Waiting For The Other Shoe To Drop – bemuzic – A (very!) rough demo of a new song

I just filmed this for myself so I could hear it from the outside, if that makes sense?! ….then thought I might as well share it.
Recorded completely unplugged and I just used the video sound. Added some reverb and turned the volume UP to make it slightly distorted in Adobe Premiere Elements 4.
Thought I did well to keep playing through that earthquake!!!
Vocals might not be too easy to hear so here are the lyrics:

WAITING FOR THE OTHER SHOE TO DROP

THE LIGHT IS SLOWLY FADING
TOMORROW BLEEDS INTO TODAY
RABBITS PLAYING IN THE ROAD
MY MUSCLES SLOWLY TIGHTEN AGAIN

CHORUS
IF NOW’S THE ONLY TIME I HAVE
WHY DO I RUN AWAY AND HIDE
WAITING FOR THE OTHER SHOE TO DROP
BUT IT STILL TAKES ME BY SURPRISE

A TELEPHONE IS RINGING
SOMEWHERE INSIDE MY MIND
THE TV NEWS FIRES BULLETS AT ME
AND I FLY AWAY

CHORUS

IS THIS THE LAST DAY OF THE WEEK?
I DON’T KNOW WHEN TO SAY GOODBYE
PHOTOS FADING IN AN ALBUM
I DON’T FEEL LIKE THEY ARE MINE

CHORUS

Love this one, vocal is great even if the sound balance wasn't ideal due to circumstances.
Not sure about the idea of drums but certain that it's not bonkers to hear them in your head. Just remember that if enough people do something then it becomes normal even if it wasn't previously.

thanks Dan and HB...and funny you should say about the drums, it was going round in my head this morning and I was hearing drums with it : -) (is it normal to have music and drums going around in your head???) and I had a dream the other night that I was drumming...think I need to make some kind of home made drum set up!! The wok lid sounds pretty good...and a wheelie bin hit with a Teva is a good bass drum sound!!..............
