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

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.

"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."

Guttersnipe (Live Version)

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.
