Thanks Pat, as mentioned to Floyd, I just sang this raw with no filters and have no idea what I would do on a retake, but I will definitely give it some thought.
Re: the inspiration. I have to say I get A LOT of inspiration from this forum because people are writing real stuff, and there are a lot of people writing from their guts. Bob is one example, but there are plenty more on this forum. When I hear raw authenticity, it always ignites another song in me so this forum is great for that.
I also am appreciative of the feedback, I trust it more than commercial feedback because people just seem open and genuine and tell you what they think, and there is no hidden agenda or freaky competitiveness going on. That makes me trust it more.
One final note about lyrics:
When I was younger I got to spend the better part of an evening sitting on top of a burned out Pinto in an abandoned parking lot with a young Micahel Stipe, right after R.E.M. had formed. He told me something to the effect that "if the lyrics make too much sense it's not rock and roll."
According to Michael, and I am paraphrasing, COUNTRY is literal (I walked down to the store today at noon in Memphis) but rock and roll is supposed to be more obscure, and is supposed to resonate in the subconscious. In great rock and roll, he postulated, every listener takes the lyric and hears it in an entirely different way and makes it their own secret story. Or that was the gist of it.
I think I tend to agree with him.
And I am looking forward to a lot more inspiration from this great forum. Thanks!

David, this is your best yet. The melody draws you in. Great cryptic lyrics. Well produced and well sung. I like it a lot and am going back for more. Tom

Hi David,
My goodness. It sounds like you really enjoyed putting this one together. The write, the performance and the production abound with enthusiasm. It's been really interesting watching your journey of the forum. One thing that's clear to me is that BIAB/RB has unleashed a whole heap of musical possibilities for you. And you seem to be chasing and catching every one of them.
All the best,
Noel I agree with Noel I think your songs and delivery are getting better with each song. Like this one. My thoughts exactly. Great job.

David,
Enjoy hearing different sides of you. This is like Dylan meets the Boss. I enjoyed the story and the raw emotion. Not trying to analyze it - just listening as a listener and you made me believe what the singer was singing. I thought you did a great job on the song.
(Sorry, I didn't read through all this thread - not much time on here tonight.)

Hello David,
As Bob says you can hear Dylan's and Tom Petty's style in this one.
I like the arpeggiated guitar in background.
Nice lyrics. Very well sung (singing angry) very suitable to the style

Can’t say much more or better than what was already said, the mix, the lyric, the Dylanisk vocal and poetry like lyrics …love it.
About your comments about lyrics; I have a friend who worked with many rock groups as a publisher, producer or manager. He has walls full of platinum and gold RIAA certified records…anyway he pretty much gave me the same advice about rock lyrics. Hearing that you had the same advice from a young John Michael Stipe is a nice reminder and conformation to guide me writing for that genre of music. Thanks for sharing your story.
Atze
