Liner Notes

Neighbours' "noise curfew" over I have now recorded this one.

My unreconstructed narrator reveals his tale of wonder and woe in three verses 😉

Instruments:
Baton Rouge 8 String Baritone Ukulele
PRS Santana Electric Guitar
Backing by Band in a Box

#fuc #baritoneukulele #biab #bandinabox

It is short and sweet and I hope nobody notices it's seven seconds too long. I blame the riff between verses 😜

Lyrics

Intro: (D) (Bm) (A) (D)

(D) I'm all charged up, I am (Bm) ready to (A) go,
Don't (D) want to take this (Bm) nice and (A) slow
(G) "Fools rush in" don't count today
I (A) won't let doubt get in my way
(D) This is it! She's the (Bm) one for (A) sure
She's the (D) one that I've been (Bm) waiting (A) for
The (Em) feeling's mutual I can sense
It's (A) never been so damn intense

I'm all charged up, but something's not right
It started so well, thought we'd never fight
What happened to: "You're the perfect man!"
A screaming match wasn't in the plan
We're in waters better left uncharted
Since this new phase really started
How quick that heat we both did hold
Has left us both out in the cold

I'm all charged up, I'm filled with hate
She's gone off now with my best mate
She said that I'm the one to blame
But till she left I still held the flame
Now I'd never ever take her back
Even if she did backtrack
I've been played in some damn game
Bloody women are all the same!

My absolute favorite part of this is the guitar. The whole way through. If your neighbors didn't stand up and cheer, they should have.

@janeg 4w

That challenge really worked for you! Let youmtake on quite a different and very strong voice.

@hmstreetteam 4w

The music is brilliantly tight with an energy level and edge to match the narrative.

@coolparadisoMod 4w

Love that guitar! Have not heard you rocking so far this year! Must be before your curfew! Can’t beat wonder and woe!

@musicsongwriter 4w

I bet your neighbours would loved hearing your song yesterday. So Much Fun to listen 🎶 to it. Catchy, happy, upbeat. Love it. Brilliant music, vocals and playing. Funny vocals towards the end I was smiling ear to ear. The music is contrasting the lyrics :)

@freshspotlessyouth 4w

Well alright! Love the way this charges straight ahead, catchy and rocking. This'll get 'em fired up in the mosh pit

Music now up for my unreconstructed male's sad tale of betrayal "Charged Up"

@musicsongwriter 4w

Very cleverly written. I'm sorry you couldn't record it tonight but hope to hear it soon.

@hmstreetteam 4w

I love the structure and the storytelling, and it’s a universal tale of the way the energy of the initial optimism gets drained away bit by bit until a different view takes its place. Good job in simplifying the dynamic to squeeze it into three vignettes.

@lyricslinger 4w

I like the way you've used different ways in which people can be charged up as the story unfolds. Look forward to hearing it when the noise curfew lifts!
