Another Way to Die

from Blaque Monday by Steve BLaque

/

about

Recorded in the same environment as the rest of the album. I was on a hiding to nothing here since I'd already recorded a live take of this track on my phone and got everything right. I then went on to master that track but it didn't meet the consistent aural quality of the album. As a consequence I had to go back and redo the track. It's never easy building a song, not scoring it and definitely not beat mapping it, and then try to recreate the original feel. Point of advice here is that unless you're really sure you want to enter recording purgatory do not record without beat mapping. Having said that my belief is that BLaque Monday lives n' dies by the idea that it is very much a 'live album' and not a studio album and that by recording the way I chose there is total naturalness and integrity within the performance. You can hear it in different tracks. Some tracks are showing good performances at the microphone while others maybe just get over the line. We'll see how you the audience feels about this approach. I used my Amos acoustic and my ISK 5000 mic and recorded into the zoom R8 that all recordings for this album were recorded onto. Overdubs were done later and this is a song that has been with me for a few years now but only rarely played, however I liked the feel of this version and decided to roll it out here for this volume.

lyrics

"Another Way To Die"


Another ringer with the slick trigger finger
For Her Majesty
Another one with the golden tongue
Poisoning your fantasy
Another bill from a killer turned a thriller
To a tragedy

[Chorus:]
Yeah
A door left open
A woman walking by
A drop in the water
A look in your eye
A phone on the table
A man on your side
Or someone that you think that you can trust
It's just
Another way to die

Another tricky little gun giving solace to the one
That'll never see the sun shine
Another inch of your life sacrificed for your brother
In the nick of time
Another dirty money heaven sent honey
Turning on a dime

[Chorus]

(It's just another)
Hey!
(It's just another)
You're nothing to me die
(It's just another)
Shoot 'em up bang bang

Another girl with her finger on the world
Singing to you what you wanna hear
Another gun thrown down in surrender
Took away your fear
Another man there he stands right behind you
Looking in the mirror

[Chorus]

It's just another
It's just another
It's just another way
Shoot 'em up, bang bang
Hey Hey
It's just another
Yeah Yeah

It's just another
It's just another
It's just another
It's just another day

Bang bang bang bang
