Description:
Don`t try to fight against what`s in your mind! It`s stronger than everything!
Lyrics:
It took a lifetime to know it`s a battle
"My life`s a mess"
It`s so hard to say
My only wish, to be a horse without a saddle
Is just a million miles away
"It took a whole lotta love"
It`s a riddle
My only friend is so hard to reach
And when we met
On the road, in the middle
The latest trick, we`ve tried to teach
The more I hate it
The more I loose a friend of mine
I can`t await it
The Sign
The only way is to climb up the ladder
Some of the rungs may be good or bad
To see the Sign
Makes your thoughts even better
You realize: Our lives are mad
Try to believe
Make up your mind
Read every word on the Sign
Guitar Solo
The more I hate it
The more I loose a friend of mine
I can`t await it
The Sign, the Sign

Soft and lazy &mdash 10/19/05 - 06:56:36 PM
well polished song &mdash 10/19/05 - 07:01:01 PM
Great sound &mdash 10/19/05 - 07:04:56 PM
Very nice playing and singing. I dig the swinging groove in this piece, kind of hypnotic. Great job! [ Reply to This ]
excellent &mdash 10/19/05 - 07:06:25 PM
This has a flavor of Steely Dan. Those lush harmonies and that slick jazzy
guitar, the whole thing is warm and vibrant. It pulls me right in. Great
talent. [ Reply to This ]
PUT YOUR NAME ON IT &mdash 10/19/05 - 07:13:42 PM
I just downloaded this and found that none of the tags were filled out so
it comes up as an anonymous artist, nothing attributing the song to you.
I manually put the info in myself but I suspect that most people won't do
that and it will get lost in a long playlist and possibly get passed on to
other people who can never know who made the music.
I give this same basic speech whenever I find that someone has neglected
to fill out their tags. [ Reply to This ]
cool wes montgomery feel in the beginning &mdash 10/19/05 - 07:30:26 PM
Very nice, like the guitar work afterword. Nice singin as well. Like your
James Taylor type tonality you get out of your voice. The harmonies are so
lush as well.
Great going! Cool percussion feel. This tune is can put a person in a nice
mood grooving to the sounds. [ Reply to This ]
great feel &mdash 10/19/05 - 08:03:44 PM
i really love the way you play and sing. there`s so much in it, it`s amazing! once again an unbelievable piece of music. [ Reply to This ]
wow, its artistic &mdash 10/19/05 - 08:19:49 PM
this is definately the best youve made here at macjams. overwhelming and wonderful.
highest marks for that. [ Reply to This ]
Very good... jazzy &mdash 10/19/05 - 11:36:39 PM
Very good mix and overall "groove". Definately has a jazzy feel to it. Very relaxing to listen to and I like the lyrics. Well done, my respect is earned. [ Reply to This ]
Another great post Ingo &mdash 10/20/05 - 01:46:32 AM
Another great post Ingo! Love the bass, love the Steely Dan guitar -
you're sounding more and more like James Taylor vocally. Great
harmonies, fantastic song. Have I forgotten anything? Oh yes, brilliant
production. Like Peter said, make sure you put your name on your
work though. Neil [ Reply to This ]
Not my type of music &mdash 10/20/05 - 06:25:15 AM
But sometimes I am surprised by things I hear and are open to new music
I never thought I initially would like. This is one of thus moments, with
this clearly very good and inspiring song. The lyrics are very good as is
the vocals, wow. Everything is well performed and the mix sits very tight
in my speakers and headphones. Very good work. [ Reply to This ]
Well done &mdash 10/20/05 - 07:39:37 AM
Excellent presentation.
Has the feel of waiting, subtle edge or unease. [ Reply to This ]
Gradual afternoon &mdash 10/20/05 - 07:52:48 AM
Sweet guitar.
Sweet harmonics.
Sound with good bass.
The melody is wonderful as usual. [ Reply to This ]
nice and smooth [insert name here] &mdash 10/20/05 - 09:39:07 AM
This is great smooth music, nice melody, excellent singing/harmony,
nice mixing (*very slightly* muddy, needs a tiny bit of sparkle-boost &
bass boost I think?) And because this so good, I'll reiterate Peter's
comment... with great music that you are posting for the world to find,
make sure to add those mp3 tags in the file (AND insert your music
artwork in there too!) so that when this great music wanders to other
people's iTunes, they can see who wrote it & find your URL in there!
ttfn,

Great track - so soft and smooth.
Excellent performance and production.
A big, fat download! [ Reply to This ]
Totally Professional &mdash 10/20/05 - 11:47:46 AM
This could be on any easy listening station anywhere. Great laid back
smooth feel with nice production.
[Insert Stuff Here]
Myself, i would like to know a little more about how you recorded the
song. You listed a little bit of your hardware.. but what about musical
instruments... musicians... did you do all of this yourself... i gotta know!
Again, nice piece. [ Reply to This ]
Ready for Primetime &mdash 10/20/05 - 04:21:48 PM
Hello I.G.M.
Great sound. Like Wes Montegomery and James Taylor all rolled into
one!....Boy, if you can keep up the consistency in quality I see no reason
not to do a CD and go on iTunes....you do it through CD Baby, ya Know.
BRAVO! Peace, digitalnirvana9 [ Reply to This ]
Awesome! &mdash 10/20/05 - 06:51:57 PM
Love the nice smooth guitar and the rich, sweet vocal harmonies.
Wonderful! [ Reply to This ]

so... &mdash 10/21/05 - 01:05:35 PM
...easy on the ears! All the elements are so smooth. The guitar is
fantastic - yet another person on macjams who makes me wish i was a
much better guitarist. The harmonies are so spot on. Piano
accompanies nicely too. Congrats on a good 'un! [ Reply to This ]
Excellent. &mdash 10/21/05 - 08:42:58 PM
It's really got that Steely Dan sound in the rhythm section and guitars,
with echoes of The Section. Lead vocals have that JT tonality, and the
harmonies are resonant of Crosby Nash at times, too...
The songwriting itself, the lyrics especially, are your own all the way.
Your songs and productions are just flat out excellent...
And Peter's right. Put your name on it.

Very Smoothe &mdash 10/22/05 - 08:24:47 AM
Kinda "Steely Dan" gets James Taylor to sing lead vox - beautiful
performance and production. [ Reply to This ]
really nice song! &mdash 10/22/05 - 08:49:58 AM
You've got a great singing voice, and your work on the chorus to put in
the harmonies was spot on. Great job on the guitars, too!
My only quibble (and it's a minor one) is that there are a few points
where the vocals got a little "mushy" and I couldn't quite make out
what was being said. Other than that, this was very well done! [ Reply to This ]
This is great &mdash 10/22/05 - 08:58:17 AM
Great track...very polished indeed! This reminds me of the first Steely
Dan album 'Can't buy a thrill' (my fave one)... the guitar work and
vocals are excellent. Well done!

although &mdash 10/22/05 - 09:12:02 AM
this is a bit out of my field of "expertise" i rate the production values,
the harmonies and also i thought the lead guitar if thats what you call
it, was very chill and nicely done.
the onlly detraction, was somehow the chorus about the sign could be
made to be more memorable, bbrought out a it by bringing in a
different instrument or something to make it stand out [ Reply to This ]
nice work &mdash 10/23/05 - 06:21:36 PM
Good flowing song. It fits in all ways. Excellent to hear the keys having a go too. Great solo guitar to complement the feel of the song. [ Reply to This ]
sounds good &mdash 10/24/05 - 02:27:04 PM
good eighties feel.
I feel like singing along with.
definitely grabs atttention.
thanks for the listening pleasure! [ Reply to This ]
Well... &mdash 10/25/05 - 08:27:56 AM
It's not my type of music, but what you've done is excellent under all
aspects. My deep admiration... [ Reply to This ]
Balancing act... &mdash 10/25/05 - 09:09:19 AM
Not only physically, but musically as well. Very nice "venture" into the
"Other". Maybe "New Age" or even "Rock" as a genre for this? James
Taylor stylish, yet unique in it's own sense. Great production and
performances... musically and vocally. [ Reply to This ]
Very clean and refreshing &mdash 10/25/05 - 05:37:19 PM
JT meets John Mayer &mdash 11/08/05 - 06:50:07 AM
Two of my favorites, and you keep sharing tunes that are just as good.
Not only good in writing, but as professionally done as anything
anywhere. You are really good. Thank you for sharing your music for
free, we are very lucky! [ Reply to This ]
Ya Baby! &mdash 01/03/06 - 06:18:21 PM
Hmm... Great vocals and harmonies, Smooth guitar and keys, Just the
right bassline and slinky drums.
I'm not even worthy to comment on your stuff... lol.
Very impressive.
Cheers... Marcel. [ Reply to This ]
Steely Dan man... &mdash 02/26/06 - 01:04:48 AM
This is one of the best... maybe the best song I have listened to on
MJ in the two years I have been here. Perfect, cool. The level of
your performance, the artistic arrangement, the production, and the
absolutely out of sight guitar and vocals. It is really a pleasure to
listen to this song.
Yeah, Fagen and Becker... make a little room for this guy up there on
the stage. He deserves it.
So very, very cool. [ Reply to This ]
sweet &mdash 04/04/06 - 12:43:32 PM
You've got a way with a song... i'm coming back to your sight every so
often cause I want to get through your whole page.. great feel, steely
dan-ish... I love wha your doin' here... great mix... and playing hi
