YOU AND ME — new song

YOU AND ME. This song is most meant for us, you and me, we who know and act on the Top Truth. We are rare. Two main interpretations are intended, neither of which I will describe. Your personal interpretation is up to you.

I don’t mind saying that I was in particularly fine voice, especially for the verses. Hear for yourself, of course, and let me know what you think. (I’m inclined to re-sing the first verse of my previous song, Going Home. I think a lower pitch will make for comfortable and happy listening. Even I have not fully accepted that original version! Update, 10 Nov. 2024. I have done so. Try the new version of Going Home.)

Instrumentally, YOU AND ME is a three-piece song: One guitar, though it sounds like two. One bass guitar track. One drums track. And then there is the lead vocal with four backing vocals.

Upon completing those parts, I saw absolutely no need for a lead guitar, or keyboard touches, or anything else. Simple, strong, catchy, and done.

IF THREE INDEPENDENT fellow Whites each make a request to me by comment or email to make a video showing how I made this song, I will do so. I will show the chords, the riffs, the pickings, so that you can play the full song in the very same way. I will show the one-string change on my guitar. I will show my double-amp setup allowing the one guitar to sound like two. Make your comment or send your email soon. This offer is good through the end of 2024.

Wouldn’t it be nice to have just a few fellow musicians of sufficient skill and courage, along with a fellow White person with some money and a venue, to facilitate holding a gathering of us and playing a bunch of these songs live?

Here’s the song, as an mp3 file that you can play here or download to your computer or phone:

Lyrics

I always recommend listening to a song at least once before reading the lyrics. It is a song, not just a poem. The way the words are sung with the music can convey meanings and inspire interpretations that mere words on a page often cannot.
