It's not even a rap...

Left a good job in the Harbor
been workin' for the Coinlords every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleepin'
Worryin' 'bout the giant clans that might have been

[Refrain]
Sewers keep on flowing
Hobgoblin clans are growing
Raidin’, Raidin’, Raidin Halls of Shan to Kor

[Verse 2]
Cleared a lot of lairs in the Market
Dealt a lot of pain down in Water Works
But I never saw a Hobgoblin city
'Til I went down and found these muscle-bound mercs

[Refrain]
Sewers keep on flowing
Hobgoblin clans are growing
Raidin’ Raidin’ Raidin’ Halls of Shan to Kor


Oh Catacombs; they’re bigger
It's bigger than you
And this place is creepy
The lengths that I will go to
To help the silver flame
Oh no, so much undead
I can’t get ahead

That's me and the Friar
That's me and the Bishop
serving this religion
Trying to keep it safe for you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no, so much undead
I can’t get ahead

I thought that I heard her laughing
I thought that I heard her sing
I think I heard Marguerite cry..


Consider this
Consider this, the quest of the century
Consider these skeletons
They all shoot at me, fail
What if all these phantasms come
Flailing around
There’s so.. Much undead..

I thought that I heard her laughing
I thought that I heard her sing
I think I heard Marguerite cry..

[Verse 1]

…….
There’s a gang full of murder and theives
Reminds me of Korthos memories
Where cultists roamed wearing some white outfit

Now and then, when they steal a thing
launder money or some trouble bring
Or a hostage family just won’t all submit
[Chorus]
Woah-woah-woah
Sharn Syndicate
Woah, oh-oh-oh
Sharn Syndicate

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
They snatch the fresco fragment there
Yorrick can’t get them out of his hair
So he hires me to go and baby sit

The art is trapped in this big old place
And Zircon’s running; I’m giving chase
Find Darsin is mad and wants to fight; hey lets do it

[Chorus]
Woah-woah-woah
Sharn Syndicate
Woah, oh-oh-oh
Sharn Syndicate

Great work Meat, I enjoyed but I want to give you some feedback.

You picked 3 songs that didn't really worked with your voice even if it was less evident for "Losing my religion" (Like R.E.M? Smiley), the transition was goodish but I'm sure you can do way better


All in all I liked it and I can't wait for your next hits  Smiley (if you are working on anything else that is)

I like it.

I'm just trying to envision your family's reaction as you're belting these tunes out in your office.

I think it may be time to consider putting together a Vault compilation ala Gal Gardot  Grin

Oh I’ve gotten so much crap from my wife and kids. That’s definitely a whole other layer to the humor for me. My wife is like, “You’ve never made me a song…and THIS is what you choose?” My kids’ reactions range from sorta cool-funny to eye rolling annoyance.

I like the Vault compilation idea. But you simultaneously just took hot points away from Gal by showing me her singing that foolish song.

That’s definitely a function of time. I don’t want to put in the real amount of time to make it/them significantly better. I’m completely comfortable with C- work that gets a smile or a chuckle. That being said, I’m learning things each time. So, there will be improvements if I do more—which is likely.

Currently I have a half-baked Ode to Oozes I was going to do and I thought Deleras tomb would be next. Nothing burning with inspiration yet, though.

I'm surprised you two hadn't seen that Gal Gardot video before. It was all over the national news cycle for a while (back then). She and others caught a ton of flak for it for the tone-deafness of it - in relation to definition #2.

Quote:
1: relatively insensitive to differences in musical pitch
2: having or showing an obtuse insensitivity or lack of perception particularly in matters of public sentiment, opinion, or taste


(basically, "thanks, rich people, for helping the working class through a massive economic shutdown by giving us a shitty cover of a song")

They got a pass on definition #1. At the time, at least Grin

Harder to argue with that.

Strak is having trouble spelling today. I fixed it for him once, but it had no effect.

I have a subconscious need to put something in between her
