New Rules


Thanks to 'Children' by Takuya Okada 
New Rules <- On Soundcloud
 
New Rules
(c) 2018 BJZ
 (James Griffiths, Ken Nilsen & Ed Kocol)
Featuring Hugo Ribeiro on drums
 
Verse 1
No one saw it coming
No one dared to care
Like a tidal wave over us all
We all felt that crazy fall
 
Chorus:
New rules are dumbing us down
Follow the leader in his shiny new crown
We’re not supposed to be such fools
But how can we not, with these new rules
 
Verse 2
We have to make new beginnings
Need to do our share
Restore what we know, what is true
A better life, let's see it through
 
Repeat Chorus
 
Verse 3
The choice is ours today
Stand up and fight once more
Bring back sanity and love of man
We need to stop this master plan
 
Repeat Chorus 3 times

    Very cool song and performed well!! The mix was very nice and clear (listening to the YT video on H-phones). The only thing I'd like to hear a bit louder are the guitars during the chorus (unless that was intentional).  Liked it nonetheless!
     
    Another very good one BJZ....going for a third listen (the video was very cool too).

    Nicely done chaps mix works well, even with that prominent kick.

    Are those tomato head kids?  :D  Social commentary is always de riguer.  The problem is it's not "nuanced"  haha.  ARtists go crazy when things are this simple.
     
    Good song though.  The drummer is great!

    The video is very classy.
     
    Get it? Of course you do . . .
     
     
    Anyway, this is top notch. The new drums are really excellent and the vocals are, too. The supporting string parts add a lot. Guitars have power but do not overwhelm the proceedings. The mix is the best I've yet heard from your supergroup.
     
     
    cheers,
    -Tom

    Thanks for the kudos on the mix Tom.
     
    BTW, these are the only drums on this song ever.
     
    It's Nerve Endings that has new drums.

    How do you do this EVERY time? It really invokes my old school days and the years between now and then,(which are a lot), so the world goes to shyt and no-one cares!? Great song and lyrics ... guitar licks a little higher please (as said) but hey ... I wouldn't know where to start ! I'll ride the wave till you make a million
     
    Great work

    Thanks Reece! I/we take no credit for the video, I simply used screen capture to record it and edited it a bit. It's a popular animation by a Japanese guy, it's had millions of views. It was such a good fit with the song so I couldn't resist it.

    You guys have got this particular style that just comes thru on every song.  Everything belongs, everything works.  And it suits the video so well...   If you hadn't explained what it is, I would have thought they were supposed to go together!
