Description
It is my intention to post a bunch of unfinished or "needs work" material here at MacJams, to see if there is any interest in it. Maybe to collaborate and make something new and better, or maybe just to introduce folks to the man behind the curtain. However, there is a definite risk of being seen as terrificly amateur. While that may yet be, I wanted to post a song or two that is current in my repertoire to at least demonstrate what has been done recently. I can't guarantee everyone will like it. I could dare to hope! But I know realistically that's not going to happen. But at least I can show something more presentable so you aren't ALL scared away! This song is one that I wrote just a couple of years ago and completed re-recording this spring. Of course I would like it to "be better" than it is, but with limited time juggling work and family, I think it's alright as-is. It's a classic demo of what I'm going for lately: A solid rock/blues framework, acoustically rendered, but hopefully with a very modern feel and a liquid flow. This song is my personal favorite from the last year's work. And for anyone that might want to check out more or support the work of the artist, remember to check the offsite homepage or search CDBaby for "Polly PUt the Kettle On". ITunes etc are not up yet (but will be). If you would do me one favor I'll try to repay: What other act does this make you think of? The "if you like A you'll love B" type question. If this song is B what is A? If that's as hard for you as it is for me, don't worry about it. Thanks!

Lyrics
You let your innocence deceive you
you let your dark perspective dig your grave
Your reputation must precede you
'cause everything you've done gives you away
I know that I have sung this song before
So what do I have left to say
I wonder have I even lived this life before
Am I reliving all the same mistakes
Digging deeper down through sifting sands
All the promises you've broken
Washing your hands of all your lies
Your past will never see the light
There's nothing else that feels so empty
as knowing you won't even try
to save this man from constant failure
You dare to look me in the eye
you let your dark perspective dig your grave
Your reputation must precede you
'cause everything you've done gives you away
I know that I have sung this song before
So what do I have left to say
I wonder have I even lived this life before
Am I reliving all the same mistakes
Digging deeper down through sifting sands
All the promises you've broken
Washing your hands of all your lies
Your past will never see the light
There's nothing else that feels so empty
as knowing you won't even try
to save this man from constant failure
You dare to look me in the eye
