UNNATURAL DISASTER
by JB

INTRO 1
INTRO 2 (verse chords)

VERSE
Everybody knew your intentions
They thought you stepped out of some western romance
Gave you second chance after second chance

Everybody had good intentions
They really thought you were going to save the day
But it's just not enough to pray

CHORUS
There's no escaping, the fireball is faster
Baby you are an unnatural disaster
All that you wanted to be
Was the life of the party
You never wanted to be
A fucking hero

VERSE INSTRUMENTAL BREAK

BRIDGE
Who knows how long it will take to recover
Now that, at long last, the lunacy is over
All that you wanted to be
Was the life of the party
You never wanted to be
A fucking hero

INTRO 1

VERSE
Maybe they'll give you an honorable mention
Maybe they love you as much as you think they do
Baby they're just not that into you

CHORUS
There's no escaping, the fireball is faster
Baby you are an unnatural disaster
All that you wanted to be
Was the life of the party
You never wanted to be
A fucking hero

Cool sounds immediately. This may be the most heavy-handed 2-buss compression I've ever heard. Sounds like you're pulling down at least 6db with a pretty fast release. Pumpy. A manly guitar tone like that could really use a nice loud snare to complement it. Catchy melodies and the top-notch singing I've come to expect from you throughout. I wish there was more work put into the arrangement to help differentiate the verse from the chorus. You copped half the bridge melody from your Kick Start (both lines in each song end with "... to recover"); was this intentional? I spent a short while trying to figure out if this was a lyrical connection between the two. You didn't really do much with the challenge, but then again you didn't have to.
