Alternate version of "Bliss" from my upcoming release

Bliss  (Strings Version)

I wanted to write this music in the same mood as when you hear the melodies in the wind and it just goes...
Did that happen, please listen?

Lyrics:

This bitter road is all I’ve known
Pitch black and ever winding
like the spine of some spiteful soul
Here no light can find me
Only nightmares and crushing lows
down this trail of misfortune
Born to spread this grief that fills my lungs,
‘cause grief is my infection

Breathe it in, to me it feels like home
It feels like rain when you’re alone 
A dying friend when you need them most
A violin when it plays sad notes A candle blowing out when you see your loved one’s ghost 

This bitter road will not dead end,
I just pave it further every day
Made from all the things I try to forget
as they burn away my brain

Breathe it in, to me it smells like home
It feels like shame when you atone
A dying dream when you want it most
A bloody hand when you cut too close A glimpse of paradise when you’re trapped on Bitter Road

There is no wind that blows
No pretty trees or stars
And I don’t remember 
where they’ve gone
The darkness pressed against my skin
I’ve lost the will to care
The man that’s standing here is gone, gone, gone
There is no weapon greater than the emotional scar
This bitter road is my cell

Bitter Road

The Doonesbury Band is pleased to announce their new single Gotta Get High. 

See the official video here https://youtu.be/FdicVFpxEw8

Recorded in Roberts Creek British Columbia at the BADASS (Beach Avenue Design And Sound Studios) an exclusive and privately owned waterfront recording studio - the sound is unique and flavored with 60s 70s and 90s spices. 

"As a band we've played some pretty amazing cocktail lounges and we also record in some great studios but BADASS is another level. It was off the charts mind blowing. A real great place to make music with vintage gear mixed with high tech, it's by invite only so we feel really blessed when we are there. You feel at home pretty quick drinking a Hennessy or chilling on the restoration hardware couches and then you look out at and there are hump back whales going past and a bald eagle sitting right there, Its freaking mind blowing and really added to our mindset in a positive way. Still drank way too much though that also added flavor.."

The song is 110 bpm and just over 6 minutes in length. A great tribute to the rock and roll lifestyle. Leading in with a clean guitar riff and the subtle sounds of an electric piano the beat kicks in and drives the song with strong vocals similar to a Burton Cummings sound and a great fun original narrative.

Back up vocals are raw and powerful adding to the narrative. A technical note of interest that the backup vocals were each doubled up and slightly off set to get that great edgy sound. 

"This was such a great song to write and play. I feel it gives homage to all the awesome years we've had as a band together. We're not crazy like we were but we can still run up a bar tab pretty good. It was fun and I want to thank BADASS for thie hospitality and I look forward to seeing the guys again soon on tour." Doonesbury lead singer and creative director.

Guaranteed to get folks up and dancing Gotta Get High is released on Shaffer Music label. 

Look for the song available on 7" vinyl, CD, streaming and possibly…tape cassette? Who knows.

The Doonesbury Band will be releasing tour dates asap for thie Slow Down album released in July 2022.
