FAWM: "Beat Me Down"

Beat Me Down

Liner Notes

I think this is 100% new to this FAWM. Also my first song w/ some overdubs.

I've been double micing my vocals, then duping them, giving me four vocal tracks in one take. I think the results may be making everything muddy.

The distorted overdub was a one take thing and it took me a bit to figure out what to play, but I think it comes out not too bad.

Lyrics

Beat me Down 2/12/2025

Chorus:
(G) If you beat me Down (D) I'll get back up
(A) I don't need to drink (D) your cup
Intimidation Power Trip
I know I can right this ship
Things may be turning bad
But your will not iron clad
Dust me off and lift me up
If you beat me down I'll get back up

Verse: (G)-(A)-(Bm) (Last line Bm goes to A)
Dark Clouds Rolling in the Night
There seems to be no end in sight
I just need to make it to day light
Then everything will be alright

Verse 2:
I hate the rain, but it washed away the tears
Standing here, frozen by my fears
Lingering in my mind after all these years
The time has come to make it clear
