Every Time The Telephone Rings A pessimist finds love (and could do with a technology update). Played a little slide lick that reminded me of George Harrison so in that vein I converted some guitar to midi sitar (via Melodyne) for the ending. Leon vocal & lyric I played guitar and sang The Band: RealTracks in style: ~1394:Bass, Acoustic, Jazz Sw 110 (Very Simple) RealTracks in style: ~~2193:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm EZListening Sw 140 RealTracks in style: ~~1985:Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm EZListening Sw 140 RealTracks in style: 2452:String Quartet, Rhythm PopSwingHall Sw 110 RealDrums [in style:JazzBrushes#1: a: JazzBrushes#1b: JazzBrushes#1 And quite few other bits and pieces and Realtracks added separately. Every Time The Telephone RingsEvery time the telephone rings I know it’s going to be bad news Bad news Every letter that the postman brings I know it’s going to be bad news Bad news I must’ve been born under a bad sign It was always raining in my heart Even though my eyes were wide open Seemed like I was stumbling in the dark Then one day I found you Hit the jackpot, grabbed the golden ring Now I only long to be around you Suddenly I feel like I should sing Last night I was crying Tears in my eyes made me blind Last night I was crying But this morning I feel just fine I feel just fine I feel just fine I feel just fine Somebody’s knocking on my door Sure to be the bearer of bad news Bad news Like every time before People only bringing me bad news Bad news I must’ve been born under a bad sign It was always raining in my heart Even though my eyes were wide open Seemed like I was stumbling in the dark Then one day I found you Hit the jackpot, grabbed the golden ring Now I only long to be around you Suddenly I feel like I should sing Last night I was crying Tears in my eyes made me blind Last night I was crying But this morning I feel just fine I feel just fine I feel just fine I feel just fine

Sweet. The song structure itself is quite Beatle-esque, so it's small wonder the licks came like George and inspired the sitar as a result. Much enjoyed my listen.

Sitar star - it does have GH's slide style/sound.
this is pretty cool - Ithink the pianos are a little loud but all else is fine fine fine.
Cheers

Peter & Leon,
A very cool song. Good overall production and sound. And vocal.
I listened before reading any of the comments - or your GH note - ans had the same reaction others did... a very Beatlesque sound and feel. In fact, my first thought was "This sounds like a song Ringo might sing on a Beatles record!"
Well done all around. Very enjoyable...

Peter & Leon:
Good stuff—agree it has a Beatles vibe to it. Some really nice touches to this throughout moving to the different segments of the song. Great collaboration—cool tune!
All my best,
Deej

Peter & Leon,
Feeling fine after listening to the nonchalant nothing-bothers-me Ringoness of your song!
An excellent vocal and inspired arrangement.
Well done.
Robert

Yep, a touch of the Beatles. I really liked you vocal in this one. Very nice backing tracks also. Super mix also.
Today I bought a doughnut without the sprinkles. Diets are hard!

Hi Peter and Leon,
Yes, I can hear the George influence in that lick. Always loved his slide playing, very underrated guitarist IMHO.
Nice vocal and lyrics from Leon.
Good song guys, enjoyed the listen!

Put a smile on my face. A novel kind of love song ... all hippy and left-field, musically and lyrically respectively ;-) Genuinely loved it!!!

Well by the US calendar you were a day late posting this  A happy ditty for a gloomy rainy day! Janice said, "being a sentimental fool I love the lyrics!" Beatlesque, Peteresque & Leonesque...whatever it's super cool. We agree with Dave regarding George being under rated and his slide playing is unique which you well captured. And the sitar addition iced the cake. Hey, y'all sang it well too! J&B About the technology -- some how "every time the cell phone vibrates" just doesn't sing well
Our albums and singles are on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Pandora and more. If interested search on Janice Merritt. Thanks! Our Videos are here on our website.

Despite the pessimism in the lyrics. this was a jolly, gentle musical romp.
Love the slide. Yes--very Harrison. I love the ending sitar chord.

Peter, it sounds like George Harrison showed up and inserted some of his signature sound with that slide stuff going on! I like the way this drifts from a country sound to a beatlesque pop sound! Loved it! Thanks, Torrey
