Slow Sad Rain



 "Could have been a way out..but I've got no place to go..."

Is this song finished?  I can't really tell.  Sometimes I want to add a baas and drum track.  Other times I want to subtract the organ and clean guitar and just leave a reverberated storm of vocals and distorted guitars.   The first time I recorded this song was in about 2005.  At the time it was played at this same pace, but with acoustic guitar and fiddle.  I toyed with the idea of making it a mid-tempo rocker but I don't think that matches the lyrics.  So, I compromised and kept it slow but with a definite hard edge. 

What do you think?  Too much organ, too much guitar fuzz?   Not enough cowbell?
