Song information
This is another moldy oldie from back in 2006.

Although I still have the original file stems, they were each saved
in finished form, so I was limited to doing further EQ-ing since
they were already compressed.

Anyway, this is a socio-political song from an Independent perspective.

Back when I was first recording I relished every opportunity to jam
on lead guitar, and I’m afraid it shows!

There’s some tasty licks in this one. Hope some of you can enjoy it.

Be well my friends!

Lyrics
THE FALL & THE IMPACT

I
Well I woke up This morning to begin anew.
I was feeling pretty groggy… didn’t think things through.
Knelt by the mantlepiece to take a pebble from my shoe;
but the flower pot’s wobblin’ on the edge of the sill,
and if the fall don’t get me then the impact will.

II
Says my radical brother: “It’s a brand new day!”
“Oh, we don’t listen any longer what the wise men say.”
“We got to build from scratch—forget the old ways;”
but the boulder’s rollin’ down the side of the hill,
and if the fall don’t get us then the impact will!

III
Well the Left wants revolution and the Right wants war!
Doesn’t anyone remember what we came here for?
That cheesy grin of yours soon turn to a frown…
when the activist judges and the neo-COM profs
bring the gulag to your town.

IV
Will we turn back people and start anew,
—restore the foundations ‘fore the game is through?
Or will we trash our last chance to avert the doom?
The sword of Damocles is hangin’ over us still,
and if the fall don’t KILL us
then the impact will!

Love your twangy guitars and their conversation with each other. There’s lots of wit and humor here, lots to enjoy. An old but very cool one Mike.

Hey thanks Charlie! I only wish that rhythm guitar had been recorded better. I would have re-recorded it but for the life of me I can't figure out the chord progression for that long instrumental break in the middle! Lol ...

Thank you Matt. Song probably could have been a bit shorter but I was obsessed at that point with playing lead guitar!

Wow Steve ... You brought up one of my favorite guitarists... the late great Mr. West. Love him along with Martin Barre and Ritchie Blackmore (and a host of others of course. The list is long!).
Thanks for lending an ear friend!

Back in the day I was actually able to plays leads better than I am now after injuring both my left and right hands in the intervening years betwixt then and now. In this and other long early pieces I indulged my guitar-hero delusions! Lol ... Thankfully I finally learned how to craft shorter songs with tighter arrangements. Still, this one evokes feelings of nostalgia for me. I'm glad to see you enjoyed it!

Hi'ya Shaun!  
We're never too old to rock and roll if we're too young to die... and methinks it's not yet time to fly.
Thanks for listening and commenting friend!

Thanks Gemma for listening and commenting on this moldy oldie!
FYI....
 I'm currently working on a cover of the old English folk song "Molly Bond." You just might like it. Joyce Dorrance joins me on ghostly BGVs and also .sings a verse.
Be well!
