Nevermore (I Swear, I Swore)

Liner Notes:

More notes soon. From the WK100 project (see my profile). Started life during FAWM 2014....

Looking for final mix notes, 4 hours work polishing it to this.... 2 to go before close of 5090, maybe 3

I have a list of 15 listens to repay (so far) forgive me if they (and any more) come on Saturday... I usually post and then listen, but right now... it's "Thunderbirds Are Go!" in the Wolfcave.

I hope you enjoy!

Hugs, Wolf.

Lyrics:

Nevermore (I Swear, I Swore) by Wolf Kier
Copyright Wolf Kier 2014 2016 2021 wk038

I'm sorry that you feel like that
I'm listening you want me back
We've been here once or twice before
I swear, I swore, nevermore

I swear, I swore, nevermore
You can't believe that you're doing me a favor!
I swear, I swore, I swear, I swore,
nevermore, nevermore

Something salty on your lips
That ain't the taste of fish'n'chips
This hound dog been around too long
Say Picaso, it rhymes with....++++

I swear, I swore, nevermore
You can't believe that you're doing me a favor!
I swear, I swore, I swear, I swore,
nevermore, nevermore

You stand in my doorway (nevermore...)
Hope ain't the cure (nevermore...)
I swear I swore last time (nevermore...)
(nevermore...)

Wake up!

The crucifix burns where it touches your skin
If Satan came calling, baby, you'd let him in
I'm listening, you want me back
I'm sorry that you feel like that

I swear, I swore, nevermore
You can't believe that you're doing me a favor!
I swear, I swore, I swear, I swore,
nevermore, nevermore

You can't believe that you're doing me a favor!
nevermore, nevermore

Comments

The lyric is rather harsh on the 'you' isn't it! Wow. As always, splendid production and arrangement here! The percussion in the you stand in my doorway section is a treat.

The bass... the sound... it's attractive! Maybe the bass is a bit too timid between 1.11 and 1.33? The percussion provides extra groove, as do the tambourine (nice stop-go!) Yeah....cool song!

Lyrics are catchy… nice perc hits in the breaks… love the growl… rhythm… danceable in a grinding way - lol! Gonna miss these daily treats! Couple more? Alright! See you in February!

I love those deep tones and the how fast you almost spit out the lyrics but draw out some of the last lines. Good grief, this is a SOLID song! Those breaks with just the bass and percussion are really effective. Really nice work on this, everything sounds nicely balanced and it working together quite nicely.

I have to say being away for a week or so and being behind on returning comments has really made me miss your sound.

I love all the extra percussion and drum/bass interplay here is pheneomenal. That bass tone is delicious. Ton of grit to this without it feeling angry....hard to do. If I had any note it would be the censored whistle, it almost stands out too much, but then that serves a purpose as well. I think its fine how it is, but can't help but think just............... a rhymes with(some incoherent garbled growling or something) just might make it less jarring. Just a thought! Another really great track though!
