Not With A Bang

about

Written and recorded in under 30 minutes on the evening of Friday 11th August after a trying and worrying week - a protest song. I recorded a video on the iPad for Facebook, then found that the additional microphone I'd recorded the audio on, though not great, was improved by stripping the audio from the iPad video, and mixing it in along with some tricky EQ and reverb - a flawed but very much live recording.

lyrics

NOT WITH A BANG

Some fool is planning to bomb in a foreign land
you fucking maniac Trump you’re a pathetic man
And what the hell will you do?
when everybody is fried
who the hell you gonna rule - I hope you're happy, you should be happy

I don’t know why I have to keep writing this song
I'm no political expert my views could be wrong
They say you’re planning a kill?
are you ready to die?
I don’t know whether to cry or laugh I would be if I could - I would be happy

they say depressives have a realistic view
we see the world as it is - well let me tell you
I wish it wasn't so
I'd like you all to know
I’d like to laugh and blow my cares away - but not with a bang
not with a bang
or even a whimper
not with a bang
