Diamondless Ring by B Good (soundminds)

This is a song i wrote a few weeks ago, titled 'Diamondless Ring'.

Again, after the first line, the rest of the song and theme emerge almost as if by magic.

To me, its theme is that of a future where by fhe humans are lorded over by a superior being, one indeed made by humans for humans, but that which soon overcame their human maker, this is a world ruled by machine, a digital system.

Ive used ny old gear for music guitar, my sisters old guitar, as i just cant handle nice things, i have had good guitars in the past, but they dont last long!

Lyrics are as follows:

Like a river flows take it easy as you go
Like a bird will sing, pawn your diamond ring
And with the fortune that it brings
Throw it all in the bin because it doesn’t mean a thing
Like the stars up high we’re enslaved until we die
Like the honey bee we may look and never see
No one will be free, tomorrow’s sorrow a dying sea
But we’re happy because

We don’t need anything
Made by machine
They’ll soon consume everything
And force you into
A diamondless ring

So like a spiders web they’ll trap in your head
And like a cats meow you’ll never figure out how
Generations have come and gone
To build a world in which we don’t belong
But i’ll sing a song

We don’t need anything
Made by machine
They’ll soon consume everything
And force you into
A diamondless ring

So before you buy into the company
The future depends on you and me
And

We don’t need anything
Made by machine
They’ll soon consume everything
And force you into
A diamondless ring

Capo 4
G – B – C – D7

Youtube video link:

The sound effect was added to hide a horrible cough i did at the beginning of the clip, its supposed to be a river flowing.

This one was recorded on my phone using just the mic, i used an audio extractor to split the video and audio, and an app called 'power director' to form the very simple video, just a backdrop to the music.

Thank you for reading and/ or listening.

Kind regards,
