No fans, no singles 10 years later I'm tired
           F#                       E
Now I've racked my brain And I've looked all around
       F#                   E
But I can't find a way To freshen my sound
         F#          B                C#m        B        E
And now who do you call When you're down to one musical dime?

Fountains of Wayne Hotline. Gerald speaking. How can I help you?

B
Oh, yeah. Thanks. Uh, hello. Um, yeah, I'm a country singer in a
small Midwestern town. And I'm here in the studio today. Uh, let
B
me explain. We're working on a track. And uh we juhs, dih- dih- dih-
just did a verse. It was kind of broken down. And at this point
I'm not sure where to take it. Where to go from here...

B
Sir, sir. Calm down. We can help you. We can help you. What you
need to do now is employ the "radical dynamic shift"

B
The, The radical... yes, uh, wha-, what do you mean by that?

B
You know. Full band entry, fortissimo, while maintaining consistent
apparent volume on the vocal track

B
Oh. Oh! Yeah, yeah! That's a great idea! Thanks a lot. Thanks for your time

B
My pleasure. We're always here

B
It's such a drag To face another filthy stage

Beating these 3 chords In an early middle age
F#                     E
I'd be better off with 7 in hand

An analog synth and an Angry young band

Then I could turn my muddy water Into sweet Mexican wine

Hotline. Department of Bridges and Infrastructure. Grant speaking

B
Oh yeah, hi there. I called a little while ago. I talked to a
gentleman. I believe his name was Gerald. And, um, he...

B
Sir, we've got about seven Geralds here. You're talking to me now

B
Yeah, of course, yeah. The point is I'm in the middle of the song,
we're about 3 minutes in, and I'm not sure where to take it from
here. We've done a couple verses and its just kind of, um hit a, hit a wall

B
Yeah. Yeah, well, Tell me about your textural variation and
harmonic palette that you have going so far

B
Oh of course. Well, um. Two 16-bar verses, the first one broken
down, followed by a radical dynamic shift

B
Oh, THAT Gerald

B
A slightly distorted melodic guitar solo. And chordally, let's see,
a 1, a 5, a 4, with and without a sub-dominant 7, a 2, 2 minor, and
briefly a 9th compound over the tonic

B
Uh, well that 9th, is that telegraphed or just gratuitous coloration?

B
Um, a bit of both, actually

B
Oh, OK. Well let's hit the bridge, I'll tell you what you do. No
new chords introduced. Get a split bar of 4 in there, and push the
one. and then we'll slather the holy hell out of the thing with a s
B
emi-ironic Beach Boys vocal pad. And then an asymmetrical back hand.
There's your bridge

B
Uh huh

B
Yep

B
Isn't that a lot of information to put in the...

B
Sir, I've been on this hotline for 15 years you're gonna havta trust me on this one

B
OK, OK. Thank you very much. I'll give it a try. Thank you

B
You got it, Chief

C#m   B

I feel invincible and all dialed-in
F#                             E
Kind of Long Island with some West Coast sin

So let's cut to the coda Any old gimmick is fine
