I began this song before the viral emergency, I was trying to create a strong beat. The lyrics came after our isolation. Lead vocal was recorded through a vintage PA mic I found at a yard sale for $2.

Viral Song

I told you before, got to keep your distance
you're out of control, I got no resistance
you got no right to threaten my existence
Please just go away

It's easy to see you got no heart
mistress of evil, you play the part
It's got to end before it starts
Please just go away
Please just go away

I've been polite, I said what's right
sat with you all through the night
but please just go away

there once was a time you could be mine
we'd snuggle close and drink your wine
and through the haze, I miss those days
I had to leave, I could not stay

You come to my house like a death machine
I need relief, I need a vaccine
now I'm more scared than I've ever been
please just go away
You're here inside, but you never asked
I didn't expect you, I wear a mask
my feelings for you, are in the past
please just go away
please just gp away
I've had enough today
please just go away

I really like this Will. Great intro and ending. I love the vocal effects plus the change in the bridge, great work. Great harmonies, mix, and instrumentation.

This is super good!

Some interesting element in that.
Like the vibe on the vocals.
Just imagine what you could do with a $4 mic.

Fantastic recording. What a great sound. I love the Fx on the vocals and then it's off on the one verse. Perfect. Outstanding electric guitar. Great use of BIAB too. Nice job here.

Real nice, Will! Something a little different for us ... in a good way. Perhaps bringing the bass more forward in the mix would give it a little more musical impact. Nonetheless, it's one of my favorites from you. Good message .

Take care and be safe ...

Really interesting song, Will. It all centers around that well-spent $2. I really like how you gathered the right musicians, then mixed them in with a sort of theme of sound. Works well!! The harmonies give the sense of this-is-the-part-we-all-sing. Interesting and effective choice to NOT affect the vocal on one verse.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Thanks for the comments and suggestions. I forgot to mention this is the first time I've played bass myself, on a 60's Hofner Beatle bass copy.

Loved this, the radio effect on the voice gave this in my opinion a legendary sound like video killed the radio star minted.

Thanks

Very well done. Great vocal. Overall, musically, terrific. The lyrics don't always make sense to me (my feelings for you are in the past, for example).
