Hi guys,
It's been awhile since I posted anything here, due to RL situations, but I saw this shorty comp and thought I'd enter this song just for fun. ;D
I worked on this a few years ago, so I thought I'd rework it for this comp. If it has to be something brand new, then I won't enter it.


https://soundcloud.com/crystalsuzy/suspend-my-karma


I'm dialing 911 and I'm hoping to get
God on the line cause I haven't yet
My life's a mess and I'm sorry to say
I can't seem to reach him any other way

There's gotta be a way to over-ride
That big computer in the sky
Akashic records aren't written in stone
So come on God, give me a loan
I promise I'll be good and change my ways
Suspend my karma for a couple of days

It's tough enough down here on earth
Temptations all around at every turn
And this free will stuff, what's that all about
I'd be better off with a tail and a snout
I really don't know where your head was at
When you separated humans from the rats

And this cause and effect stuff's getting me down
Cause the rotten crap keeps coming around
So don't blame me if I've screwed up
You made the rules and they really suck
So come on God, answer my call
We gotta find a way to break my fall

I'm dialing 911 and I'm hoping to get
God on the line cause I haven't yet
My life's a mess and I'm sorry to say
I can't seem to reach him any other way

Really good and playful.
I don't care for the shorty comp but this song really doesn't seem cut short.
An enjoyable listen. 
It's either this or that, then again it might be the other. 

I can promise you a future of slow decline.

And there you have it.

Hi @crystalsuzy Missed hearing your wonderfully inventive and creative composition. This is wacky and wild and wonderful. So much going on it deserves multiple listens. Well I've got a few minutes spare so here we go again  :) Top drawer stuff  :)

Yeah, like others I've missed your songs popping up and messing with my head.
Loads crammed in here, and loved the idea like a minute long prayer but not the kind of prayer you usually hear!

Love the squeaky 80s synths, reminds me of John Grant in places.

Super entry  :)

Hi Suzy,

Your recordings zing with nuttiness and invention. I'd know one anywhere even before you start singing. This is well up to your usual standard. I found it funny but profound at the same time. All the work that goes into these tracks - like a Faberge egg for the ears.

You've done such a great job here Suzy that you completely blew away my pre-listen misgivings about spokenword rather than singing.

The vocal fits perfectly over that neat backing and the bvs and little asides woven in really make this quite a work of art.

Nicely done.
Take it easy.

You can check my stuff out here. Mini-album getting bigger slowly. Free download if you're poorer than me.

Wow! I totally agree with your lyrics! I find a lot of us think the same... Funny way to claim, a wonderful way to make others feel good.
See you.

Hi Suzy

Good song - good lyrics!  ;D
Wins the prize for most lyrics in one minute too.
I couldn't make out some of the lyrics w/o reading along but prob just me had that problem.

Solid work!
