Description
Got this idea to a song while fiddling around with a low tuning, drop-Bb. Wrote four lines for a chorus before I went out for the day. When I got back I found it laying on my desk. So I finished it with up with some verses(whch actually took some time). When that was done I had the whole instrumentation laid out in my head, so I went in to the "studio" to record the basic tracks. But it's late in Norway now, so I decided to only record a single track wth guitar and vocals to hear how it sounds. So here it is. Some vocal and timing mistakes, but all in all think it sounds quite good. Late night performance in front of a single mic. Will record a version with more instruments as soon as I got some time at hand.

Lyrics
I’ve never been a man with a mission
Never had to talk the talk
And like men in my position
I would never have walked the walk

Believe me
Set me free
My time has come
I'm walking in the valley below


I’ve never found my lucky lady
Still looking for my queen bee
Haven’t had much time lately
I’ll soon be swimming in the deep blue sea


I come up and the gates are open
This train is a one way ride
People get on and gotta get off when
They’ve moved on and their ticket’s expired

I've walked in the misty mountains
I seen through the darked haze
I held tight by the screamin and shouting
I've been in the vanised craze

I stood tall at the eye of evil
I need time to ease my mind
I see this as my own retrieval
Of the time that lay behind

Always had a lack of ambition
Never faced the smoking gun
And here I am, at the end of my edition
Going back to were it all begun

Believe Me
The reduced string tension sets up some really atmospheric fret buzz and string rattle which sounds a bit like a big old upright acoustic bass. Don't add too many other instruments because it sounds powerful with just the acoustic and vocal.
I liked this a lot!

late night recording is fun used to do more of that when i lived by myself. reminds me some of a danzig song. it has a sort of dark gospel sound. not sure gospel is exactly the right word. but best i can think of sort of like one of the songs on oh brother where art thou think that's the name of it.. i like the style to it.
Check out my latest song called Die (Album Version)
