Description
A song about the frustrations of the daily grind, the futility found in the alternative, and the joy in realizing what you had all along.

Another live impromptu song/jam...recorded in a small dark room.
This song was slightly edited to make it shorter...about 2 minutes was cut off the end...
We are working on fleshing this one out a make a cleaner richer sounding version...

Ryan Chubb - vocals/guitar
Jared Puppe - bass
Barry Lane - drums

Lyrics
Nagging Questions...(lyrics slightly modified from jam)

I wanted to vent now...
Shake this useless existence - the complaints of a working man...
I drive to work - It's early in the morning
I don't want to go - Save me
I don't want to go...

I go inside, walk down the aisle
past people who don't ask questions
Ah, the droopy faces, the saddest faces you've ever seen.

Oh...I want something else...and not what they promised.
Get back to life and this journey inside...
I walked out and into what you said was gold...

And I feel so alive, now that I found this answer to that nagging question
And I want to be something more than just an answer to my sacred question...

I...feel so alive now that I found this answer inside...
...to this question of pride...

And I wanted more than what was here before you came to me...alright...alright now...

nice work. I'm sure you hear the comparison a lot but early U2 obviously
springs to mind. The bass rattling the snare at the beginning was a fond
reminder of my own days in a band - i kinda love that bass buzzing the
hell out of the snare thing.

Oh My God!!!!
This song rocks.

Excellent job. You do sound like U2. In a good way, of course. Think
about how rich and famous those guys are.

Again, excellent job.

Nothing better than jams like this when things just fall together. Man- I
miss jamming like this. Gonna change that real fast.

Thanks for the inspiration and a nice pure rock song.

Family Man???
Time? time is my enemy...it pushes me through life...I push back...
Truthfully this is how it goes...I am home, minding my own business and then I hear bass and drums...what else can I do but join in...this song is all Jared's fault...and there was no writing of any kind...

me. The performance was perfect. Damn.

Nice Tune
Very good song chaps!!!!!
Your bands name speaks for wisdom and originality, and you can definately see it come out in this song.
Your bass player kicks ass!!!!!!
He seems like a guy that's full of energy and enthusiasum. The bass licks at the beginning are some of the best notes put together I've heard in a while. He reminds me of....dare I say.....a welcome blend of Geddy Lee and Rob Trujillo, with a splash of John Paul Jones.
The other members of the band sound good as well.
Excellent work.
Mokus said 2756 days ago (November 4th, 2005)
Nice Tune
Thanks Nicky,
I hope the band name is original - we can't stand one more lawsuit...as for wise, it more speaks towards our propensity for walking verses running and other tiring exercises (playing music is not a sport people - we're too old for sports)

Jared will love this comment...I, on the other hand, feel pushed to the side and left for forgotten :)
thankx!!!

Nice song!
Really like your sound... and you've got a great voice! Like almost everyone here, I'm reminded about early Bono when I hear you... I've heard all of your other songs and I can see a band with their own sound... keep on working, I'd love to hear more of you!!! :)
