Very rushed mix for songaweek 2024 week #5 - theme is Carousel.

I used the Audiority Chorus Ensembler plugin to get the guitar sound, which emulates the Boss CE-1 pedal.

Synthetic vocals by Emvoice Jay. This one actually suits Jay's voice down to the ground.

[re-tagged this as a 'demo' as it really does need a bit more work..]

Lyrics:
-------

Painted faces on wooden ponies
Up and down they go
Pledges made by fairground phoneys
You can’t believe a word

Left wing striders and right wing bluster
On this roundabout of broken dreams
Where no-one wins

The cycle prevails
Where unity fails
We all slow down.

Carousel!
We go round and round and round
Carousel!
It goes round and round and round

Blue horses prance, the red ones follow
Round and around they go
Build a thing, tear it down, Build another
Watch the money go

The rhetoric swings
Our candy floss dreams
Melting away

Carousel!
They go round and round and round
Carousel!
We all go round and round and round

Ticket booths are selling hope today
One gives, the other takes away.

Carousel!
We go round and round and round
Carousel!
It goes round and round and round

round and round and round
round and round and round
round and round and round
round and round and round

red blue red blue red blue

Carousel

Carousel (demo)

I wrote and recorded this in one day and a morning! This is song number 6 for the album I'm creating as part of the FAWM challenge.
Um.. I was really emotional when I wrote this, and feeling super grateful for someone special who bears with me on my bad days and always reassures me its all going to be OK, Cat! Yeah, I had trouble singing the line "One kiss at a time is all it takes to make things right" without blubbing.. honestly.. 
I'm not a percussionist or a bass player, so those tracks are probably not what a drummer or bassist would do. I'm going to record guitar and vocals on separate tracks and mix it all properly, but for now here is a demo of the arrangement which I'm basically happy with! 
I hope you enjoy listening... by the way, I put RnB / Soul because I don't really think this is pop or folk/singer-songwriter, but any suggestions on more appropriate genre is welcome, in addition of course to any feedback!

One Step Closer


Somedays I wake up with such trouble in my head

Sometimes I just feel like I wanna run away instead

Then you call out of the blue and you say it’s all ok and everything’s gonna be alright

Oh you don’t know how you know and you can never tell me why 

But YOU JUST KNOW it’s gonna be alright


One day at a time is all it takes to build a life

One kiss at a time is all it takes to make things right

One step at a time feels pretty slow but even so it’s one step closer than before

One step at a time seems pretty small but after all that’s one step closer than before

Closer than before

Some nights I lie awake with so much trouble on my mind

I replay every single mistake I’ve ever made in my life

Then you kiss me on the head sit beside me on the bed and say Hey it’s gonna be OK, 

oh you don’t know how you know and you never tell me why but I believe you when you say


One Day at a time is all it takes to build a life

One kiss at a time is all it takes to make things right

One day at a time is all it takes to build a life

One kiss at a time is all it takes to make things right

One step at a time feels pretty slow but even so it’s one step closer than before

One step at a time seems pretty small but after all that’s one step closer than before

Closer than before
