• Right Away, Great Captain! – What A Pity cover (rough-ish)

   

  This song has always catches my ear when it plays in my car… I am slowly edging my voice back into singing more, but honestly it hasn’t felt healthy in a while. First with the chest congestion, and after that cleared up, I think I have an upper respiratory tract infection now–can’t it all just stop so my voice can feel 100% good again? Wish everyone around me wasn’t sick too.

  This song really represents what I love about a lot of RAGC! songs… such simply written music that is so rewarding to play. This felt so rough that I’m probably just gonna give in and post another take later. I have now posted a less rough recording that I’m less embarrassed about, ha.

   

  “What A Pity” by Right Away, Great Captain!

   

  What a pity that it is
  The way to come back home
  I tried to make a point
  To sell the last of what I own
  Well I can feel your breeze
  Begin to choke my living soul
  But I promise that its worth it

  What a pity that it is
  To write you in a song
  I tried to make the words

  Become the kingdom to your soul
  No matter how I try

  It’s just a lyric nothing more
  And it cant be worth it

  What a pity that it is
  To know that your alone
  I tried to clean your place up

  Make it feel like you were home
  No matter how I try

  It’s still a house on sand, you know
  And I’m not really worth it

   

  No I’m never really worth it
  And it’s not really worth it
