I could use some feedback on this song, and I didn't get any when I posted it on the video board. I put this song together a week ago. I had the lyrics finished a couple of months ago. Last week, I sat down to try to put music to it. I couldn't remember the melody I'd come up with in November. But I had a couple of riffs from an unfinished instrumental, and they seemed to work pretty well. Then I added some musical bits from a song I wrote as a teenager in the late '70s.
A lot of stuff I wrote in the '70s and early '80s had more interesting chord changes than I usually come up with now. So when I'm embarrassed by lyrics I wrote in my youth, I've been trying to find ways to repurpose the old music because I still enjoy playing it. The question I have in doing this, especially with this song, is whether the lyrics and music are in conflict with each other.
