FAWM: "I Should Call My Parents More"

I Should Call My Parents More

Liner Notes

#alternative #rock #indie #livedrums #drums

Woof. It's been almost a week since I uploaded a song! Gotta get going!!
Anyway. This was fun. Live drums. 4 mics. Several takes but I didn't end up having to do any comping to get something half decent. Let's go!

Otherwise it's like 3 electric takes, an acoustic, bass and a single lead vocal and 3 background vocals. Pretty simple. No time to flesh it out anymore and I kinda think it works decent enough as is. Anyway, onto the next!

Lyrics

time isn’t really kind to anyone is it?
not when it comes to relationships
people change
move away
stop breathing
call less than before
life gets in the way
i should call my parents more

a quick story about my mom
home for some kind of holiday
bourbon still in our veins
the smallest tupperware you’ve ever seen
had us belly laughing
literal tears in our eyes
i need to call my parents more

at least we wanted to try
and you did too
i should call my parents more

something you should know about dad
if you’re gullible at all, you’re toast
fun on vacations
records in the basement
he’ll talk to you for hours
i should call my parents more

at least we wanted to try
and you did too
i should call my parents more

Damn, this is great. I love those guitars. The drums sound great. The lyric almost hurts how accurate it is.

In my world, this would be an indie classic. Would download if the button were there. My favorite of yours this FAWM.

always love listening to your songs. I love the lyrics so much in this one.

This is a great example of a classic alternative track, from the layered electric guitars down to those live drums. And the nostalgic lyrics are a nice touch, unexpected but lovely. Great job!
