Long Road Home (v1)

By pineapple_dan on June 23, 2024 7:42 pm

This is my first, sloppy take of a song I've been working out for a while. This one will eventually land on an album in completed form. Lmk if you have any opinions on the ending.

===========================

I'm going nowhere
Might as well have a good time getting there
Oh I know, it's a long road home

This bond is forever
These chains can't be freed
Cemented by the secrets kept between you and me

Nowhere left to run
Oh God what have we done?
They’ve gone and lost the blueprints for kingdom come 

Keep telling yourself lies
Just keep biding your time
How many of our problems are just one problem in disguise?

Cold and conniving
Heartless and mean
No use in hiding, from me

Whatever it takes to
Justify the means
Cemented by the secrets kept between you and me

Wow, this sounds like a  collaboration between Lou Reed and Syd Barrett. Very good.

Those vocals are good, man! I agree there's some Lou Reed and Barrett vibes there. Nitpick: the rhythm isn't quite keeping up with the rest.

Thanks so much, I appreciate the listen and the feedback! I can't wait to clean this one up for a proper recording.
