Hey, Jonathan

Time's tight! Let's see:
used the Deluge's onboard mic for the vocals and won't likely do that again, for reasons that will be obvious when you listen. LOL... good for the full-tilt stuff but not for the close-up. Mouth noises, room noises, etc. etc.
wanted to try a non-4/4 meter on the Deluge. No problem, just a little math. Triplets View ftw.
wanted to explore Venezuelan styles since the US "runs" Venezuela now. Long story short, I discovered Joropo - but the only thing this really has in common is the strumming pattern I did on my uke - but much, much slower than Joropo because holy hell Joropo's fast! (and beautiful - check some out!)
wanted to say something, anything, about the b.s. that's gone on in the States lately, and I can't claim that this is clever or even astute or even helpful. Just thoughts I put together into rhymes to get some of my anger out of my system.
Boy, am I spoiled by tuning and various Izotope products... But WB continues to be such a great learning experience using the Deluge for everything but some final quick mastering (level boost, some harshness control).
Lyrics
Hey Jonathan, why did you drive away?
I was hoping to get your perspective
Saw what you did and knew you couldn’t stay
Went and lost your head, oh, the invective
Hey Jonathan, were you truly afraid
With your gun and your vest and your boots in the town you invaded?
In my own life, that’s when I’ve been worst behaved
When I’ve been scared… or just humiliated
Hey Jonathan, who knew it paid so well
To turn on and turn in your neighbors
But then again, I bet that time will tell
And you’ll get the wage you’ve earned for your labors.
