Description

"You are the ship I sail
Toward a tempest that waits for me.
And I'm Ahab, I chase that whale,
And my pride is killing me.
But I'm no good for myself"

Lyrics

You are the test I fail,
The measurement of where I stand.
One step from the gates of Hell,
One inch from the burning man.

But I'm no good for myself
Not by the mirror that I look into.
How can I love anybody else?
How can I ever be anything to you?

You are the ship I sail,
Toward a tempest that waits for me.
And I'm Ahab, I chase my whale,
And my pride is killing me!

But I'm no good for myself,
Not by the mirror that I look into.
How can I love anybody else?
How can I ever be anything to you?

	Great Song Domo arigato gozaimasu! btw, You are very talented and patient editor! And also your survey on the "loopiness", as it were, of your song was wonderfully and masterfully executed! Thanks Again, Jefferson --- "or...something like that" Check out my latest song called Somewhere

	Great Song Doitashimashite (You're welcome) I made that fun survey because there's a camp here at MacJams who thinks loops are evil and will cause your brain to melt. Well, they are half right. Just haven't figured out which half yet. --- Need help selecting a MacJams song? Go 'Random' with MacJams Random Song Picker Check out my latest song called Maple Leaf Rag v2

Wooden Ships in the harbor
Really like the David Crosby style electric guitar, your fingers on the
strings, the amp/recording. And your voice, very good. I thought the
entrance of the bass seemed random, altho the drums entrance was really
good, nice pick up notes. Dug the whole vibe. (Altho, in my ears, too
many repeats of the same lyric toward the end, could've used a few lyric
variations.) I thought Moby Dick was one of the greatest books ever
written; nice allegory. Really nice track.

Check out my latest song called Forge A New Life (MJRF)

	Hmm...nice Pretty cool. I really dig the guitar playing on this tune. Interesting lyrics - especially the Moby Dick reference - that are sung very well here. The bass entrance was kinda odd to my ears as well, but the full band coming in after the first chorus was well-done. Check out my latest song called All-Star Break
