I started today's song, Thirty-Two Steps, while messing about with a software synth on my mac. The phone ringing at the end is real though. Just the sound of me screening my calls. Actually I was so close to the end of the take, I figured I'd just leave it in.
Enjoy
Thirty-Two Steps
It’s thirty-two steps up to your place
Thirty-two ways to make a break
Too many times I look away
Too many lines across my face
Thirty-two years have gone to waste
Looking around for what to chase
Making it hard to keep the pace
Thirty-two steps up to your place
Thirty-two weeks of all this same
Making it hard to play this game
Never did feel the lurid shame
Never had need to lay the blame
Thirty-two tears have all been cried
This is a hell of a long ride
Counting the days as they collide
Thirty-two steps are far and wide
Thirty-Two steps up to your place
Finding a place to hide the blade
Never admit it’s all decayed
Too damn scared to be afraid
Thirty-Two nights of empty rage
Thirty-two words upon this page
Thirty-two ways to be betrayed
Thirty-two steps up to your place

Hey, I think I need to get some credit for my instrumental contributions (i.e. the phone ringing). It really makes the song :) ~A
Nice work. Sounds like a cross between Andy Stochansky and the Violent Femmes. If you'd asked me I'd have said it could've been done. But you have proved me wrong quite smoothly.
I like this one a lot Rich!
Really grooves while remaining constrained...
Feels like it's ready to blow wide open in a screaming "Adrian Belew solo" kind of way. Know what I mean?
I like this one rich.. love the beat
