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

thanks Prof!...that little 2 stringer is surprisingly loud!

Hope the vid didn't make you feel too ill. Forgot to say it might help if you jump around while watching it : -)

Great to hear more singing from you, you have a wonderful voice and that guitar has some great sound, WOW !

Now..., where'd I put those motion-sickness pills. hahaha

I like the song -- the shaking camera gets to be a bit much to watch after a while :)

This is excellent Belinda! A great song and brilliant performance! This is just so good I don't know what else to say.... And you did it all while enduring an earthquake! Outstanding!
