The air at "tawalker Towers" is heavy with "THAT went well" :-|

A week from the end of the challenge, and I'm at least two songs behind where I ought to be by now... not that it REALLY matters that much, but I'd rather avoid a mad scramble for the finish line!

Anyway - finally - here's song 9, which ironically, I would've liked at least another day to get sounding like I hear it in my head, but given that this would probably make the song's inspiration clearer to those who have heard it, it's probably for the best that you've got the song as it is...

Recorded in GarageBand on my iPhone 6S. The drums, bass and Wurlitzer electric piano are all GB instruments (I revoiced the piano and drums during mixing in Logic), but the vocal and the guitars are mine/real. Surprisingly, this is the first song this FAWM to feature my 6-string acoustic guitar (Faith Saturn); I also play 12-string acoustic (Seagull S12) and electric lead (Ministar Testar).

As I said, I wish I could've done a bit more on this song - the vocal melody isn't quite worked out yet, for one - but perhaps another time. I have some ground to make up...

lyrics

Procrastination
Take care of it tomorrow
That train’s leaving the station
The chance of boarding, quite low
If I’m left there on the platform
Some might rightly say
It serves me right

Ignoring problems
The car makes funny noises
Until it doesn’t anymore
At least, that’s what my wife says
A quiet life must be paid for
Whatever comes my way
It serves me right

Face the music
Harsh or tuneful
Get an earful
Question if
It serves you right

Running from shadows
They’ll follow you everywhere
Look for the light source
You will no longer care
The key to the situation
To find the right viewpoint
It serves me right
