Lyrics:
Ordinary Boring LifeIf you feel a little bit down
like you did before
There's no use on breaking down the door
You gotta' keep it up
Everthing's gonna' be the same,
well, I don't play that game
There's no one to blame
You gotta' keep it up
before you giveit up
You've got just another ordinary boring life
You've got just another ordinary boring life
You don't have to live to regret
if you don't place the bet
This I Know
True it may be up to you
So don't play the fool
There's nothing to do
if you give it up
You gotta' keep it up
You've got just another ordinary boring life
You've got just another ordinary boring life
Chasing dreams of what used to be
and you get around, but you never leave town
you just keep it up, you have given up
If you lack the common sense to take a stand
and you don't break or bend
You let no one in
You never give an inch
You've got just another ordinary boring life
You've got just another ordinary boring life

Catches you with that opening vibe, and then that nice descending guitar kicks in. Very cool. The vocal performance is great, although at times it seems buried in the mix. Could just be my speakers, though. Nice work.

Always struggling with the vox level, always very tricky. Thanks for the comments.

This is my favourite so far... Well constructed and recorded... It's on my ipod already...
Glad to have heard you...
lavalamp
Thanks for listening to the other ones as well. Thanks for the good words and hope to hear from you again.

Hey lavalamp,
what a cool song you have here. This is the first time I've heard your stuff, and I really thing this is dynamite. Love the unusual descending riff, then the killer break, and excellent lead. Vocals are really great - somewhere between Lloyd Cole and Jim Kerr.
Thanks for posting a comment on my song, I might not have found you. Now I must hear the rest of your stuff.
lavalamp
I really appreciate your comments. I'd just like more people to tell me what they think. I hope to hear some more from you in the future. Thanks again.

...I'm with dajama: the lyrics are killer and get lost until the "Chasing dreams..." verse and on. Got it right after that.
Music works well with the lyrics. Strong and well played...but doesn't overshadow the words.

Feedback.That's someting I must admit I'm still need to work on, recoring and mixing the vocals. Is it too loud or quiet? I listen with headphones, computer speakers and stereo speakers and it always sounds different. Any tips?

...I'm an old hand on the guitar. Very comfortable on my instrument.
I'm a little baby drooling in my crib when it comes to singing and (esp) recording my tunes. Always left that to the studio cats. Just got GB and will soon submit my first tune. Having problems with my voice being too loud, at the moment. And this is just with solo guitar. I'm sure it'll be harder once I add other instruments.
So, as far as tips: keep at it. Like me. You're doing great. Like I said: you got it right at the "Chasing Dreams..." line and on. So, go from there. It's a really fine tune, man...
Cheers, compadre!

I think you know what I'm trying to say here. I've had this riff in my head since I heard it. I woke up with it this morning and to my surprise, I was not alone. Beside me was a dog, a rubber squeak toy, the Mayor and a well soiled kazoo...
This has nothing to do with your song. I reassured the authorities as they escorted them out of my house.
Keep it up Mr Armbuster
lavalamp
Thanks again 5EA.

...make that a jack-o-lantern!
lavalamp
I totally didn't understand your message. And where have you been?
cjdaley
I especially like the intro sounds and the way the bleeps mix with the guitar and vocals in the beginning.
lavalamp
The "bleeps" were done by a friend of my. He thought it would give it a nice touch to the song. I agree. R.C. Brown is is name, thanks Bob.

nice & strong song writing here - you have a great sound - are you signed to a lable - if not you should be - keep it goin' man - mulli
lavalamp
Not signed. I just want to be a writer, not a performer. But, thanks a lot for your comments.

Very nice song! I checked a few of your songs already and i'm impressed with the overall quality of the songs... I think you mix very well! The lyrics on this song are great too! 5 stars!
lavalamp
Thanks for commenting on one of my older ones. Sometimes you think what's the point of keeping the older ones up if no one will ever hit them again.
Thanks for checking this out.

Something in Your voice & the melodi reminds me of some band.! I just can't find it in my mind now:( : (
..some famous band/artist I'm not joking !: )
Peace lena

Why did you hit this? I always really liked this song. I posted this way too early on. I suppose. I could take it down and re-post it, but something tells me that wouldn't be right.
I really appreciate that you came along listened and commented on this.
Thanks,
Dave
