Rent A Room by Phil McWalter published on 2024-02-11T20:35:34Z A song about machine inclusivity. Recorded in Bramble Barn, Somerset, UK, Earlsdon, Coventry, UK, California, USA by: Janine Levinson @janinelevinson: Richter vocal scale Rick Medlock @rick-4-1: Neural sonic drums Phil McWalter @phil-mcwalter: The Other Stuff on the metal horse Mixed and Mastered in EPG Studios, Chelsea, London UK. RENT A ROOM I don’t want to rent a room In this place Encounter a neural sonic boom Inside this space Let’s go ride our metal horse Get away from the city Wander through the desert night Beat the Vigilance Committee They’re coming to make us Turn ourselves off... Now... Well that could lead to a dance A cyber-laser dance Well we don’t want to feel your cold We want a steel womb with a view So we can catch you and your crew With your shiny shoe and your clean shirt Looking around through all the dirt You check the chandelier But I can see straight through you here You've got a sweat on from the beer And we can smell your fear You're coming to make us Turn ourselves off... Now... Well that could lead to a dance A cyber-laser dance (Maybe even a cyber-sabre dance!) The priest and the nun Are pouring sand into The joints of my exoskeleton Whilst a dog with a bone Is running into trouble With a clone of mine’s explosive rubber drone I don’t want to rent a room In this place Encounter a neural sonic boom Inside this space Let’s go ride our metal horse Get away from the city Wander through the desert night Beat the Vigilance Committee They’re coming to make us Turn ourselves off... Now... Well that could lead to a dance A cyber-laser dance A cyber-laser dance A cyber-laser dance Boop boop boop... © Feb 2024 Phil McWalter Genre Alternative Rock Comment by Terry Wigmore Delightful intricate weave, spun into this future robo tale. Awesome drumming from Rick, great lyrical muse outdone by the delivery of you and Janine! As usual, Phil, the guitar work is spectacular! Big mix and production polishes this off nicely! (loved the hats ticking away at 3:20) Boop Boop indeed! (reverbed "space"...so many nice touches!) 2024-04-29T09:39:03Z Comment by Jeff Roberts this bangs in with sassy Blackmore guitar; the very relaxed vocal really suits you Phil, it's kind of a Donald Fagen narrative emphasis and the lyrics/story come through so clearly as result; and those laconic jazz changes are very Steel Dan, which is another way of saying cool; the doubled/harmonized soloing is very effective! Nice one (sorry it took this long to find it) !!! 2024-04-21T17:00:32Z Comment by mistermark wow, what a unique song! listening to some of your other stuff too, pretty impressive how you get such a 'big' production, and I like the layered sounds and instrumentation. nice vocals too! 2024-04-21T02:19:08Z Comment by Three Photons awesome tune! 2024-04-20T23:21:27Z Comment by Frank DANA Cool song and arrangements ! 2024-04-20T06:28:45Z Comment by SOUND23 Sounds ..vocal.. really good! …🌍☮︎👍 2024-04-18T22:21:24Z Comment by BluesmanRick Definitely a step or two above the average SC offering.
