I often wonder about the state of this world
and the troubles tend get me sad
then I put on a good old song
an the world doesn't seem so bad

I'm just listening to the sound
I'm just letting it fall
I'm taking my time

I'm goin down, goin down
goin down, goin down

Bush is leaving office and Obama stepping up
Stocks diving low and real estate amuck
2009 will be an interesting year
one that I hope is not to filled with fear.

I'm just listening to the sound
I'm just letting it fall
I'm taking my time

I'm goin down, goin down
goin down, goin down

My neighbor just lost his home
Seem his mortgage was NINJA loan
How he got the house just baffles me
He hasn't worked since was 23

I'm just listening to the sound
I'm just letting it fall
I'm taking my time

I'm goin down, goin down
goin down, goin down

We all have a price to pay
for those lived like they owned each day
it will take a while to see this through
so I'll sit and watch Obama's crew

I'm just listening to the sound
I'm just letting it fall
I'm taking my time

I'm goin down, goin down
goin down, goin down

This is a dark, pulsating song that I wrote, performed and recorded in about 2 hours so it's kinda rough around the edges but frankly my heart wasn't into too many re-dos...

Things are going well for me as we move into 2009 but I have my "dark" days. This song is kind of about having one of those and when I do have a "dark" day I tend to put on some music and forget about the troubles I have and those of the world.

There are two primary guitar tracks
one bass track
Two primary vocal tracks
The final vocal set adds an additional three vocal tracks
The first two lead guitar sets use a standard echo
The final set is two layered leads and the primary lead uses a Zoom GX1 wah pedal
There is some organ and guitar layering in the final section as well.

The vocal backups are pretty heavily processed with flangers and other things to give it a dark feel.
