Last year Scott recorded an instrumental, Oeming Rd I thought one of his best. I often hear snippets of lyrics listening to instrumentals and Scott was kind enough to let me run with ideas for a song based on his track. Pendulum RealTracks in song: 564:Bass, Electric, Blues Monday Sw 065 RealTracks in song: ~~425:Organ, B3, Background Blues Sw 120 RealTracks in style: ~530:Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Hank Sw 085 RealTracks in song: 2624:Guitar, Baritone Electric, Rhythm BluesShuffleBassAndLicks Sw 085 RealDrums HardRockShuffle Scott`s Guitars: Gretsch/Marshall amp,DLX Purdy Loops:Floyd`s handclaps/Guiro 8ths Pendulum white bird cries at sunrise blackbird laughs at the moon sailor dreams in his hammock crazy cat swings from the boom at sea in his glass tower upside man watches numbers fall missed the buy on Gravity between the sword and the wall listen to the clock in the cupboard babe hums along laid out in death bed beauty old man nods in delerium time winds down on the pendulum will you sway with me who are we where do we come from where are we going who are we where do we come from where are we going from New York to north of Never Never downside man sails from the lagoon starts to swing in his hammock crazy cat bothers the moon listen to the clock in the cupboard babe hums along laid out in death bed beauty old man nods in delerium time winds down on the pendulum will you sway with me time winds down on the pendulum will you sway with me © Robert Cordrey Sept. 2019

'Robertkc' & 'ScottC'... Whoa! This Pendulum track somethin' ELSE  . Love the swaggering, momentous, 'boom, bop-ba-boom' rhythm (sounded like a MONSTER was chasing me -- YIKES !!! I gotta get outta here :o), the steady, patterned rain of echoic blue notes on the 'lectric guitar, the wildly mystical lyrics and their incantational vocal delivery, the tick-tick-ticking scratch of the guiro, all combining to conjure up a spine-tingling atmosphere. It’s kaleidoscopic musical experience, gents! - bluage -

Interesting stuff...the percussion loop kept grabbing my attention - probably becasue the rhythm was a little different to the drums and my head was trying to reconcile them.
Cool, impressionistic almost German Expressionistic images from the lyric.
Cool stuff.

Nicely done! It makes for a unique and engaging listen, and it is certainly attention grabbing. Nicely catchy, and your voice pairs with the instrumentation gorgeously. Thanks for sharing 
Cheers,

Robert/Scott...
A very cool overall sound. Interesting BAND - Scott's guitar fits in nicely. (I thought the rasp was louder than it needed to be). As a whole, thouhg, it works nicely.
An interesting lyric - as always. Your vocals on these style rock songs work really well - a real "personality" to them. (I thought it was "back" just slightly more than it needed to be).
Unique and original.

There's enough fine imagery within this tune for at least a couple of videos.
If you're gonna write something as creative as this it certainly helps to have an equally creative band.
And to have the vocal chops to pull it off and, of course, to have a fine guitar picker.
And then you have to put all that together with a creative arrangement and mix.
You scored on all those aspects.
As Blueage aptly said, "spine-tingling atmosphere."
Really cool!

I worked on changing up that rhythm- its meant to sound on the edge of being "wrong" and still good. Thanks for your comments. Robert/Scott...

fj Floyd, A tough one to mix, this- I`ll have another listen to the percussion and vocal levels. BTW I used your Flamenco Claps, removing the single claps to put in the Guiro. Thanks as always for your helpful feedback. Robert

Excellent writing, as usual! Good vocal too.
Mix wise I thought the vocal could have been louder, especially during the chorus when the guiro comes in.
I like the little instrumental bits from Scott, really worked well.
Cool ending! What is that BTW?
Another good collaboration, nicely done Robert and Scott!

Robert (and Scott),
Terrific intro . . . intrigues the ear and pulls you right in. Love the vocals . . . very Chris Isaak sound to it. The solo guitar slays. Not sure I’m crazy about the guiro in the chorus I think if that’s what I’m hearing—I found it a little distracting, but that’s a subjective thing and it doesn’t seem to have struck anyone else similarly, so give it what little weight it may be due. Cool, imaginative, poetic lyrics . . . great stuff!
All the best,
Deej

Hi Robert,
Nice job with every aspect of the production, as usual. What is the upside man and the downside man, are those nautical terms? They didn't google for me.

Really cool! I really appreciate those positive comments,J&B...any videographers wanting to use this as soundtrack for a dystopian epic are most welcome! Sounded like the shadows on the start, I thought it was going to be an instrumental. then the vocals kicked in,
Nice write and arrangement well done guys ,

Enjoyed minor chording and Scott's fine playing. The chorus is quite catchy, I also like that strange rhythm of that crazy cuckoo clock combined with some strange chords and guiro. The baritone guitar sounds familiar  I didn't quite get into the lyrical landscape, but "time winds down on the pendulum will you sway with me" part contains intriquing mystery. Janne

Hi Robert and Scott,
I love this one!
The blues shuffle is a perfect backdrop for some really poweful lyric imagery. Stunning.
What really captivated me was how a guiro sound in even eight notes sat so well with a backing in swing eight notes. Normally these two combinations of rhythm are antagonistic to one another. In the hands of your two, though, the effect is magical. To my ears it the guiro sound was a 'tic--tictoc tic--tictoc' sound that suited the concept of clocks and pendulums really well. Wonderful prosody!
All the best,
Noel

Scott & Robert ...
What a terrific and interesting song! The b/g tracks fit just right but I would never have thought to put them together ... kudos to you gentlemen for having that creative approach! loved the lyric and Scott's guitar blazed through exactly as it should have. Loved everything about it!
Wishing both of you the best ...
