Chemical Fallacy
By Stan Snow

During COVID, ……times were crazy, as we all know. Two extremes. Different perspectives. Some people didn’t want to get vaccinated. Others did. Survivalists got active. It was hard times for many. Chemical Fallacy is a song about some of the perspectives that people had, and some of the things they did.

I wrote this song on a ’61 tele right after I received it in the mail. Pulled it out of the box and played the riff that became the song. After I finished the basic tracks and vocals, I went to Los Angeles to record Abe Laboriel Jr. at Lyle Workman’s studio. It was a once in a lifetime experience. Lyle and I have been friends for more than 40 years. Lyle and Abe toured together with Sting. Abe has been Paul McCartney’s drummer for more than 20 years. A chance to have Abe play on a few of my tracks was an incredible rush. He is amazing and so much fun.

Valerie Pinkston sings backing vocals on 6 songs on this album. This was my first chance to work with her. She comes up with fabulous parts and sings them beautifully. She can sound like a choir and dance like an angel. Eric Patterson and I wrote the horn parts together. Eric is a very talented musician who I’ve known since he was 10 years old. He’s playing tenor sax on this tune and mixed the horns. Javier Gonzalez, also very talented, is playing trumpet.

lyrics

Take your vision drowned in gold
Wash it down without the rails
All that you see
Is blurring to me
I can’t let go of your lies

Drag your dragons in the ground
Don’t surrender ‘til they’re found
One more time you’ll go around
Until you see, what you need
Is a chemical fallacy

Load your weapons down the line
You’ll need survival gear to see you through
No one will show
The truth you don’t know
Fear is the demon inside

Fallen angels meet your guide
Lost horizons deep in-side
Holy rollers throw the dice
Until they see, what you need
Is a chemical fallacy
