Feb 2022 alternative singer-songwriter guitar
This is a tune I've had knocking around in my head for some years. I decided it would be a good place to start. Originally I was going to record using voice memo, but Logic kept calling my name (and getting a good one-take was too much work). It's still very rough. I just threw it together and threw some lyrics down. But I kind of love it in all it's rough-around-the-edges glory. Big tip of the hat to Uncle Bob P. on this one, I think.
Forgiveness likes to find us in the dark
Run inside to hide out from the rain
Pinned-on flags will never make you brave
Cold comfort from a cold heart
Polly-Anna’s sticking to her guns
We’re always finding out a bit too late
It goes well when I don’t care that much
Cold comfort from a cold heart
Whoever thought they’d get this far?
What doesn’t turn to dust, the crows pick away
Second chances find us in the fog
It matters to you what the neighbors say
Being foolish isn’t being brave
Cold comfort from a cold heart

Great song. I love the line "Pinned-on flags will never make you brave." Powerful! The driving guitars match the vocals and lyrics perfectly.

Uncle Bob would be proud. Would fit right in with Under the Bushes Under the Stars

Wow the production on this one really sneaks up on you. So well done. Incredible rhythm playing it’s so driving - I don’t usually notice rhythm playing particularly but it’s so good. Chorus is really great too especially when it’s about to break into the bridge.

Brilliant! You're a great lyricist - I was surprised to read they were "threw down", since a repeated big hit line like "cold comfort from a cold heart" is something I'd spend a lot of time searching for. Plus I'm always a sucker for an electric and acoustic guitar combo.

Great song. Has that Springsteen/Neil Young vibe that is right up my street.

Got power. Got drive. Like the "Cold Comfort from a Cold Heart" hook
@kanttila Feb 2022
The guitars are ready to burst out from the start. Restless sounding and very strong doubling up with acoustic and electric. I like how percussion comes in on the second verse and the electric guitar loosens up. Mad cool rhythm change up for the bridge.
The main line is a great hook Well done!

Nice rocker with great vocals and guitars! I loved this line "Forgiveness likes to find us in the dark" and that bridge is stellar! Nice work here!
@unkept Feb 2022
The guitar layering is nice and the refrain like quite good!! Nice work.
