Description:
About you when you realize that your friends are not your friends and they used you just for something they needed you for.


Lyrics:
[Verse I]
All the people don't know me
They talk behind my back
About what i do and what i say
But that is not ok

[Verse II]
Sometimes i ask myself
If they are really friends
Sometimes i cry in my bed
But they don't care for that

[Verse III]
If they really like me
They would talk to me
But now i know
They are not my friends

[Chorus]
I never ever wanna be like them
Never ever wanna talk to them
Phone them
Want them
Kiss them
Hug them
Have them

[Verse IV]
Now I know that i don't need you
I will leave you now
You will hang on the phone
But I'll leave you alone

[Chorus]
I never ever wanna be like them
Never ever wanna talk to them
Phone them
Want them
Kiss them
Hug them
Have them anymore

Green Day better watch out!
Great melody in this - very memorable. This is a BIG song and would not be out of place on a major band's set list.

Fading at the end and leaving the dry guitar could have been better, but hey, it's still a damn fine tune.

Glad I tuned in.

loud and laidback
I like the organ and the strings in this, the way the chorus kicks in and how you have ideas for each verse. the vocal line is ok to me.

Your best so far, maybe.

Lots of...
...good ideas. It's all very loud, and as others have said some of the instruments are a bit dry. Agree about the vocals - you have lots of "attitude", but are lacking a bit of subtlety to counterbalance it.

The guitar sound at the end is pretty horrible. I find recording guitars a nightmare, and haven't sussed it yet, but I think some experimentation is needed on this track to set it back in the mix a bit.

That said, this is a really nice track with lots going for it. And respect for the bare-faced pimping self-promotion on the forum: it got me here!

BTW: there's something about your voice which is very similar to Magazine circa 1979 - go and check out their album "Second Hand Daylight" to see what I mean

thanks a lot
thanks for your detailed comment to my song.
i'm very happy to have commenters as you are one.
i will try to make my guitar recordings a bit better and not this dry ...
when you say you find guitar recordings horrible do you mean mine or just generally for you to do it...?

if you would comment my other songs too i would be very pleased !!!

oh yeah and i will hear a few songs on this album.

I totally get it. (Never wanna be like them)
I really like this - It stands on it's own. It's almost a parody of itself - meaning you are expressing what goes thru your head and almost wishin that they would have the same thought for themselves about the relationship. The slightly out of tune guitar just reveals the rawness of it.
reminiscent of tubular bells
