Spyder Lyrics

This is a pretty straightforward song.  Partly based it on the Jack Nicholson character in Chinatown.


Lyrics;
Sitting in a car
Top floor garage, the perfect spot
Hours before the morning sun would rise

Occasionally a car would pass
On the clean swept city street 
In a town where dreams of dreamers go to die

No one there would notice him
Inside that old sedan
With slightly tinted windows
And assorted spy supplies

Across the street a condo
And room with two inside
Open curtains, fourth floor
An exclusive high rise
(Click)

Another case another cheater
Another day of real life theater
And he is capturing the feature
The spy-der gets the fly
The stage is struck the case is closed
A dirty secret is exposed
It's how the spying business goes
Public practice, private eye

Betrayers with big money
Stealing time with dirty honey
Lovers become enemies
And want them tied and bound

Armed with film and long range scopes
Unbeknownst he interlopes
Taking aim he deftly shoots
And soon the big game's going down

Like a game of cat and mouse
A business, flat or house
A dog on the hunt
Sniffing clues right off the ground

Another case another cheater
Another day of real life theater
And he is capturing the feature
The spy-der gets the fly
The stage is struck
The case is closed
A dirty secret is exposed
It's how the spying business goes
Public practice, private eye

When the Spy-der web is weaved
The truth will be received

All it takes is a few clicks
And the delivery of pics
Hidden from their view
They never hear the sound

An envelope in trade for pay
The evidence will put away
The tyrant queen or king
Who's about to lose their crown

The truth can bring great pain
But great for monetary gain
The business never slows
In this low down dirty town

Another case another cheater
Another day of real life theater
And he is capturing the feature
The spy-der gets the fly
The stage is struck
The case is closed
A dirty secret is exposed
It's how the spying business goes
Public practice, private eye

We play the music that comes to us.  Much of our music has a basis in blues and rock.  Although we venture into other musical territory.  You will find hints of jazz, country, bluegrass, soul, classical, and other music in our songs.  We have a number of songs that change time signatures and pace.

When we first started recording we called ourselves Dan and Dan. 
 You can find our music under that moniker here:
https://soundcloud.com/user-590884876

We stopped using the name Dan and Dan's because there were to many other Dan's using that name.  If you google Dan and Dan we would not show up.  We believe that Dan X2 to be a moniker that we could own.   If you google Dan X2 we are right at the top,

We have a music making process that fits our unique skills.  We each do the parts that best fit our skills and interests.  Dan Lockhart does the initial song development.  Dan Blackard writes the lyrics, perform the vocals, and adds lead guitar.  Dan Lockhart then takes the track and do all final production (mixing and mastering).

Dan Lockhart writes all of the chords, timing, changes, and develops the track.  I then send two tracks to Dan Blackard.  One track has Dan L. describing the song.  Tell him the key, the timing, and any oddities about the song (changing keys or time signature...).  In the track Dan L tell Dan B verbally where is the verse, chorus, bridge and any other important information.

Dan Lockhart then send a second track that does not have this verbal dialogue.  This is called the instrumental track.  This is a track to which Dan B. can sing and add his parts.  Dan Blackard then returns  four pieces to Dan L:  a complete version of the song, a solo track of his vocals, a solo track of his guitar parts, and the artwork to accompany the song.

Dan Lockhart add his information into the original file.  Dan L. listen to it and make changes to the song to enhance the meaning of the lyrics. He sometimes adds instruments or takes away some instruments.  As Dan L. play many instruments (guitar, keyboards, banjo, mandolin, pedal steel, violin, viola...), he can make a lot of adjustments.    On rare occasions he move pieces about.  Dan Lockhart then masters it and prepare it for final production.
