They worked through the day, not to exceed eight hours.

Would be nice to hear the story behind the song Luke and to see the lyrics. Would also be interesting to see what you think of the other music on the forum. I thought it was well put together and had a bit of balls

Thanks pompeyjazz I appreciate the feedback :)

I was listening to music a few months ago and I was in a bluesy mood listening to some greats in a Smokey haze and as with most music it set a tone and sent my mind back to a woman I once dated. Who a couple of years after we dated started dating my house mate. I warned him constantly that she was bad news not that he listened. So I guess the lyrics are a version of the convos we would have.

After putting the lyrics down I sat n recorded a rough cut with my phone and a guitar. After showing my other musician friends we decided to use my friends home studio to put the track down. After a few different versions/mixes we came to the final version and here we are..

It was a lot of fun to make :) lyrics and feedback to follow

Luke

The Wicked Witch

1st Verse

I'll burn every bridge I cross
 avoid that girl at any cost
As certain as I've ever been
To never see that face so mean
Coz she's the devil oh it's true
Watch out when her sights on you
Duck and cover ,hide n run
She's broken stronger just for fun   
Chicks bad juju storms will follow
Not finished till she leaves ya hollow
Think  I'm crazy wait and see
Shes comin for you once she's done with me

Chorus

Coz that witch . She needs get gone
C'mon Tell me I'm wrong

2nd Verse

Oh she's the worst,the girls a curse
And you know shes crazy
Vengeful, obsessed ain't no lady
I ain't playin
She's the worst is all I'm sayin
 flee the scene, run a mile
Can't you see that the woman is vile


Chorus

And that bitch . She needs to get gone
Tell me I'm wrong


3rd Verse

She'll raise all kinds of hell
Call her bluff but there's no tell
Tell me brother are you blind
naive or just out your mind
Fan with fire fuel the flame
Left with just yourself to blame
You know she's trouble
The Girls bad news
Play her game you're gonna lose

Unexpected vibe. When the vid started I'm thinking Audioslave or similar and then this bluesy jazzy sound comes oozing out. Nice moody piece, excellent video.

Hi LDM

Very soulful vocal delivery,almost melodic rapping. I didn't watch the video as i find it distracts from the music,so no valid comment there. Nice space in the music,which I like. Filling every available space with noise gets tiring on the ears,I'm glad you didn't do that. The lead guitar passages I thought were fussy and overdone,it sounded like the player was showing off,rather than playing for the song. Minor niggles aside,I enjoyed the track.

Nice jazzy/funky vibe and strong vocals, would go down well live. I would take the funky guitar down a little in the mix, as I think it dominates (might be the reason for Steng's comment?).

Hi, sounded like a professional recording. Nicely played and arranged. Sounded like blues sung on the style of Craig David, which may or may not be a good thing, depending on your musical taste ;).enjoyed it!
Cheers

Good looking video!!!  Nice modern take bluesy guitar.  I liked the weird timing at the start - kind of disorientating until my head got synced with the beat, in a good way.  Are you planning on promoting it in any way - manager/record label/radio....?

Thanks for all the feedback everyone!

Some great points obviously wasn't all me esp not recording wise. As for whether I had plans for the song its for people to listen to and enjoy that's all I really want but getting my reach further would always be great. Love some of the stuff on here and great to have people like yourselves keeping thing positive. The song is available on iTunes if you like the song :) keep up the good work guys
