Feb 2022 lo-fi acoustic-rock
Something simple to start with, lo-fi acoustic rock, and the latest in a series of animal songs which I've just realised I do.
Following on from my songs about whales, polar bears and horses, here's something which isn't a mammal.
I recorded this using my traditional setup, and I'm not overly happy with the audio quality. Instruments and vocals are fine, but there's a lot of hiss and clicks which I was ̶t̶o̶o̶ ̶l̶a̶z̶y̶ unable to edit out. Might come back to that later.
Gave me the chance to play with various instruments, though. I settled with acoustic guitar, glockenspiel, hi hat and a hand clap. I'm aware all my songs are like this, shut up.
I'm so confused
With thirty legs
It's tricky when I run
My friends tell me
To put my best foot
Forward, but which one?
I never wanted
To spend hours
Putting on my boots
But because I'm
A centipede
It's not like I can choose
I strike my prey
With deadly fangs
Emerging from their sheath
Though sadly due
To poison there
It's hard to brush my teeth
I live inside
A rotting tree
I never see the sun
Oh, the life of
A centipede
Is not what I'd call fun

Ha! I like it. The glock added just the layer the song needed, just at the right time. "But which one?"
