Tony Baloni Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 New Recording here!!! This is what I did instead of sleeping last night: Pet Raccoon song. A little jazzy indie sounding song with mostly guitar and a little sax and melodica. I wish I had a pet raccoon Because I like the way they look Raccoons are curious and [fudge stuff] up And those are two qualities that I appreciate So somethin that I gotta do soon Is get my hands on a pet raccoon I wish that I could play guitar Because I like the way it sounds But I can never press down all the strings at once So I just play power chords or stick to piano But if I wanna play in a bar I gotta learn to play guitar We can never know anything At All Until we take a fall But I don't care cause I got Sex, Drugs, and Rock'n'Roll A distraction from a distraction from the thing that makes us human You say you'll start living tomorrow.. Where did the time go? I wish that I could fall in love Without getting up again But everythings different when you're quarantined You pretend you're blind because you see what you need The only thing that can set me free, is the Freedom to be The mind is a prison to the soul And new bars are added everyday But prison food never quite tastes right You divide by zero and you get in a fight So somethin that I gotta find, Is the courage to unlock my mind. We can never know anything At All Until we take a fall But I don't care cause I got Sex, Drugs, and Rock'n'Roll A distraction from a distraction from the thing that makes us human You say you'll start living tomorrow.. Where did the time go? I wish I had a pet raccoon Because I like the way they look Raccoons are curious and [don't use profanity] And those are two qualities that I appreciate So somethin that I gotta do soon Is get my hands on a pet raccoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 You guys did a really good job with this . Mind you , mind the Beatles , nuff said . That is release-worthy , but you will hear the latter . The lyrics go nowhere , story-wise - (Hmmm ...Rocky Raccoon .. ) , as you know that an I always hate that - but I did like this tune . A bit of tweaking and you could relaunch the Detroit invasion ! Very close to a classic now , though , is what I mean - and that will hurt you. Loved the the silly verses , but the middle part was the strongest . Good job ,lads ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Baloni Posted August 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Thanks man! So wait, are you saying this sounds like Rocky Raccoon?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 wow Chris... nice! It's got echoes of "Rocky" in it, but it doesn't really sound like it, IMO. I really like it. I like the sense of humor that is inherent in it, it makes me smile. But it's also got shades of a serious message. So it's a nice mix. If you could pare it down just a little... as it is a fairly long song... that would be perfect. I'm not a huge fan of instrumental solos in the middle of songs, so that part was just a bit overdone for me. But then I know I'm probably in the minority. I'll be back to listen to the other songs you've got posted too... Nice work! BTW - are these recorded in a studio, or just from your home? Just curious...
