Song information
It is time for a little style change. You may think "He forgot to take his pill" when you hear this.

Years ago I wrote a song called Moments That Matter as a request from my wife for a work event. And later I made a version for my own work place. The lyrics were sort of corporate BS. So I also made a punk version just for fun. It was never published because I did not know how to make distorted guitar sound right. I have since learned. Power chords! That is the secret.

I had a lot of fun making this including the horrible picture of me as an angry old punk. I hope you get the humor. And as Billy Joel sang - "It's Still Rock and Roll to Me".

I'd better take my pill now

Lyrics
Punk Moments (Kenneth Lavrsen)

The moments you don't dare
Moments of pain and sorrow
People don't care
People that are gone tomorrow

Deserted land
A polluted beach
The oil in the sand
No help within reach

It's the moments that matter
The moments you should have felt free
It's the moments we all take for granted
It's all anarchy

You can roar like a lion
A battle you just cannot win
Again and again will you feel like
a prisoner trapped in your skin

Always feeling shy
Living with a closed mind
Darkness in the sky
Friendship always hard to find

Pretended smile
The clothes that you wear
The very latest style
We just don't care

Punky plays tetherball while the house burns down around him, left out of the lyric, that's the modern.  Billi Joel or MC5? The Neil Sedaca of punk!  Screamo next.  Bravo!

@Wyndsok melodic pop-punk. Yeah. I listened to the Pistols to get some ideas of their playing style. I was never a punk guy. I was a geek guy. But I did like the Pistols back then. It was something new and not so far from the hard rock I listened to in my childhood years. And I hate political correctness and I love people taking the p*ss on the established

@Smileygeezer Maybe I will make some more harder rock now that I finally found the formular to getting the right guitar riff sound. Originally I just naively fed six strings to an amplifier/pedal stack with full distortion. That sounds like a jet taking off. Power Chords 2 or 3 strings, root and 5th. And a lot of tweaking of the sound and it sounds decent. A real guitar is still better

Indeed you haven't accustomed us to this style of music but I must confess you have succeeded in this change of style. Guitar sounds almost real. Very nice solo.

@Dyl I will probably not make many punk songs but I will surely use distorted guitar again in songs. And my strange sense of humor will also play a role again :-)

@Telemetry Thanks a lot. That singing style was hard on my voice back when I did it. I remember having a soar throat the rest of the day. But it was fun
