about
Demo written and recorded between 18:30 and 21:12 on 2021-08-17
Vocal overdubs, additional percussion and remix - 2021-08-18 (ver 2b); version 2c additional mixing and a thunderstorm recording. I decided to remove the thunderstorm on 2021-08-20 when I did the last few mixing fixes before I master the track.
Words & Music - David Bradley
Vocals, guitar, and bass - dB/

lyrics
Catch your breath
The simple things in life aren't free
no matter what you believe
You gotta work to get to here
There's no other way to receive
The things you need that aren't so simple
You'll find it's hard in every way
You can tear it all down, for example
But it's only yourself you deceive
Find a way to catch your breath,
before they drag you under
You know the wonder that you express?
Well, they'll tear it asunder
Take a chance to walk the path,
with the sound of thunder
The lightning strikes if you do the math,
that's your biggest blunder
The simple things in life aren't free
no matter what you believe
You gotta work to make it here
Who else are they gonna deceive?
The things you need that make life simple
You'll find they're totally out of your reach
They'll put you down, for example
You got to practice what you preach
The simple things in life aren't free
no matter what you believe
You gotta work to get to here
There's no other way to receive
The things you need that aren't so simple
You'll find it's hard in every way
You can tear it all down, for example
But it's only yourself you deceive
Find a way to catch your breath,
before they drag you under
You know the wonder that you express?
Well, they'll tear it asunder
Take a chance to walk the path,
with the sound of thunder
The lightning strikes if you do the math,
that's your biggest blunder
The simple things in life aren't free
no matter what you believe
You gotta work to make it here
Who else are they gonna deceive?
The things you need that make life simple
You'll find they're totally out of your reach
They'll put you down, for example
You got to practice what you preach
