Liner Notes

Nothing more cheesy than a stock sequence on a synth and a sus4 chord.

Lyrics

He climbed mountains of mould
He fell in Brie
Veins of blue
Coming home to you

Let's grate together
Let's grate together

Cracking the wheel
Stretching the balls
Veins of blue
Coming home to you

Let's grate together
Let's grate together

Edam, I enjoyed this! The chorus has a real lighters-in-the-air vibe to it and, in my opinion, you can't get cheddar than a cheese pun.

@longbat Guitar is a regular old 6-string in standard tuning. Capo on 3rd fret. Possibly slightly out of tune ‘cause I quickly retuned from DADGAD to record this. If you want to get super specific, it’s a Simon & Patrick Trek Natural Solid Spruce Dreadnought.

I am digging this song, it's got a bit of a Peter Gabriel vibe going for it, I think. Its simple, yet driving with a hell of a hook. I have to ask, what kind of guitar and what tuning were you using?? It almost sounds like a 12 stringer in whole step drop C??

Hahahaha I'm totally juvenile so the second verse had me giggling. Love the instrumentation and the rhythm.

@oatsg 2w

I was corpsing through the second verse. I had no idea what @oatst was going to sing. So funny.

@oatst 2w

Thanks so much! The lyrics were all cheese references that took unintended fruity turn ☺️

@ccsfrogpond 2w

I love the combination of sounds you have going on in this song. You have great voice and it the repeating sequence was an ear worm for me!

@odilongreen 3w

The music and vocals have a rather anthemic feel, making the listeners feel like we're in for something rather inspirations, but then those lyrics... ha! Masterfully done!

@newukenewyork 3w

Yeah, we'd be grate together! A little dirty, like the best cheese

@blakeravemusic 3w

Grate together is such a great line!

@porrectus 3w

great driving groove. I love the line lets grate together. Well done.

@andygriff 3w

Loving the sequencer! I'm a total sucker for a sus4 chord too. I was chuckling at the chorus, but also really enjoyed it generally 😄
Also: "stretching my balls" 🤣
