Just tryin' to get through this weekend. ;) Too much exhausting fun.
I have a sample pack called "Abstract Beats" by Code Sounds. They are 4 bar drum/percussion/noise bits that I'm using as a basis for all my tracks. A preview of the pack is available here:

Loop: Abstract Beats 52
Guitars: '73 Fender Stratocaster
Amp: '78 Marshall Mk II

Note: Skirmish: 1 hour to write and record
Constructive criticism is always welcome. Tell me all about it!
Rest Stop
Put on the brakes
I can't take any more
I got the shakes
'bout to fall out on the floor
For heaven's sake
Turn out the lights, lock the door
Take me to the rest stop
Feelin' like I'm burned to the core
Been drivin' it hard
Time to be slowin' it down
Travelled a long way
Tryin' to come up with a sound
Just a few minutes
Feel better after walkin' around
Take me to the rest stop
Let me get my feet on the ground

I think I said this last time I listened to one of your songs. This makes me want to write to a big heavy driving beat. And to dance without moving too much.
Great lyrics too, and this is a good bed for them.
Feels like driving late at night with trucks and fog and jersey barriers, this song on the radio, and way too much information coming in

Not sure how I missed this earlier?! Driving beat, crunchy guitars? I’m IN.
The words and way you’ve captured them really illustrate that weary for a break, a rest. Quality!

Yes! I really love this driving beat and heavy bass feel. Fits the lyrics perfectly! Awesome job on the skirmish!
@tcelliott Feb 2022
Damn good intro. That's a heavy beat and backer. Really digging this.
@pattie Feb 2022
Great upbeat rocking sound! I really liked "Feelin' like I'm burned to the core" - great skirmish!
@unpronounceable Feb 2022
I feel like your instrumentation and music really support the line "Been drivin' it hard". I really like your last line too, "Let me get my feet on the ground". Thanks for skirmishing!

This really rocks! The music really complements the feeling of being burned out. Good vocal and all around vibe of "Feelin' like I'm burned to the core". Enjoyed it!
