this is a slightly different version of the song, with the addition of a slide guitar and "glockenspiel" part.

lo fi garage rock, folk, and other
The songs on this site that I recorded last year were done on a rented Tascam 2400 digital recorder. The more recent songs from this year were recorded on a Mac using the Garageband program that usually comes with a Mac. Yes, they are lo-fi and there are sometimes synching issues (because of either my limited musicianship or because I was using the computer keyboard to play simulated drums instead of a MIDI keyboard or real drum kit), but in most cases they are close to how I envisioned the songs. It's quite fun playing a guitar or bass part on acoustic guitar and then adding the Garageband distortion, "Grunge" guitar amp simulator and/or Vocal Transformer effects to make it sound like an electric guitar or bass.

Lyrics
GLOCKENSPEIL HAUS (Starts off in 2/4 time, then at “Bells gently chiming” changes to 6/8) E D A C G D D Asus4 to A Everybody – tourists, locals, children, adults, you and me E D A A A A C C G Stopped what they were doing, silent-ly they looked up G G D D Asus4 to A Up to-wards the roof ..... E A Bells gently chiming (gently chiming) E A Sunburst, nearly blinding my eyes (blinding white lies) E A A charming, egalitarian art deco building from the ‘20s (the Weimer Republic) E A In this cozy winding alley listening with strangers to the glockenspiel (Glockenspeil) A(6) E(6) Em(6) E(6) Hmmmmmmmmm... Hmmmmmmmmmmmm........ E(6) C(6) E(3) E7(3) E(6) Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm........ A E Em It’s all so reassuring, 1933 was years away, and the Great War almost E Forgotten; Am C When the bells softly chimed, almost everyone was happy, at least E E7 E For a very short while.... (repeat chorus 3X) E E7 E For a very short while.... (repeat 3X)
