Hi all. Thought I would give the blues ago.
All comments welcome

Sunshine Shower

You'r like a sunshine shower coming down a summer's day.
You'r like a sunshine shower coming down a summer's day.
But there is something missing you never stopped to catch my name.

I feel a summer breeze wipes the sweat right off my face.
I feel a summer breeze wipes the sweat right off my face.
Curtains billow in the wind reminds of expensive lace.

I'm drinking lemonade ice is melting in my glass.

This slow and funky blues style has an even-eighths feel and a resonator guitar that plays an elaborate blues rhythm part. Electric guitar plays the
B-only arrangement of a classic blues rhythm part while a swampy blues baritone electric guitar plays a chording groove with a tremolo effect.
Classic blues electric bass often ascends or descends chromatically, and deviates from the root in a pentatonic fashion.
FunkHalfNoteSync RealDrums play a funky beat that also works very well in this context.
This song is in the key of D and is a slight variation on a basic twelve-bar blues progression that switches from major to minor in the B section.

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

Sung like a Queenslander in summer.
So hot that it's cool!
I enjoyed this - nice blues and cool narrative.
I'm also pleased you hung onto our parochial, (correct), pronunciation of glass, last etc.
