Liner Notes

I don't know if this will be the title but it seems like it might be fun to have a go at #commentsfirst now that I have some time off work for a couple of weeks.

I'll see what happens with the first four or five, perhaps. Please don't make me have to buy any new gear :).

EDIT: Well, I tried :). This was educational, if nothing else. It's #nerdfolk meets #klezmer I suppose. Maybe. I believe the scale is "A Freygish" but please correct me if I'm wrong.

There is a lot of help from #bandinabox here, because there really had to be!

You may recognise https://xkcd.com/349/ in the plot

Lyrics

[A][Dm]
[A][Dm]
[Gm][Dm]
[Bb][Gm][A][Dm]

It's [A]needed for security, is [Dm]what my colleague said
And [A]when there is a problem you'll be [Dm]glad to be prepared
It was [Gm]at the water cooler, just a [Dm]little thing I missed
But [Bb]who could have [Gm]predicted it would [A]ever lead to [Dm]this

[Gm][Dm]
[Bb][Gm][A]

I said it's [A]just a simple upgrade and it's [Dm]needed anyhow
[A]Half an hour's all it takes, sup[Dm]pose I'll do it now
[Gm]Do it while it's quiet, so it's [Dm]ready for the crunch
And it's [Bb]coming up to [Gm]one o'clock, I'll [A]run it over [Dm]lunch

[Gm][Dm]
[Bb][Gm][A]

[Dm]Double click the icon, don't [Bb]need to wait too long
[Dm]Who knows what could [Gm]possibly go
[A]Wrong?[Dm][Bb][Gm][A]

But [A]when I came back to the desk I [Dm]couldn't even boot 'er
I [A]had a shiny brick where I [Dm]once had a computer
And [Gm]all that I had left to try through [Dm]hours of frustration
Was the [Bb]last resort of [Gm]threatening ex[A]treme defenest[Dm]ration

[Gm][Dm]
[Bb][Gm][A]

[Dm]Double click the icon, don't [Bb]need to wait too long
[Dm]Who knows what could [Gm]possibly go
[A]Wrong?[Dm][Bb][Gm][A]

[A]Does it have to fall apart? [Dm]Why is everything so hard?
[A]Is it haunted, am I cursed? [Dm]Why does nothing ever work?
[Gm][Dm]
[Bb][Gm][A][Dm]

As it [Dm]sailed beyond the window, [Bb]carried by the breeze
I was [Dm]swept with the laptop into [Gm]shark infested [A]seas

[A][Dm]
[A][Dm]
[Gm][Dm]
[Bb][Gm][A]

And it's [A]only getting worse, I'm going to [Dm]give up on this lark
I'll [A]maybe switch to Apple once I [Dm]drive away the sharks
Or [Gm]perhaps it's time I realised it's [Dm]all a load of junk
I'd [Bb]never have to [Gm]deal with this if [A]I became a [Dm]monk

Elige bis
Non expectare
Quid possit errare

[A]Does it have to fall apart? [Dm]Why is everything so hard?
[A]Is it haunted, am I cursed? [Dm]Why does nothing ever work?
[Gm][Dm]
[Bb][Gm][A]

[Dm]Double click the icon, don't [Bb]need to wait too long
[Dm]Who knows what could [Gm]possibly go
[A]Wrong?[Dm][Bb][Gm][A]

[Dm]

AHAHAHA I love this!!! (and i DO love the shouty bits!!!) extremely relatable, and funny. The boot 'er/computer rhyme is fire and you even worked in a defenestration in that very verse!
[avatar]
OMG!!!!! This is SOOOO brilliant! Hilarious, such a fun listen, and the way you brought in all the elements -- one of the best #commentsfirst songs I've heard -- well done!!!
[avatar]
Okay, I'll draw the line here. I reckon I can do this... Thanks @carleybaer @loveonamixtape @catmisgivings @andygetch, I'll let you know when it's done!

Who knew that a conversation between colleagues could lead to this?
[avatar]
Love the shouty bits :D especially in that rapid fire tempo!
[avatar]
oooh, I love that gorgeous lift in the bridge, and that harmonica solo is brilliant!

The Gregorian chant interlude was a nice surprise in a klezmer tune!
