Not been on in a while but this is a collab I did with my pal John Vaughan.
John wrote most of the lyrics and I put the tracks together.
I think it has a swampy feel.
Comments welcome,
Vic

GATOR IN THE SWAMP © 2020 Vaughan/Arnold
V
She was never really mine
It was just my turn
For a while it was fine
but in time I learned
Can't reason with a gator
With your head in its mouth
So I gave up trying
& headed on out
C
There's a gator in the swamp
Get eaten or run?
She don't need a menu
as long as there's a pulse
There's a gator in the swamp
Get eaten or ruuun ..........?
.......... ruuun .......
V
No blonde hairs
sticking out of my comb
Hands in my pocket
they're my very own
No creaks on stairs
When she sneaks home
The bed's now bare
and this bear's gone
Chorus
Inst.
B
Goodbye to you hoo F#m
Goodbye to you A
V
Waitress in the diner
she works real hard
Always got a smile
even when she's tired
My proposition,
we should conspire
Burn our bridges
Leave the gator in the fire

Goodbye to you hoo
Goodbye to you

Vic,

A good song.

An engaging vocal. A very nice production and mix.

(As you are aware, getting involved is key...)

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Wow - I love when you hear a tune and you can tell it was as fun to make as it is to listen to. Top notch work on the vocal performance, and I thought it was really well mixed too.

Thanks for sharing!

Vic, your backing tracks were spot on for this song. Your mix was excellent. Your vocal was really strong but those lyrics are what took it over the top for me.

This was a fun song to listen too and I get the impression that you had fun doing this!

Vic (and John),

So well done . . . production is simple and clean, but all the song needs to support an excellent vocal and sweet harmonies. A toe-tapper! Good stuff!

My best to both of you,

Hi Mario.
Thanks. Yes mostly Johns lyrics apart from the odd line here and there to get it to work in the arrangement.

Lotta fun Vic. Got that Tony Joe vibe going...a good thing.

Actually a lot of good things - like the vocals (great harmony),
the write and the mix. Be nice to know what tracks you used.

Welcome back with a very cool tune!

Hi Jan & Bud
Nice to hear from you.
Thanks for the like. Can't remember what tracks I used. Sometimes I write over them to steal a riff from somewhere.
