That's Why I Avoid People

from The Purple Flame (Album) by chris hardy world

/

about

Recorded on just 4 tracks of analog tape, this is sort of an introvert's guide to life

I played real drums & mixed them live to 1 track, I played my fretless bass through a pile of effects to simulate a synth bass to another track, my piccolo bass guitar on yet another and the single vocal went on the last one.

Recorded on 4 tracks of a Fostex Model 80 reel to reel machine, transferred to a Yamaha AW1600 for mixing.

Songs written in January 2022 and recorded in February 2022 for the RPM Challenge.

lyrics

everyone is fighting a war
that no one else knows about
and that's why i avoid people
cause some of them tend to act out

everyone is in some pain
sometimes they'll spread it around
and that's why i avoid people
it keeps them from bringing me down

that's why i avoid people
that's why i avoid people
cause what if it rubs off on me
i gotta protect my sanity

everyone is acting so sad
like their feelings are just a toy
that's why i avoid people
they get offended by my joy

everyone just looks so mad
that they never get their own way
that's why i avoid people
so i'll survive through another day

I write songs myself. I record them all myself. I play all the instruments (including real actual drums) myself. I sound like a band yet I am just one little guy. I do everything myself - the only job you have is to listen and enjoy! Isn't that easy?
