Description:
This is a retake of an older song. It's just a quick and simple punk type rocker. It's amazing how everything sounds better with the right software. It was originally sang by a friend of mine, it's all me on this one. Vocals are definitely my weaker spot.
This is sure a fun one to play though.

Lyrics:
There’s nothing left for me to do but sit around and watch life go south
Dedicated to all of you every minute of every hour
Seems to me you’d rather spend your time with someone less interesting
Being more than just a passerby, except for being just a friend
Sure we got time for simple hellos, long goodbyes are more like your thing
When as far as I can let you know, I’m in love but you’re so vain

It’s too late now for apologies I’m not sticking around just to see
How you end this trilogy of relationships between you and me
But I’ve waited so long and tried so hard
To figure out what I did wrong, but now I’m tired
Of putting the blame on myself, it’s time to put to someone else
You pushed me so far away, But now that you're gone Lord help me
Now I know it’s safe to say there’s nothing here worth investing in.

There’s nothing left for me to do but sit around and watch life go south
Dedicated to all of you every minute of every hour
Seems to me you’d rather spend your time with someone less interesting
Being more than just a passerby, except for being just a friend
Sure we got time for simple hellos, long goodbyes are more like your thing
When as far as I can let you know, I’m in love but you’re so vain

on my own. Good sign (for the song, not for me)

Love the DOD's &mdash 02/14/08 - 07:57:11 PM
I looked for a while for the right drums and after listening to a few MJ'ers tunes including some of yours, I went with DOD. Works great. Yeah, there is a mix of sounds, I wasn't sure what genre to classify it under.
Thanks for the comments!

Cool &mdash 02/16/08 - 01:47:34 PM
Great intro, with the panning... This sounds great.... It's a really great mix, you've made here.... It's a download.... Like that kind of rock....

Thanks &mdash 02/17/08 - 12:23:01 AM
It's almost difficult getting the right sound on a simple track. I worked on the mix for a while and kept thinking I should add more. But I ended up leaving it stripped down.
Thanks for the listen Lightman!

Love it! &mdash 02/16/08 - 11:18:43 PM
This kicks out the jams alright. Nice guitar sound, and great playing. Those drums sound good, too. Love the bass sound on this. Your voice has great expressiveness, and you do a good job of wrapping your tongue around all those lyrics! Good mix and some nice panning. Very cool. Nicely done, my friend. Peace.

I'm &mdash 02/17/08 - 02:12:14 AM
working on vocals the hardest right now. I'm trying to find a tone I can use. Glad to hear they sound alright to someone. Mixing is a hell of a challenge for me sometimes also.

Thanks for checking this song out!

bass &mdash 02/17/08 - 09:12:00 PM
Yeah, I changed up the bass line a little from the original. I think it added a little to the overall sound.
I need to come by your site again soon! Thanks.

loud rock &mdash 02/17/08 - 09:18:56 PM
Loud definitely rules. Most of my songs tend to go this direction. I've been trying to write stuff that is a little more mellow, but keep coming back. Oh well, as long as it works.

love that opening riff man. great stuff

Yeah &mdash 02/20/08 - 10:03:00 PM
It doesn't sound quite as clean as I wanted but thats part of the problem with recording direct. Thanks for listening!

... &mdash 04/13/08 - 10:24:51 AM
production sounds pretty good. like the use of clean to dirty guitar. singing isn't too bad. just needs more confidence and agression. nice guitar playing.

more agression &mdash 04/22/08 - 10:05:47 PM
Yeah, I'm still trying to figure out the vocals. I've always had someone else doing the vocals for me so its a new avenue for me.
Thanks for the comments!

thanks Peter. I used to be able to record with real amps - now I'm trying to figure out these amp simulators in GB. All of my tracks here are done plugging in direct. Seems to work for the most part.
Thanks for stopping by.
Nick
