A deep dark dive into despair.  People taken down by medical bills and forces beyond their control forced to survive on the streets.  Turning to whatever gets them through the day ,  especially a new drug called, "Bus Exhaust."

Bus Exhaust (Techno)

Vocal Engineer: Sam
Mixed and mastered by B Steele. 
Lighter: Psychedelic Revolution
Mouth Trumpet: Psychedelic Revolution
 

There’s some polyrhythm with the lighter in triple meter and the rest in simple meter. Then polyrhythm again at the bridge with the bongos paired with a Latin bass line. There’s a backdoor cadence for the verses and a Picardi cadence at the end. Lead playing has a whole tone scale and diminished scale in there. I also superimposed the organ to play F pretty much the whole way through. For key changes, I used the subdom and then dom of the following key instead of my more abrupt ‘common chords or ‘Dom of following key’ approach. Initially, the first phrase of the chorus was just ‘Holding on’ but I came up with the 4 lines she sings at the very end. ‘Blip piano’ effect functions as the sound of keys, phone calls, and ICU at the end. Piano voicing, now cover both vocal melody and easy bass lines so I ended up singing a 7#9 chord if I combined the notes which was cool.  The debut of my mouth trumpet at 3:00. I have also switched to neck pick ups for the rhythm guitar to give it a more Fendery and warmer tone.



Lyrically, I once asked a teacher in high school about ‘Another Brick in the Wall.’ “How do you feel about being a teacher and hearing that song?” He replied, “Well, its’ actually about teachers who abuse their power.”
So this isn’t an anti drug song but an anti drug abuse song.   I think a lot of teachers would say their personal lives are not exactly smooth sailing.  It  is similar to the film Half Nelson except that the drug of choice is weed. Teachers are able to deliver good classes while having a drug habit.  “黄猫、黑猫，只要捉住老鼠就是好猫.”  I was hanging out with the ‘bad kids’ from WAB a few years back for a smoke break and one of them said, “B is such a dumbass. He posted pics of weed on his WeChat.”
Song is based on my fictional character roommate. The junkie joke is that he once was at a McDonald’s and asked, “Do you have some coke?…to drink” in seriousness. I love McDonalds! “They got that burger I like. Starts with a Q”

Then, oxycodone became popular in the States in 2011-12.  He did say, “I want to Turkish slap and then river dance on her corpse.” Unfortunately, the professor he was talking about overheard. It would be amusing if people danced to this song. In the end, I think he never graduated but that is OK because he is high up there and is now working in finance. I was talking to an old friend about another guy who did nothing all day and he said, “Hey, if it was me in his shoes, I’d do a lot worse.” So, that’s my view. He was into ‘Red Baron’ by Billy Cobham, the Stones, ‘Hard Times’ by Ray Charles,’Sitting…’ by Otis Redding, ‘Can’t Be Touched’ by Roy Jones Jr (cos’ he was a talented/hard working boxer when he was younger) and ‘What a Waster’ by The Libertines. I think with a royal weight on your shoulder that can be tough as there are no lands left to conquer for him. But, if I can name 3 people with bigger shoes to fill off the top of my head than the kids at int’l schools shouldn’t worry.
