Modern Man Here is an old one part midi part real tracks - can only find the midi sgu file (apparently added the real tracks separately). I updated it added some real tracks and a new guitar part at the end (and probably made the song too long).... Leon wrote the lyrics and sang I played various guitars sang and played the small harmonica intro. Modern ManI told my therapist the other day I’m not crazy only looks that way I’m just an average guy In the information age I’m just a modern man I got some normal modern rage I’m just a modern man In the modern age I hate the Government and all the lies they tell I the multinationals and all the useless things they sell I’m just like every man as far as I can gauge I’m just a modern man In the modern age I’m just a modern man In the modern age My wife seems like a stranger Oh man she cleaned me out My kids just want what’s left It’s all they care about I’m just a modern man Of a certain age I’m just a modern man In the modern age I know that once upon a time I was full of youthful zeal Hard to believe it now that the 60’s were for real Did we really think rock & roll could soothe the dogs of war All that peace and love and happiness And “what are we fighting for” I need to find myself a modern girl To get me back on track A gorgeous smart & sassy girl Who won’t stab me in the back I need a modern girl I’m at a difficult stage I need a modern girl For this modern age I told my therapist the other day I’m not crazy only looks that way I’m just a normal guy In this confusing age I’m just a modern man Chock full of fashionable rage I’m just a modern man In the modern age I know that once upon a time I was full of youthful zeal Hard to believe it now that the 60’s were for real Did we really think rock & roll could soothe the dogs of war All that peace and love and happiness And “what are we fighting for”

Peter and Leon,
Gosh... we don't think we'd ever heard you creating such a full and rich sound before!
Leon's timbre really works here.
The musical arrangement really has power.
Peter, you've outdone yourself with the guitar here!

Peter,
based on your lyrics, I think I must be a modern man full of modern rage too! I identify with a lot of what the lyrics say, except the family stuff. My wife was one of the good ones, and she blessed me with two really wonderful kids who aren't waiting for me to die so they can get my stuff.
I'm guessing you played the guitar parts since that's the reputation you have around here.. they sound good to me! I have heightened interest in any song that is part BIAB and part live performance, so your songs are generally on my "special attention" list.
Much respect to you.

Hi Peter.
A great driving backing which kicks again into the bridge. Nicely done.
Great vocal and I particularly liked the line - "Did we really think rock & roll could soothe the dogs of war". Hmmm... makes you think!
Super guitar work at the end and into the fade.
Cheers, ROG.

Peter, really liked the tremendous energy this song develops toward the end. The guitar work in the latter part of song sounded good along with he vocal! Thanks, Torrey.

"Hard to believe it now that the 60’s were for real
Did we really think rock & roll could soothe the dogs of war
All that peace and love and happiness
And “what are we fighting for”
Love those lines.
A song that "talks to ya". A good write.
The tracks are just what they should be. Cool solo!
(I often wonder why we don't get to "meet" Leon... he could join us here... just saying....)

Hey Peter & Leon,
Some really provocative lines in this one ... and they're all excellent. Leon's vocal is spot on and the backing tracks are great, too. Great song and delivery. Cool stuff!

I looked at all those lyrics, and thought... Man, this song is never going to end! Five minutes!And then I got into the groove, and enjoyed it so much that I was surprised how quickly it got to the fade. Modern rage sounds mellow coming from you.

Five minutes just give you more time to appreciate all the goodies here.
You put the whole package together here extremely well.
There's a great cohesiveness with the lyric, vocal, backing tracks and your guitar.
Everything flows through so nicely and, man, does that outro ever nail everything.
floyd has already quoted our favorite lines but there are plenty more fine ones.
Outstanding.
J&B

Wow, PeterF! You know it's a sign of a properly written song when it runs at 5 minutes but doesn't feel like it in the slightest. Thanks so much for sharing! From the lyrics, to the chord progression - I love it all! 
Cheers,
Deryk
