I made this track a couple of years ago and I remember, at the time, work was slow. I was struggling to have my rent on time. Driving for Uber, selling off music gear and other things I couldn't justify keeping, doing a little side hustle here and there, it seemed like every other thought in my head was about rent. All day long just rent, rent, rent, rent ... so I made a song about it!

Rent

"She's a pushy little bitch that always gets her way
A nasty little number that will cauterize your brain.

She's a guttersnipe immune to all their hype.
She's a guttersnipe. She'a sees all through their tripe.
She's a guttersnipe.

With her ice cold act and her passions of fire
She will freeze you with a glance and burn you with desire.

She's a modern girl for a modern world.
She'll prove to you that you're really there.

She's so eternally cool, so terminally hip
In her bucket of love I'm just another drip."

Michael Wayne Davis wrote the lyrics and I wrote the music to his words. He remarked that the music was a departure from what he wanted but he didn't come up with anything to replace it. I sang lead vocal. Mike sang backing vocal. This version of "Guttersnipe" has Jon Navy on lead electric guitar.

Here's where you can hear different versions of this song:

A version of this tune eventually ended up in my CD "Mostly Acoustic" available here: on.soundcloud.com/UssrPNYRW7yURbou5.

I consider myself a fringe conceptual artist and have experimented with all kinds of media like drawing, performance, writing, music, painting, moviemaking, game design since I was quite young. I'd love it if you would check out what I've got going here in the sound department.
