Description:
Righteous comes in many ways. obtaining the future, relishing the present, relinquish the past. style wise this is my early todd phase.

Lyrics:
penney has no face
penney's on the stree
every nickel she saves
enters the lottery
comes into money
a penney saved
is a penney earned

chorus
righteous thoughts always pay off
righteous hearts
always shine on
righteous minds
know right from wrong

broken down car wash
cleans some souls
with some help
from mr. otto (it goes like this boys)
preaches from comics (and he few so high)
hidden identities (he wore a polka dot mask)
and the fantasies
what he says

chorus
righteous thoughts always pay off
righteous hearts
always shine on
righteous minds
know right from wrong

chorus 2
Righteous sometimes
don't you know
righteous sometimes

righteous sometimes
and it shows
righteous sometimes

faded memories
served us well
remembering the fun
laying in the sun
rebellious youth
we served ourselves
turn back time
we could of had it all

chorus
righteous thoughts always pay off
righteous hearts
always shine on
righteous minds
know right from wrong

Righteous sometimes
don't you know
righteous sometimes

righteous sometimes
and it shows
righteous sometimes

Love the sound you got on the heavy rhythm and those lead licks...yum! A
worthy addition to the VH catalogue.

i should give you a little credit &mdash 10/06/06 - 08:42:25 PM
i was brain dead for lyrics, with our back & forth chats. something snapped into
place. a realization of things people go through past present & future and how
they overcome to find an ideal place in there own world. you my man have a
righteous mind.

Vic

Thanks much Feter &mdash 10/08/06 - 12:01:06 PM
actually i have only become comfortable with my voice earlier this year. not
much of a range, so sometimes i do strain on notes. but so it goes. i figure if i'm
having fun on it others will pick up on it. to me thats what this site is all about.
thanks for the comments!

There is nothing wrong with straightforward pop songs. And this is a
good one. Nice guitar work, and I love how you recorded the vocals.

Thanks Vic &mdash 10/08/06 - 12:10:00 PM
To many influences growing up i think. a lot of pop as well as hard rock. ilike to
mix it up. on the vocal i did a ever popular tortured artist effect. singing the
whole song straight through numerous times without a drink of water to get the
shredded vocal effect. some notes strain, but i was after the feel and effect.
thanks for taking the time to cooment.

Tortured artist? &mdash 10/08/06 - 02:14:23 PM
Do I hear a Todd Rundgren fan here? I have lot of his old stuff and some of the
new. Second wind was kind of the last album I liked. Oh, did you hear that Roger
Powell has a new CD out? Of course, if you're not a Todd fan, forget I wrote this.

i didn't think anyone.. &mdash 10/08/06 - 02:36:17 PM

A lot, lot, lot to like... &mdash 10/09/06 - 03:16:39 PM
This is catchy, pop-y, but it's got something to say. The vocals are good. I
really like the guitars, and particularly the guitar solo. Thought the drums
were just right. The song's good... you could play it on an acoustic and
not lose the whole feel... Altogether a good one... Ed

thanks ed &mdash 10/09/06 - 09:08:09 PM
probably about 95% of my songs are originally written on the acoustic. i hadn't
thought about it but it might be fun to go back and record acoustic versions. i
do have acoustic songs, just haven't posted any. thanks for giving me the idea.
sorry i'm not going to pay you for it.

good song and art werk,I like your live sound playing, its refreshing to hear live musicians jamming.You remind me of a sober CurtCobain style vocalist.Good production/mix

thanks vincent &mdash 10/10/06 - 09:07:14 PM
most of the time i just like the immediatcy of getting the song down and not
dwell on it. some fixes here and there. sure is a learning curve trying to get
things to sound decent. thanks for the comments and listen it is much
appreciated.
