flatbaroque Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Gday guys, here's new video. In open G capo ist fret. "Meet John Doe"..Just a zoom Q3 recording so don't get up me too much for the sound quality. I'm a bit of a low-fi guy. But I think the vibe of the the song is captured ok. And lyrics Flows like mud, swells with pride Tells you stories, blows dust in your eyes Meet John Doe at the rivers edge Flat down dreaming in a whiskey bed From where he came, devil knows A washed up fish In shipwreck’s clothes Vasco da Gama, bent outta shape Riding the bow wave to the hangover cape Flows like mud, creeps in shade Perfumes the grass where Rosalie lay Meet John Doe, the working jack Stole some magic Now the magic’s turning black Is he still breathing, doctor knows Got a bad case of the talking crows Vasco da Gama tied to the main While Rosalie haunts him again and again Flows like mud, swells with pride Ties your hands while drowning girls cry Meet John Doe at the river side Face down dreaming on a downhill slide From where he came devil knows Rosalie’s king has lost his clothes It’s a one sided rainbow, A five sided ace That ran out of magic Rounding the cape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retrorod Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Hey.. I,m getting a 'contact high'..... Great stuff. Deep and Dylanesque lyrics. I love the sea and sailor romanticism of it. It's just mysterious enuff to be a great song! Bravo... And that 'dissonance' is workin' for ya mate! BTW...Tis been a long time since school and while re-calling the name Vasco Da Gama, I had to do a search to refresh my learning...The great Potugese explorer....very cool! From where do you hail, flatbaroque? The land Down Under? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatbaroque Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 Thank fellers. Yea I'm from the wilds of Sydney suburbia. I was in South India once and went into this little Christian church in a town called Cochin. And there in front of the altar was the crypt of Vasco Da Gama. So it must have planted a seed that found it's way into a song. And as surprised as I was to see the erstwhile explorer's resting place I'm sure he'd be just as surprised to hear his goodself mentioned in a strange ballad of seafaring and life gone wrong on Youtube...haha......
