well: right then; terry will fill in the blanks, a repost of a song i love and he made it magic
jack

Lyrics:
So I picked up the phone, but I put it back down
Cos I know there ain't nobody there
Somebody said that they saw you in Memphis
You were happy, and had cut your hair
I don't know what's gonna happen now
But I don't want to hurt anymore
It always seemed so simple, but it's not so simple
anymore

How did it get so that I don't know where you are
Was I just some kind of fool
I always imagined the two of us together
But I guess I broke every rule
Baby I just want to tell you I'm sorry
But maybe that's not enough
And maybe you don't want to hear it, but baby
Where are you tonight?

Oh no, Losing in Miami seems the only thing left to gain
Oh no, Losing in Miami, where nobody knows my name

Will I ever be part of the world that you're living in
Do you have a place for me?
If you can't come here, then I'll gladly go there
Just tell me where you want me to be
I'm running along on a beach going nowhere
Everything stops at the sea
There's too many miles between Memphis and Miami
For you heart to ever find me

Oh no, Losing in Miami seems the only thing left to gain
Oh no, Losing in Miami where nobody knows my name

Stop hurting, friend. Then I can rest easy, too. Nice job on this. Sounds like a real song from a real radio station.

(Cherokee for "thanks' ) I should inquire our friends at the radio station if they feel the same. I suppose I should first make some friends at the radio station. Thanks for the encouragement.

Lovely &mdash 02/08/08 - 05:15:48 PM
song and excellent sounding. Lovely keyboards, guitars and vocals - I agree with Richard above - sounds straight off the radio.
DA2? - confused now - it's all too much - maybe its just me seeing double?
Cheers
Len

Losing in Miami. Sorry for the confusion about davisamerica (jack) and davisamerica2 (terry). Jack helped me establish my place here on macjams, but sadly to say: here in a world reserved for creative minds, my creativity suddenly abandoned me, and when he asked me what I wanted to call myself, I said "I dunno." So he loaned me his name. It is appropriate though, for we are identical twins. Quite a freak of nature though, seeing as how we have different parents. Oh, and Pat (Outaorbit) is our identical cousin. We all live in Davis, America. Come visit. We're on the map. We even have a postcard.

Glad you liked the tune Moses &mdash 02/10/08 - 08:49:24 PM
As for investing in beach front property, I think that once you factor in global warming, you might want to put your money in Oklahoma. The sandy beaches may look a little green from cow manure, but the mountain oysters will be to die for!

Croce &mdash 02/08/08 - 08:15:40 PM
Im hearing Croce in this, Really nice tune guys!

Wow I'm really loving this, too much to absorb to get specific,
it just sounds great guitars, organ and so on...

[ Reply to This ]
Croce? &mdash 02/10/08 - 09:03:07 PM
Now that's a compliment! Thanks a lot! I loved that guy, and curse him for not living longer, and giving us more. Thanks again.

Good one &mdash 02/09/08 - 01:40:14 AM
At first the guitar fx put me off (makes it sound out of tune), but once the band joined in it made more musical sense. Wouldn't mind a straight acoustic sound instead though.

Very good song, very classy production, and nice playing and singing. That first acoustic is still bugging me though.

Love the steel - could take some more of that.

Cheers from Oz,
Neil

Thanks Neil &mdash 02/10/08 - 09:20:22 PM
for the kind words. The bare acoustics still sound naked to me when I perform this song, so I think you might have something there. Will consider your input, and work on it till it suits us both.

miami blues &mdash 02/09/08 - 01:04:54 PM
nice tune. this could of fit in nicely on early 70's radio.

Tom mentioned Croce. I think he pretty much nailed the essence of that.

Thanks Vic &mdash 02/10/08 - 09:44:05 PM
As stated: Love radio. Love Croce! Love your comments and your appreciation. Will try to give you more. Terry

I loved &mdash 02/09/08 - 01:44:26 PM
this the first time and it sounds great now too. I love the little touches here and there like the steel guitar, but the vocal, lyrics and performance are really top notch. It sounds like I've always known this song it's so comfortable sounding. Should be aired on the radio..... Regards M

flashbacks... &mdash 02/12/08 - 01:36:52 PM
Wow, this is a well-crafted song, and great singing and lyrics, guys! I hear little snippets of Jim Croce, Cat Stevens, and a bunch of "DavisAmerica"... love the (Mr. Bo) jangly sound.
ttfn,
Drakonis

Thank you Drak &mdash 02/15/08 - 07:39:35 PM
Jack gave my guitar that Bo Jangly sound. I concurred. It seems to work. I appreciate your comments. Jack came up this weekend to work on another one. Hope we don't disappoint you with that one. Thanks again.
