Straightaway - Reaching

Our first performance at Rainbow Bar & Grill

Straightaway - Reaching

(verse)
It's almost over
Why won't you let me be?
Well I don't feel like myself
And I hate this side of me

We seperate and try to change
Out of sight and out of view
Like before I'll miss you a week
Then you'll come crawling back to me

You've already won,
I quit this game
Expect to return
And feel the same?

(chorus)
You're falling like I knew you would
Flat again
You've lost control of everything
You reaching for the things that you lost
and once had
You know it's over
I won't take you back

(verse 2)
I feel the pressure
All the weight once on my knees
It's slowly lifting
but it took way too long to see
I am not your prisoner
you tried to throw away the key
You did't care the path you cleared
without a trace just up and leave

You hated the way
I live my life
Well I don't need your help
To survive

(Chorus)

(chorus)

can you please tell me what pedal your using? i wanna give me guitar sound a heavy distortion like this one but cant find the exact pedal! awssommeeee job with the songs! you guys rock. and does the drummer use a normal drum snare? it sounds so gd :)

[bluesti3]

I played the primary chord riffs, and use a Boss ME-50 pedal... VERY easy pedal to use, but has a ton of flexibility for a huge variety.

[omarchamoun]

i read reviews of it and i couldnt help noticing alot of ppl complaining abt a little lag sumwher! i didnt get what they mean but they wher disapointed! does that happen to u? cuz am planing to get a gd pedal but just dunno which one. am mostly looking for a pedal that will give me that boost of base, the thick voice for pure alternative choruses, if u know what i mean! thatnks for the reply

[bluesti3]

What do they mean by lag? I've never really noticed anything that bothered me about it. That, and the other guitar player in this clip was using the top of the line BOSS pedal, similar to mine but much better... watch our Breaking Benjamin cover, and you'll hear how well his BOSS pedal mimmicks the sound of the BB guitars...

[omarchamoun]

any idea what pedal hes using? whats it called exactly

[bluesti3]

He has the GT-8... a spendy pedal, but does EVERYTHING you could ever want it to...

[bluesti3]

Hey,

I'm in West Covina, how about you? I'd love to get back in the swing of things, and I'm willing to check new ideas out.

[bluesti3]

Thanks a lot guys... It sucks that we're not playing anymore, since I had to move to LA. But I did write the songs, and still plan on using them and forming more with a new band out here. I have so many more songs I need to lay down!

[BlindxLink]

i feel the exact same way.
