Description
This is a remix of the song "I'm Dyin'." I even changed the title. A couple of posters from iComposition gave me a couple of suggestions concerning drums and tambourine. Plus I changed the bass and guitar.

Thanks for all your comments on the other version. I hope you like this one.

Lyrics
The 13th Floor (I’m Dying)

Don’t know how I’m missing out
Hiding from the rain when it’s all about
Staying sheltered from the wind that shouts
I’m Dyin’

Can’t remove what I can’t perceive
Can not give what I can’t receive
Defining myself by what I deceive
I’m Dyin
Oooo, I’m Dyin’
Ooooo, I’m Dyin’

Bureaucratic politics put my mind to sleep
I can’t get up, I can’t make a peep
I can’t climb out, cause I’m in too deep

Eyes are open, but I’ve closed the door
Living on the top of the thirteenth floor
I cannot deny that there isn’t much more
I’m Dyin’

Cancer has taken my heart and soul
Tuberculized my brain and took its toll
Deception was the shovel that dug the hole
I’m Dyin
Oooo, I’m Dyin’
Ooooo, I’m Dyin’

One other thing . . .
For the keyboard sounds I used software instruments from Garage Band.

yo yo yo what it is
hey I use to have a fender jazz bass, I miss that thang!
Well put together. The organ intro and out go sound way cool.
The bass sounds particularly sweet in the intro, with the guitar part eeeking in there, and then your thick and Randy Newmanish vox sunds just right for the tune.
You tease me with the guitar riffs. I long for a hard hitting guitar solo somewhere in this great tune.
Maybe this could be the single vrsion and then you could just tweek the ending to include the guitar solo just for me...(old guitar solo guy from back in the day)
hehehe
cool tune man/with great lyrics to boot

peace

Thanks
Thanks for your comments and time. You are very kind.

I thought about more guitar in here and fooled around with some, but less sounded better. I didn't want the guitar to overwhelm the song. The Jazz Bass did do the job. I was very pleased with the way that turned out.
