor Chord
D-F minor third then F-A Major third.
Inspired by the D-Minor.
Added the following after the comment/s...
(As Nigel Tufnel, the waggish musician protagonist of the 1984 mockumentary Spinal Tap, said when putting his sentimental “Lick My Love Pump” in D minor: “It's the saddest of all keys. I don't know why, but it makes people weep, instantly, when you play it!”)

[INTRO]

[VERSE 1]
I’m so sad you’re gone
Where did I go wrong?
No one can replace
I can’t even erase
The D Minor Chord
What the hell am I going to do?
Because I’m left
with the D Minor Chord
playing on my heart

[CHORUS]
you played the D MINOR CHORD
The D Minor Chord
you played the D Minor Chord
directly on my heart
you played the D MINOR CHORD
The D Minor Chord
you played the D Minor Chord
directly on my heart

[VERSE 2]
How could someone as wonderful as you
Give me what you put me through
Leaving me so sad, 
depressed and blue
the D Minor Chord
it seems to linger on
Keep me out of sorts
playing on my heart

[CHORUS]
you played the D MINOR CHORD
The D Minor Chord
you played the D Minor Chord
directly on my heart
you played the D MINOR CHORD
The D Minor Chord
you played the D Minor Chord
directly on my heart

[VERSE 3]
Because you played the D Minor Chord
Right on my Heart
All this pain I’m going through
I’m without a grin
Because you played the D Minor Chord
I can’t erase
the saddest music that I face

[CHORUS]
you played the D MINOR CHORD
The D Minor Chord
you played the D Minor Chord
directly on my heart
you played the D MINOR CHORD
The D Minor Chord
you played the D Minor Chord
directly on my heart

Arpeggiated D minor with alternating first string positions 1 -3 - 0
[BRIDGE]

The D Minor is still playing on my heart
Which is the saddest key
including a minor third
instead of a major third
In lieu of a D Minor Chord
Could have played a beautification grace note instead
Give me a grace note instead
Give me a grace note instead
Give me a grace note instead
But I got the D Minor Chord
Gave me the D Minor Chord
an ostinato, painting my soul blue
What am I going to do
When It feels like I can’t get over you
My heart a rhythmic knife keeps going through

[CHORUS]
you played the D MINOR CHORD
The D Minor Chord
you played the D Minor Chord
directly on my heart
you played the D MINOR CHORD
The D Minor Chord
you played the D Minor Chord
directly on my heart

[OUTRO]
Just to think I could have been euphoric, 
without all this bloodshed
If you just played the grace note instead!

Darlin' you're a picture
That I wanna take
I'm up inside my mind with a pistol for a brain

Got an itchy trigger finger
I wanna shoot it straight
Just when I think I know you, girl, that's when you let me down again

Woohoo (say what ya mean girl)
Woohoo (before it's too late)
Woohoo (say what ya mean cuz)
Time ain't on your side...on your side

Now darlin', I'm a simple boy
With simple needs
I like a girl who tells me straight if she wants to she can leave

If you're a wandrin'
Then that's ok
I don't need your cherry red lips tryin' to tell me you wanna play

Woohoo (say what ya mean girl)
Woohoo (before it's too late)
Woohoo (say what ya mean cuz)
Time ain't on your side...on your side (repeat)

Time ain't on your side
Time ain't on your side
Time
Time
Time ain't on your side
Time 
Time
Time ain't on your side
Time ain't on your side



Time Ain't On Your Side

Collab with my buddy, topic for lyrics was "trimming the fat"

Lyrics by Michael Stettes
Music by Siebass

Excess Nexus

VERSE

so you got rid of the scraps
leftovers, knick-knacks
the toxic and fair-weathered
wasted breaths and silent letters

but they didn't go away
just got a new place to stay
beyond your simple science
they formed an alliance

one day they caught you sleeping
crept up on you creep creeping
stuck your body in a vice
and ran off into the night

you woke up surrounded
body trapped and mind confounded
far as your eyes could see
were things you didn't need

PCH 

now you're in a weird dimension
faced with deadly intention
you were done with these fools
but they weren't done with you

CHORUS:

Surrounded by your trash
how long will you last
in the 
EXCESS NEXUS 

You kicked 'em to the curb
but now it's your turn
in the
EXCESS NEXUS

(Solo)


Tried to trim the fat but the fat fought back!
Tried to let it go but it won't let go!
Guess you’re stuck in the 
EXCESS NEXUS

A sad fate
with no escape
from the
EXCESS NEXUS
