Sweet sweet sound Vamp! Super-sick slide playin and those harmonies are like cream cheese frosting! Well Done!

Well, not dead yet.

Here is my first post for 2018. Honestly, I really thought there wouldn't be one.

This is what happens when I hit record and just play the first thing that enters my head. On that basis I guess it isn't too bad. 

Everything is one take, no mixing and no polish. I kind of like this style of working. No pressure. It is what it is.

The track is just a bit of chant and some rusty slide. Oh yeah, the percussion is me clapping and breathing. I think it is OK. Anyway, not much else to say.

Hope you enjoy!

Lyrics:
Take a look at me, not the man that I used to be because
Love let me down, what have we done
What was that you said, wish you held onto me instead but now
I’m not around, love let me down
I thought of you day and night girl, did you think about me
Those letters that I would write, crying out girl, that you ought to be
My dearest friend (arms around me) so we could spend (eternity)
Don’t let it end, oh girl, think about me
Tried to make love stay, but it only chased you away, and then
Life with you gone, what have we done
Finally moved along, loving on without you was wrong, and so
I settled down, turned things around
You talk of a love before girl, you talk about me
You reach out for something more, now you know
You’re reaching for me
You’re only one (thinking ‘bout me) 
And what we’ve done (thinking ‘bout me)
When love is gone, darlin’, darlin’, think about me.
I know it’s a killing game girl, but think about me
It never can be the same girl, just think about me
We share the seed, both hearts agree, and both hearts bleed
Holding him you feel empty baby but, think about me
Those dreams that you dreamt maybe girl, you dream about me
And how I feel (arms around me), a love that’s real 
Love lost forever, think about me
Love lasts forever, think about me

marks upon my body
secrets i can't tell
symbol of oppression
cast under a spell

stole my independence
turned me to a slave
i won't be afraid again

bound me with your violence
scarred me with your brand
forced me into silence
i had to take a stand

call me by my name
i won't be ashamed
i won't be afraid again 

i am a survivor
i will break the chain
i belong to no-one
call me by my name

love hope bravery
free from slavery
i won't be afraid again

Different scenarios of jealousy in a relationship from a male and female perspective.  ...and no isn't based on personal experience.  :)

JEALOUSY  -  JunkHeap (c) Jul 2020

There they are in a restaurant, candle light.
Couples absorbing the vibe.
Then she looks at this guy walking by...

Jealousy.
Her boyfriend feels...

Ohh don't play around,
Ohh don't play with it,
Ohh don't play around with my heart.
He said
Don't play around.

Uh oh, things end early he leaves the scene.
She pays the bill and walks outside 
to confront him by the car.
They love each other deeply.

All that matters is the love between them.
They both fear the other will leave them.

Jealousy.

And it's the same on the other side.
At the concert this lady gives him a look,
he smirks, his girl fumes, he's being a jerk.

Jealousy.
She feels...

Ohh don't play around,
Ohh don't play with it,
Ohh don't play around with my heart.
She said.
Don't play around.

Ohh don't play around,
Ohh don't play with it,
Ohh don't play around with my heart.
Don't play around.

Jealousy

thank you for trusting me with your work ... I had a few goes at this .. Initially using the opening flourish in a toccata and fugue mimic .. However it turned out ham fisted and the opposite of what I had imagined ... I awoke at 4 in the morning .. Simplified it and then let the atmosphere and transmissions  around me dictate where it went ... Feel the force Luke etc etc ...  I am merely an antenna .. You did all the work G ....Its turned out nice again G ... R :)
