Keywords before new wave but after punk when synths met fuzzy guitars (2), AKA post-punk (2), fuzz-pop (4), extra arms (1)

Description Michael2, our very own Musical Philanthropist, was kind enough to let me have a shot at the vocals on his recent song Say A Prayer. I was immediately drawn to the song because it's what I would consider my style. I'm not sure my vocals add anything to his cool song, but, here it is.

Michael mixed the song and kept it true to rules of the era. I love the buzzing guitars and the perfect synths.

Thanks Michael!

Lyrics I took the pieces back
and then the scandal went away
i think it's weird she showed up last night
maybe your lonely mood
was rubbing off on me
i'm craving something now but it's no good for me

(chorus)
i'm feeling like i ought to phone you
i'm feeling like i did before
now everything is better
i don't need that life anymore

i think it's time for me
to start looking for a wife
i think it's time for me
to start something brand new
i can't get all caught up
in all your doing now
i don't care about your family anyhow

(chorus)
i'm feeling like i ought to phone you
i'm feeling like i did before
now everything is bitter
i don't need that life anymore

	nice job great take on the vox!

	drakonis said 272 days ago
	Wootness x5 Cool Septet (Michael2 5)! Great song as usual, fun lyrics.. really LOVE the melody/harmony. I think the vox are too far back and need to be a little more up front, and the fuzz on some of the guitars is a little buzzy/distracting (doesn't add to the song, just adds noise.) But this is really wonderful sounding structure! ttfn, Drakonis

	Say A Prayer With Extra Arms thats a cool rockin colab my friends ..Loved the vocals work my friend ..the buzz of the fuzz with the synth voice ...just great !!!!

	Peter Bauckham said 272 days ago
	Great Song I rather like those buzzy guitars - but I think the vocals could be a little bit more upfront though - mix sounds great otherwise and the vocals sound good - just a bit quiet. Peter

lengold said 272 days ago

Really like
the harmonies Bob - they work extremely well. Great lyrics and a very catchy melody (I wonder if the vocals could have been a tad louder).
Obviously a lovely sound bed and production from Michael. All in all another excellent collab.
(Do you know - I hate that 'collaboration' word, it's too long full out and the abb. just doesn't look right - maybe we should think of a new word? Maybe I'm just wandering? Dementia creeping in.)
Cheers

	hey you are perfect for this kind of thing. you know in answer to some of the comments, IMHO the fuzz is essential to this type of music, and the vox should be kind of buried; BUT upon listening to this again,i buried them too much. oh well, you did a great job though. it's all for fun and free anyhow, right?

	five_extra_arms said 271 days ago
	Fun And Free Yeah Michael. It was extremely fun and even more free. Thanks again for making it so easy for me to jump in and sing. I'm always open for another. Bob

	Bob Dorsey! You are like buses! Nothing for ages then all at once.....! Great addition to your ever growing canon of hot punkoid tunes and collaborative output. DL'd and loved. Guitar sounds immense, vox fantastic esp the harmonies. Early REM, hmmm? It's all good, dudes! Jim

	Great Great vocals... They fits to the music.... Great track also... Great to listen to.... Thanks for sharing...

echoroom said 272 days ago

Wha happened?
Mr D, what's happened - your vocals have suddenly improved 1000% - what pills ya taking. This so suits your voice, and the harmonies are EXCELLENT. You sing this very tenderly, beautifully, best I've heard you do... since your last new track. Great opening couplet, and musically... well, M2 is just one of the best writers anywhere, period, so you cant go wrong.

Can i have an albums worth , please???

	Diviner said 272 days ago
	Brilliant The music is great and the lyrics fit really well. Very good track and am very impressed. Not my normal genre but still enjoyed. BTW what is the 'free ambient reverb' and where can you get it?

	lavalamp said 272 days ago
	busyman M2 and 5, get work. Loved the buzzing guitar. Would have been perfect if the vocals were up higher, but I think you've realized that by now. But the singing was excellently rockin' good. Nice drawing Bob. I think you overunderestimate yourself. Say a prayer with extra armbruster!

	said 272 days ago
	Great take Bob Fun song and you are a fun guy, so it works right off the bat, Kudos to you both! excellent vocals!

	Vic Holman said 272 days ago
	like a glove.... ...... 7 to be exact. Bob, your vocals are so 1001% (one more then Steves) Vocal harmonies are nothing to sneeze at either. Michaels tune obviously is suited to you. my only complaint is the drawing only has one arm! what's up with that? am I the only one to notice?

	Nick_Flash said 272 days ago
	nicely placed synths. I love how everything comes together in the chorus. Almost reminds me of listening to the Cars or something. Nice energy throughout.

	Say a Prayer Wonderful Synth-Rock. Full of power and energy. What a collab, congrats gents!!

	cjdaley said 272 days ago
	kind of a dream team thing for me, so I'm not objective ( as if rock was about objectivity, anyhow). I really like it, so I share the opinion that the vocals could be a tad louder. Boy, you're going to break Johnny Mustard Seed's heart for good with that one.

	said 271 days ago
	Great! Very nice work here both of you did. The music is strange with its sound but great as always from you. You have your own signature with that Bob (you know it before!). Mike's vocals were great here .. Enjoyed this cool collab! Thanks for sharing .. Take Care - Yeman A. Al-Rawi

	Mcboy said 271 days ago
	first i have got say...that...i really dig those granny glasses.....kool....now.....i also dig this fuzz laden rocker...... head bangingly good.....shook the hair follicles real good......hehheh....fun track ...double kool!!

	smokey bacon jnr said 271 days ago
	more vocal!! Great fuzzy guitars, but the vocal needs a boost just to make it perfect. It does have that homemade feel of punk, which is great. Nice tune too. Reminds me a bit of very early Pink Floyd - the Nile Song etc. They were punky before punk...

	ManateeChili said 271 days ago
	best of the eighties this song has everything that i like from the late seventies and earlies eighties. the song really does sound like it's almost thirty years old. vocals are low as noted but with the right mix adjustments, this would've been a hit. i'll put this one on my ipod. thanks guys. m

	Pop'r'us nicely subversive lyrics :-) Cheers Dick

MIRx said 270 days ago

Yeah, man!
let me say a big big YES to this! It's true the music is really catchy and full of positive energy, but yes, to me your vox add to it a great deal. Your vox sound just as one with tne music, as if the two were born at the same time, and the lyrics are so humorous and and well written. My style, as well (just mean the taste, not the ability)! I'm glad you took the time and chance to come commenting my little tunes, so that I could find you :) :)

	guitapick said 270 days ago
	Can see... ...that you're into this style...sounds seamless...as is "should be"...a very cool tune...never heard the original...on my way right now. You sound great, Mr. Arms...

	The Infinites said 270 days ago
	Ahhhhhhh!! Better / bitter Nice.....! Well crafted wording. 10 points from me. Jim

	said 270 days ago
	HEy!!! Very cool.. Ya know M2 said he was jealous of my drums, but this kicks in all the right places. BTW your lyrics and singing take the music to where it should be... I feel like I need to phone you! take care great collab

	falzaabi said 270 days ago
	when synths met fuzzy guitars when synths met fuzzy guitars I like this one

	davisamerica said 269 days ago

	bud said 268 days ago
	Perfect collab couldn't imagine a better pair for this tune. Buzz me fuzz me all night long, and lick me with perfect synth. Excellent vox Bob.

	magnatone said 266 days ago
	Say A Prayer What a great rocker tune this is. I'm tappin' my toes and smiling ear to ear. This song is kind of making my day - thanks - keep going!

	chipan said 266 days ago
	Fuzzy goodness I really like this style and as others before me have said it really fits your voice! It's nice to have another multi-appendaged track to listen to. Definitely a downloader on this one. Great job, guys! chip

	said 234 days ago
	killer love the vocal harmonies. the music is great. i really like the fuzz, too. i find a lot of times, when the fuzz is so thick, the chords get lost,but not here. very tasty. in all, a fantastic collab guys!

	said 272 days ago
