In These Conditions (WB36)

By spry on September 11, 2022 7:02 pm

Got another ear worm going and wrote out a song about it! It's a phrase that you hear a lot but the context is often lacking.

The chorus kinda formed itself by repeating the lyircs somehow and I sung it out with a friend to get the rhythms early in the week. On Sunday I put down a couple of simple rhythm patterns in ableton and tracked out a structure while writing some verses. Put all the chords and things together before I put down the guitar track in two single takes and panned them left and right. I did 2 vocal takes and chopped them up to get a nice 3 part harmony for the final chorus! Total work time at the station about 4 hours.



Lyrics:


Nobody wants to work anymore - in these conditions
In these conditions
Nobody wants to, Nobody wants to


I don't get paid enough
To deal with all of this
And I'm sick of it
So I going somewhere else
And when I leave
The guy who's left behind
Will wear my hat with his
Dozen other hats


And when my business has
No heads to fill my hats
And all that's left is rats
We're going to shut down!
