Feb 2022 rock pop accidents relationships
I was up very late working on music (14 songs in 28 days is NOT going to be easy!) and in a sleep-deprived state hit "send" instead of "delete". Much as I try not to leave words hanging in the air, sometimes there's no taking them back. Just apologies. And always a penalty.
ALWAYS A PENALTY

V1:
Though you tried to take them back
Those words hang in the air
Halfway to the border now
Do you want to disappear?
Is there penance strong enough
To reverse a heinous act
Are there ever penalties
For scurrilous attacks
One foot goes before the other
Damn, your mouth is full!
But I’m used to it now….. (and your bull!)
V2:
Did you mean to tell your sister where you spent your break?
Cameras on the loading dock – yeah, your first mistake
Video is everywhere, everything's on the internet
Can’t get away with squat these days – how could you forget?
There’s always a penalty unless someone else is worth more
But, I’m used it now Go ahead and score
V3:
Stimulus, response – we’re wired that way
Do what it takes – to get through the day
But it’s ever more difficult to gaslight the crowd
There’s always someone who’ll shout silent thoughts out loud
One foot goes before the other, damn you mouth is full
But I’m used to it now Used to it now
There’s always penalties, unless something is worth more
But, I’m used it now Go ahead and score

I love the groove to this and the bluesy feel with the bass. Production is tight. Love the tambo, gotta be my favorite. All the instrumenation during the bridge was super fun! Great tune.

The mix on this song is lovely, I really really like the organ and the drums in particular that organ sound is super warm and gospelly! This is ace, I really like the sport metaphor as well 'There's always a penalty.... Go ahead and score.' Excellent stuff!
