For some reason, I wanted to start with bass. which doesn't quite happen, but the song's sort of about some things it's easy to get me to think about - creating, fighting, and hrm hrm hrm. I wanted to get something out and down, because I know I won't make it to all the songs unless I take advantage of the moments I have- so I'm not particularly precious about it, but all the pieces are there. Forgive me all for using a drum loop - hoping to have live drums on some things this year, but this one was naked without /any/.
Let’s get going
Doesn’t take a lot to get me going
A long held glance or a scent of knowing
The haze of a midnight tryst
Or clarity of a complete trust
Gettin to be that time
Gettin to be feeling fine
Let’s get going
Never took much to get me going
Perceived offense or just a ribbing
With those crazy flying fists
No good thing I couldn’t bust
Getting to be that time
Getting to be that time
Let's get going
Wouldn’t take much to get me going
Pages on pages of rabid writing
Moments ago this didn’t exist
All falls out of me in a rush
Let's get going

I think @smudged really hit on something with it being like Cake. It definitely reminds me a lot of that style of music. Sounded great. The guitar is nice and upfront. Good way to get your FAWM going

Nice! I feel it's reminiscent of Cake, but with a much fuller background. The various parts have nice separation, and the bass comes through nicely and crisply!

@midwayfair it's direct - I know you like to know Which Stuff:
MIJ P-Bass/EMG's - Neve RND1 DI - Presonus StudioLive - Logic Amp Egg sim

Awesome bass playing Brennan. The bass also SOUNDS really good, it's got a lot of weight to it but it's easy to pick out even on headphones. Was that played direct, or did you mic an amp?

Cool song! Shades of Lou Reed, great grove during the lets get going part.

I don't think that using a drum loop is bad. Actually it has been a good decision because it's all about the bass. You got the groove!
