Blind Date by TheGat(s) published on 2021-03-02T05:51:40Z Words & Music: Jan Schonander This song is written from a man's perspective, but I think it could be equally valid for a woman. I have plenty of friends that have found their companions using dating apps. I also have a number of friends that have many - let's say - interesting experiences. And, maybe it's best to realize what you've got. In terms of how this was recorded...there are no real guitars. I used Logic Pro X Revolving Lines with a couple of gain settings as well as the Distorted Stratocaster. There are two bass lines using the Prog Rock Bass and as always I am programming the virtual drummer. The various organs and piano are all Korg SV-1 native with some post processing. Basically it's the same stuff I used for "Forgot To Say" and "Feline Fever". Lastly, I've noticed that some listeners interpret my lyrics as all personal experiences. In this case I would among many things be a three time felon, met my "working" wife on a crossing and I would actually be African American - I can report that this is far from my ordinary life. BLIND DATE Choosing left and right An ordinary night On his own Scotch in his hand Microwave dinner Looking for some company Some sweet lovin Looking for a friend Didn’t want another dead end Didn’t want another blind date Looking for a better fate Didn’t want another blind date Looking for a much better mate She stepped in the bar Painted to the nines Three martini lush & more Preached about men Layed down the rules He looked in her eyes Made sure that she understood She was more than he could He left that chat for good Didn’t want another blind date Looking for a better fate Didn’t want another blind date Hoping for a much better mate He looked left and right Nothing recognizable in sight And then she said “Hello, I think you’re my beau” A completely different woman His face turned wooden Oh its so tragic Not his kind of magic Didn’t want another blind date Looking for a better fate Didn’t want another blind date Hoping for a much better mate Staying at home Staying at home All on his own Right next to his phone He heard her chime Turned on a dime She said “Honey, I miss you” He said “Not another blind date, not another blind date” Genre Rock Comment by Caught Sound Records Great guitar sound and chord progression 2022-10-26T02:47:46Z Comment by O#D Composer Great composition 2022-01-24T19:25:47Z Comment by Frank DANA Cool song ! 2021-09-17T05:29:06Z Comment by Michieb1966 This is dope, clean vocal love the instrumental ... 2021-07-16T01:54:28Z Comment by Arcachata Is that your voice, Jan?
