Mistakes

Robert James

Song idea number one for the 2024 RPM Challenge becomes finished song number one.

This might be the only song I like for this year’s RPM Challenge. We’ll see. Is the mix too reverby? Probably. I like it today but I might not like it tomorrow.

The guitars are all my Les Paul Custom. The amps are all my Fender Bassbreaker 15 and my Vox MV50, both running direct output with their cabinet emulators on. The pedal chain for the rhythm guitars is a Klon KTR into a Keeley D&M Drive. The leads used a Wren and Cuff Tall Font Russian into the Klon KTR into a Seymour Duncan Vapor Trails.

Chorus
Nothing coming to me
nothing given for free
Mistakes, yes I make them
This one, never again

Verse 1
Here for the longest time
I need to make you mine
Feels like it’s run aground
Please let it come around

Verse 2 & 3
Not gonna run away
No matter what you say
Not gonna disappear
Just want to make that clear

Outro
I ask you to forgive me
It’s not that kind of mystery
Now I will wait forever
Believe it will get better
