Description
The online jammers lament.
I had this concept lying around for a while .. and yesterday I tripped over it, and got a little inspiration in the form of some of the melody of this: I found myself whistling it as I came up the stairs.
My go at being more subtle and genteel .. er.. than normal .. and .. er.. no acoustic or electric guitars (just bass) this time.
I tried something unusual with the arrangement: a kinda outer and inner song structure, with enough 'bleed' from the outer into the inner to make them sound together in some way.
Enjoy. (sorry about the pop at the start, not sure what is causing that)
PS. I'm sure someone can sing this better than me, volunteers welcome, just let me know if you're working on it.
Influences: on reflection, prolly "Erin Shore" by the Corrs (outer) and the Black Crowes (implies 3rd generation Rolling Stones) for the inner. I find you can amuse yourself going "woo woo" like in 'Sympathy for the Devil' everynow and again .. ;o)
Coverart: is apparently "Mr. Fortune" :o) .. seemed appropriate.

Lyrics
Well hell yeah there,
Y'all listening online.
I'm sure you got a new tune coming,
An' that's just fine.
But do you want money?
Fame?
Hmm.. girls?
Or lots more money?
Do you want someone to drive you round,
In a shiny limousine?
An' a model or two?
To share the dream.
But there's no rewards,
In those chords.
Playing to your friends,
For some applauds.
It's that thankless kinda livin',
That we do best.
Just keep on rollin',
An' to hell with the rest.
Cos' someday, eventually,
When this river ends,
They're be some real sour cat, that,
Missed their dividends.
We'll have money,
Fame,
Girls,
But no rewards,
We'll have money,
Fame,
Girls,
With no rewards,
No rewards,
No rewards.

We'll have money,
Fame,
Girls,
With no rewards,
No rewards,
No rewards.

... of Alan.
excellent tune. i really dig the transition from the gentle opening to the point you just get down and funky.
