Hello folks
Here's a new song i wrote with a bit of social comment about the upcoming elections
Enjoy - nits and crits welcome.

Damned if I do
Written and performed by Staypress
News flash courtesy alc31180 of freesound.org
V1
I'm stuck with a decision - exactly where to put my X
I've been sold with great precision and I know just what's coming next
Chorus
I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I don't
But I can't help but feel that I'm wasting my vote
I'm caught between the devil and the deep blue sea
I know because I saw it on the BBC
V2
It's not a democratic vision to choose between fire and ice
I'm sick of politicians who promise me paradise
Chorus
Middle bit
...and the lesser of 2 evils is still evil
One is insane, the other not quite legal
One is fixated on building a wall
The other is determined to screw us all
V3
You can't trust your television - the news is what they want you to hear
So you have a brave decision to use your own mind my dear
Chorus

Another fine piece of work Daryl, great lyrics, nicely written song and great mix. I love how punchy the drums and bass are, gives the song a real kick-ass backbone.

Thanks Kev - very nice of you mate

Hi,
Always something that reminds me about Joe Jackson or around,we used to call this : "New Wave"
Easy listening for sure.
The lyrics seem to be actually concerning United States Of America but even with an european ear the song goes its way with ease.
All the best,
Olivier

Late to the party... Classic Daryl here, the mix is polished as per usual and just sounds so... good! Your sense of arrangement for your style of writing is impeccable. And the lyrics? Loved 'em. The deadpan delivery just adds to the fun.

I think you hit the nail square on the head there ol pal. But you probably should've hit one of them dern politicians instead. And hard!

Good stuff yet again Daryl, quality song and production. Must be time for an 'album' soon?

Thanks mate. Yes I'd love to do all that shizzle but not really sure how many would actually put their hand in their pocket......tbh I just enjoy doing it for the love of it, being creative and all that...

Only one?

(....and then you think, that was a total waste of nail(s)).

Agreed. They both need a smack
