Haven't been doing #SpaceSongSunday recently, because I wrote TWO songs with lots of F & F minor chords and it cramps up my hand something fierce! Trying to get some good recordings... for now, here's a rough one of "Hell for Leather" โ€“ an anthem to chaos. :3

(The drawing is for something else [wink], but it fits pretty well IMO)

@alexglow You have a really good singing voice! Good control. Sounds like youโ€™ve practiced a lot.

I like the song, too. I hope this comes across as the compliment it was intended to be, but it sounds Radiohead-esque?

@bytex64 @alexglow Was about to say, well, exactly the same ๐Ÿ™‚

@higgins @bytex64 Wow! I've been listening to a lot of overwrought '50s/country, and assumed that was 100% the style I was riffing on... but Radiohead is massive for me, and I'm not surprised it shows โ€“ though that's a very flattering comparison :D Thom Yorke is wonderfully expressive!

Upon re-listening, I'm gonna try and lean further toward "YOLO" and less toward "oh noooo" in future takes ๐Ÿ˜†

*edit: maybe it's the hand cramps coming through ๐Ÿ˜…

@higgins @bytex64 FWIW, Green Day have an excellent modern take on the genre :3 https://youtu.be/KRUWOjOVJf0

@higgins @alexglow Oh nice. :)

Yeah, I think itโ€™s the vocal range, the movement from the sad growls to the high notes that feels very Thom Yorke to me. Though now that I know what you were going for I see that too.

@bytex64 @higgins Oooo also, here's another one I love in that vein:

That heavy reverb & melancholy vibe really do it for me! Obviously there are limitations to acoustic guitar + voice, but I've got a couple local friends who might collab :D
