A heavy rhythm guitar laden song.......heck I don't know what genre this song is..... could be Country Punk for all I know, lol, but it was a fun one to put together.
Classic rock, acoustic rock, R&R in general
Hello Farrell Jackson here, just some music for long distant fellow musicians and music lovers. A place to post some of my musical thoughts. All songs/instruments written or performed by me except where noted.
Story behind the song
Gary Hart sent this song idea over to see if I wanted to help flush it out. He had the basic rhythm guitar, bass and drums recorded. He said it needed lyric, vocals and some guitar enhancements. So I went to work on it. I did all the lyric/vocals and added additional rhythm, riffing, harmony and solo guitars. Gary sent over his individual tracks and I did the mix and production.
Lyrics
Lying In The Sun
(V1) I've got a bug in my eye, he's watching out for the both of us
He'll let me know if we collide, with the front of a greyhound bus
(Chr) I need to go fast, I need to make it last
There's no turning back, I'm on the right track
I need more speed, no moss grows on me
I give my all, no slow down..no stall.
On the horizon, within my reach
Don't need surprises, before I hit the beach
Here I am having fun....lying in the sun
(V2) I've got a bug in my teeth, he's breathing in for me
He let's me know to exhale, as I ride to the sea
(Chr) I need to go fast, I need to make it last
There's no turning back, I'm on the right track
I need more speed, no moss grows on me
I give my all, no slow down..no stall.
On the horizon, within my reach
Don't need surprises, before I hit the beach
I'm on a mission with my cruiser
I'm not a bum..... I'm not a loser
Here I am having fun....lying in the sun
(V3) I've got a bug in my head, he hangs on every word I've said
He let's me know I'm alive, he'll let me know if I am dead
I need to go fast, I need to make it last
There's no turning back, I'm on the right track
I need more speed, no moss grows on me
I give my all, no slow down..no stall.
On the horizon, within my reach
Don't need surprises, before I hit the beach
Look out below, there's a slippery patch
I'm going down, hand on my stash
It was a good ride, I knew it wouldn't last
The little bug...... didn't stand a chance
Here I am having fun....lying in the sun

Yeah that rhythm guitar is phat! Nice drum track. Has a pop vibe for me, especially the vocals and lyrics and definitely cool!
