Lyrics

Amanda Rose
Dave Placko © 2001

She's Amanda Rose, my light at night
She's my inspiration. I think she's outta sight
Amanda Rose! Ah, don't you go
I want you here right by my side
To be with me 'till the day I die. Amanda Rose

The first time I saw her she had on that dress
The one that made me blow my top. I fell apart, I must confess
Amanda Rose. Ah, don't you know
I think she put a spell on me
Ran my heart right up a tree. Amanda Rose

Now, if you ever leave be, babe, I don't know what I'll do
I might just crawl inside a cave to be alone with The Blues
Amanda Rose. Ah, I sure love you! Yes I do
You are to me my daily breath
Without you life would just be death. Amanda Rose

Thanks for listening
Every time I hear this, I hear a horn section. Might make a nice addition. I had a bunch of stuff in it at one time and it just muddied it up. I think, for now, I'll just keep it simple.

Fran who?
Nice one Dave - a solid performance all round - who's that guitarist again? Farn or something? He's OK I guess :) Good vocals and playing from your good self as well.
Great all round city blues as someone has already said - maybe Amanda's vox could be up a bit, but sounds good as is. Only thing I'd change (if I had that magic wand) would be to boost the overall volume and dynamics, but hey, I can just turn up the stereo!
Looking forward to some more AK rock.

Glad you liked it
I was afraid to do too much with your guitar track. I did agree that it was a bit too hot in the first go around so, I took it down a notch or two, added some compression, and eq'd to bring out some of the lower end. all very minor tweeks. I think it sits much better in the mix now. Thank you for your time. :)

Nice Groove
1st off, thanks for commenting on my latest song... I understand how you feel about the ending... I guess I was avoiding the fade out :)... now, your song....

I like the groove you got going here. It's catchy, the lyrics are easily relatable, reminds me of Doobie Brothers or something of that time... (afraid my musical knowledge isn't great in that department, though I like the style). The only thing I can comment on is a couple of the drum fills didn't feel tight in the interchange. Felt like you got caught up in something for a second. Isn't a huge problem, but just something I noticed. Otherwise, it's awesome :).

	Great!!!!!! Harmony vocals are excellent in this version. Lead fills although well played by a competant player are a little overdone... nice solo though. Lead vocal on this version is excellent. Excellent song!!!!!!! Check out my latest song called Sailing Across a Sea of Light Pt II

bug67 said 849 days ago (July 27th, 2007)

Thank you
Thanks for taking the time to listen and compare both versions. Yes, this was to be the final version. Amanda's vocal on this is outstanding as usual. She's done work for me on several of my songs and the results always floor me.

Funny you should mention the lead guitar as being a bit much for this version. I remember having to ask Fran to submit a re-do for this as his first version was WAY over the top. He generously obliged, however. I love the tone he gets out that POD. I certainly haven't figured out how he does it.

Nothin' hit you in the guts like a good blues song.
And this is just exactly that. A really good blues song.
Loved everything about it but the mix.
Bass was to hot for my tastes and the vocals just a little bit to far back in the mix.

Mind you it still sounded great and got the blood pumping, but there you have it.

Great lyrics and your delivery was superb as were the guitar chops.

Keep on keeping on, this is a keeper for me until you do a remix, and then I'll grab that one

Thanks for sharing this one.

This has the Blues Rock feel of old Slow Hand
Kind of sounds a little like Cream or the YardBirds going on in this one. Nice tight Blues number, good lyrics, great singing, Great rhythm tracks backing it all up, and Ziti's guitar is smokin' hot on the lead fills. Just gonna have to download this one Bug, Thanks for sharing.

Keep it up man, you've got it workin'
