UNDER THE GROUND (demo) © 2012 MRI
Words & Music by Daren Thomas Turner
--------------------------------------
welcome
to one of those nightmares
from some of those daydreams
that come with bad timing


help me
dig a little further
goin’ way past China
and/or Long Island


you have a very pretty face
i’d love to stay here in your place
hiding out from the human race, but 
i’ll be under the ground (if you want me)
i’ll be under the ground (if you want me)
i’ll be under the ground (if you want me)
i’ll be under the ground (if you want me)


did you
see a little movement?
feel a vibration 
like a jackhammer?


don’t fret
that’s just a tunnel
i’m a makin’ my wormhole
for going deep under


you have a very pretty face
i’d love to stay here in your place
hiding out from the human race, but 
i’ll be under the ground (if you want me)
i’ll be under the ground (if you want me)
i’ll be under the ground (if you want me)
i’ll be under the ground (if you want me)


heaven help the motivated

Son, you are pumping out tunes this weather!

This had energy and simplicity, great track to play live. I like the way the vocal are tucked way back.

"Ill be under the ground if you want me....."  solo = que--->moshing!

A real rocking song. Tight rhythm, nice sounds .. 

Hi Daren, this certainly rocks. I used to play in open c on steelstring acoustic guitar, didn't sound like this though ; )

Rik

Daren, you've done it again.  This has your signature sound and so much raw energy that I just hooked my house up to it.  This is one tune that I think the vocals belong in the background just a touch, and you nailed it.  As always, your lyrics are great as is your guitar playing.  We just need to get you on the cover of the Rolling Stone while there still is one.

LOL cool Rik. Yea i love that tuning & use it a lot, for slide too. i'll never be at your level of guitar mastery in this lifetime ;p 

thanks dude. & thanks for your musical inspiration as well.

much appreciated, Lynn :) yeah i like the rawness about this track- it's more or less a simple tune too & is a lot of fun to play live, so i tried to capture that and not over-produce. 

whack

awesome Clan. thanks. & exactly, as i said to Lynn, this was a fav to play live, so i tried to capture that energy in the studio. tucked the vox back a bit, esp in the 1st part of chorus, as even though i'm singing all the parts in this studio version, i tried to emulate Dan, Rob or Alan singing the chorus parts in a live performance to give it that stage dimensionality etc...

I didn't want to... but I do anyway... love it ...  like it a lot... love it a little...
 
This would be fun to play, but I would never muster the energy...
