The Party's Winding Down

Little Miss Popular
Written and performed by Staypress
Backing Vocals - Elizabeth Greenway
V1
David was a stand up guy and everyone was his friend
All the girls liked David and he got them in the end
Rachel was so popular, with girls and boys the same
Popular Miss Rachel soon became her name
Ch1
Little Miss Popular
A regular soap opera
V2
When David met Miss Popular sparks began to fly
No more girls for David, David was Rachel's guy
Valentines and roses, several years went by
Wedding turned to children, time just seemed to fly
Ch2
Little Miss Popular
A regular soap opera
Little Miss Popular
Bored with what life offered her
V3
David bought into the dream - hot tub in the yard
Cars and a large mortgage, paying it was hard
Rachel kept on spending it, he was too scared to say
Don't disappoint Miss Rachel - then they took the hot tub away
Middle bit
Now poor old David - driven to drink
Rachel too worried what the neighbours would think
Little Miss Popular found a new funder
Poor old David was torn asunder
Another victim of the Capitalist dream
The perfect couple estranged it would seem
Except this story has a happy ending - reconciliation and two hearts mending
Ch3
Little Miss Popular
Learned to live life simpler
Little Miss Popular
Opened her heart chakra
Repeat last chorus (sort of) 

Little Miss Popular

This is a fifth mix with  new guitars and bass.
(NOTE: The new guitars and bass are all Bitwood Guitars)
I just don't know when to quit....
And although it's somewhat autobiographical there are some friends in there, too.
And I don't have 26 pairs of shoes!

Toaster's broke, ain't no joke
What am I gonna do?
Energy bar for breakfast
And 26 pairs of shoes
I gotta go, runnin' way too slow
Jump in my ponderous ride
Hit the button to raise the door
And back that sucker outside

I got dreams, I got schemes, I'm in redemptive scenes
But first I gotta pay my dues
Buy some time, drop a dime, payin' way under prime
Have you seen my Bolivian shoes?

On the clock, on the chopping block
The window's down the hall
Make a toast, drop a post
Connect my conference call
Who's gonna serve what I deserve
Gimme my silver and gold
"Do what's right and you'll have your night"
Is what we're always told

Got no tears, Got no fears, you ain't gettin' in here
'Cause I got plenty to lose
Build a wall, kill 'em all, give me back my job at the shopping mall
Buddy ain't ya seen the news?

Facin' my 1st world problems
Singin' my Christian Blues
Wonderin' how to solve 'em
Bad luck is no excuse

IPad froze, TV blows
Internet's way too slow
Time to kill, can't buy a thrill
Where did my fit-bit go?
Trendy beauty, jury duty
Same as yesterday
Feelin' young and smooth and I can boldly move
As soon as I can figure which way

I got dreams, I got schemes, I'm in redemptive scenes
But first I gotta pay my dues
Draw the line, drop a dime, ain't no reasons justify these crimes
Have you seen my Bolivian shoes?

UPDATE!

I have created a video for Idyia and you can watch that here:-

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Adaptiverb features heavily in this piece.

A bass guitar provides one drone track and guitar provides a second drone track.

Usual noodling over the top.

To be honest, I wasn't sure about uploading this, but here it is, let me know what you think...

Idyia [now with video]

Revenge

This is a remix of Boson Spin's original piece:-

https://soundcloud.com/boson_spin/collab-base-track

No other sound sources were use.

The original track was reversed and sent to instances of Adaptiverb, MMultiBandGranular and Guitar Rig (x2). Much automation used on sends.

More works based on the original Boson Spin piece can be found here:-
