Quite Bay City Rollersesque.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sun Oct 11, 2020 8:43 pm

Irresistible instrumental break.

Hints of Fats Domino in the chords.

Seems a bit long this.

Track 5 - Rumours.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sun Oct 11, 2020 8:44 pm

Saloon piano.

Gloria moody, a girl of 16
Undressed for her doctor by a hospital screen
All very pure,
But you can make it sound mean with rumours.

She went out with her uncle, 50 years old
And very soon found herself out in the cold
Cause that ain't the story
The neighbours were told thru rumours.

Rumours can kill you, cause you to wail
Break up your marriage, put you in jail
Lifes is your cross,
But they drive in the nail with rumours.

Rumours can maim you, cause you to weep
Make you take tablets, or walk in your sleep
Even take poison and fallin a heap of rumours.

Won me some money on horse named cajole
So I bought me a car, my wife a mink stole
(But the way the neighbours heard it I had stolen a car).
My friend's wife, while visiting, fainted on me

So I went an laid her on the settee
(But the way the neighbours heard it).
Rumours can wound you, cause you to bleed

Make you go crazy, or just go to seed
The very last things in the world that you need
Are rumours.

Rumours can hurt you, causing you pain
Again and again and again and again
You can feel lonely, out in the rain thru rumours

Key change.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sun Oct 11, 2020 8:46 pm

Track 6 - Your Love.

by Nightjar Sun Oct 11, 2020 8:46 pm

Sounds like Nick Lowe.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sun Oct 11, 2020 8:47 pm

Sounds like it might be a slow one.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sun Oct 11, 2020 8:47 pm

Sounds a bit Bee Gees.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sun Oct 11, 2020 8:48 pm

Chord progression has hints of Life on Mars.

by Nightjar Sun Oct 11, 2020 8:48 pm

The key changes and structure ensure it's a superior pastiche of its source material.

by Nightjar Sun Oct 11, 2020 8:49 pm

This is actually pretty good.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sun Oct 11, 2020 8:49 pm

Starting to get impressive.
