I rarely show my songs, but this one I want to show you... It's about the frustration with the Virgo woman I'm trying to make it work, but she's just too complicated, and I can't really get further.

She wants to form a heavy blues band as a hobby, but I don't want to musically compromise myself into something that will not go with a proper purpose, more that the sex and stuff... so she got ****** that I didn't want to help her instantly, I told her that if she wants to do this, she must be the one who gives the project the direction and the destiny to go, but she got ****** , then I gave her an song idea, which is Workin' Mama (the lyrics are here)...

Yeah, the lyrics are about her, but she have targeted my sensitive spot, the music, and this is the result of it... I don't know how much it will last this..
-----------------------------------------
I’ve could’ve had salvation, yeah salvation
But she drove me to a place, I couldn’t resist
Lord have mercy, I had this temptation
Now I can barely exist, barely exist

An evil spirit has done me wrong
She wouldn’t let me, she used the tongue
She used the charms, she used the eyes
Medusa’s eyes, medusa’s eyes

I went to steal, I went to Kill
I’m now controlled by a seal
Gave her blood, gave her gold
But she won’t treat you right

Lord, I’ve been a sinner, a murderer
It’s my fault to fall so hard
But I can’t falter her word, falter her word
Cause she’s gonna leave me dead

Oh lady medusa, please let me be
You’ve no idea what you did to me
Take this lust away, and set me free
Set me free, set me free

I’ve could’ve had salvation, yeah salvation
But an evil spirit has done me wrong
It was the eyes, medusa’s eyes
Now I’m waiting around to die

Your stuff, is your stuff LFDX. Good for you for not selling out with someone who perhaps is only out to take advantage of your good soul? {Heh, my protective ire is up again!! LOL)

The SoundCloud..... You KNOW I love your stuff....

Why is the bass so mushy? ... Is that just the limitation of that recording site?

It has a slurry effect.

If I could suggest?? ... clean up the bass more? Sounds like when you use the right foot pedal on a piano without pumping and releasing so you have ~some blending, but not slush? (I hope I'm making sense? It's been a long time since I studied and used musical terms. I'm so sorry.)

I would say make the bass a bit more clear and definite (doesn't have to be loud), just less slurred. This would stand as your 'outside witnesser' of sorts, that would be a clearer base-platform of 'support' of all the other cloudy sounds and bluesy effects you're trying to palpably build on the top of it. I think that might produce an interesting effect, in a way??

Take good care of yourself!

Dark, ballad-like writing. And you convey it well through the music.

At the end of the day most of my worries are that, mortal worries, the girl and I are going well, yeah I'm very fearful and insecure about this relationship cause it's my first approach to the "couple" thing; and that is because we're not formal, and her life approach which is no ******** , and no romance, just living it to the fullest excites me and intimidates me... but at the same time, as each time we have sex, the cuddling, the glances, the moments, well, something it's growing, and I'm just experiencing it as much as it can be...

As with the song... I did it all on one session, I was just so inmersed in making the song, that I did some accidental things that made the recording as it is, cause I recorded the guitar and vocals on one take with some guitar plugins, and the distortion ended up going to the vocals as well, and then just recorded the bass as I felt, with no second thoughts... I simply tried to convey the frustration of feeling used by this woman...

But as We're hanging out more, well, She isn't a bad woman at all, she's just experiencing a time of changes, and as she gave me a very powerful thing, I'm kinda giving her something different, as she was with the typical big macho guy, and the total sincerity, the intense sexual chemistry and the slow opening, well... things are going good as they can be.
