Lyrics

God Didn't Tell You

Chorus:
God didn't tell you to do this
You did it all on your own
Did you really think that we just might miss
What you really want is a throne?

Now I believe there is a Great Spirit,
Believe as much as anyone can.
You claim divine direction, but I fear it
Just wasn't part of His plan

It drives you crazy when others
Won't live the way that you say
You force your views upon your brothers
It's the dawn of a new bloody day

Blame it on your situation if you want to
But it really won't matter one bit
Cause when people do the things like what you do
It's self-righteousness — isn't it!

Nah, nah, nah, n'n'n'n'nah, nah

Right on Man!
Nice lyrics and great production. I also liked the stereo mix
of the song. Good arrangements and good sounding drums.
Right on with the lyrics "God didn't tell you to do this." It
amazes me how so many people have tunnel vision when it
comes to religion. Anyway, without getting into a lenghty
dicussion about religion and Osama and other peoples views
on religion, well done on this recording.

Check out my latest song called The End

	Right on Man! Thanks 8. Particularly for the nod on the mix. I've been struggling with mixing and it's good to think I'm making progress. --- When philosophy and reality collide, reality wins Check out my latest song called The Wolf 7

	cool folk rock tune liked the phaser guitar and the clean stratocoustic sound. The vocals are perfect for this song, nah nah.........catchy. I likes, was just missing a great dragon solo. Cheers

	cool folk rock tune Thanks Katch. I daydreamed a lot putting this one together, thinking about performing it on some huge outdoor stage to a sea of people. If we ever get to that, maybe you'd join me on stage and we could trade off solos. cheers. --- When philosophy and reality collide, reality wins Check out my latest song called The Wolf 7

	cool! This reminded me of later John Lennon solo stuff, and the phaser guitar is realy great. Very catchy!, Check out my latest song called Weather or Not w/awigze

	cool! Jim, it was one of those "please-don't-take-a-picture" bad days until I read your comment. I think you know how much John Lennon means to me. Thank you so much. --- When philosophy and reality collide, reality wins Check out my latest song called The Wolf 7

	Very funky Excellent use of that Dano phaser and Crybaby pedal. Nah nah nah! Cool lyrics- even though the inspiration for the song is spelled out in caps in the description it could easily be true for any zealot out there that believes theirs is the only way. Nice work, gents! Check out my latest song called Ballad of The Little Tiki

snowdragon	snowdragon said 1537 days ago (September 6th, 2005)
	Very funky Thanks AC. I always hope my lyrics will work in more than one situation. And you know, as I was plugging in the pedal, I was thinking: "I'll bet Adam will have something to say about this." Thanks for not disappointing me. --- When philosophy and reality collide, reality wins Check out my latest song called The Wolf 7

	Yeah I can relate to this...I have a track along similar lines called 'Small Men With Big Ideas' that I might record one day... I hate the ideological justifications for violence that are always so prevalent. This is a cool track by the way! Nice one Steve Check out my latest song called Electricity

snowdragon	snowdragon said 1537 days ago (September 6th, 2005)
	Yeah Thanks Steve. Looking forward to "Small Men." I'm sure I'll be able to relate. --- When philosophy and reality collide, reality wins Check out my latest song called The Wolf 7

	Very welll done I like your na-na's. :) The ending where the sound kicks off before the file could be a bit smoother, unless you wanted to leave the impression of someone turning off the lights (so to speak) at the end of the recording.

snowdragon	snowdragon said 1536 days ago (September 7th, 2005)
	Very welll done Turn out the lights. I love that! Yeah, let's say that's just what I had in mind. lol Thanks Mungy. --- When philosophy and reality collide, reality wins Check out my latest song called The Wolf 7

	By the way... your song artwork really is quite a touching picture. The hand of God reaching out to all those killed, injured, or otherwise as a result of the dastardly deeds of that day. Your heart comes through loud and clear.

snowdragon	snowdragon said 1535 days ago (September 8th, 2005)
	By the way... Thanks D. You know I'm not one to wear my heart on my sleeve but you also know how much that day got to me. --- When philosophy and reality collide, reality wins Check out my latest song called The Wolf 7
