Lyrics

Chorus:
I can't go on now
Everybody tells me I'm insane.
I can't go on now
Whatever I do it's still the same.

I can't go on now
Everywhere I go she's not there.
I can't go on now
Can;t seem to shake this love affair.

v-1
Just flippin' through the channels,
my mind in a maze, I'm spinning out.
Staring at my closet, half empty staring back
since she's moved out.
And now that you mention it, you're right,
I haven't got a clue.
Maybe it was something I said to cause this
whole thing to fall through.

[chorus]
[break]

Friends tell me that it's only natural that
I'm down and feeling low.
They say, "Hey man, what's your problem?
Get over it let her go."
"There's always someone else to come along,
so get back in the game."
I think they could be right--I could be wrong,
Or just to blame.

[chorus]

	I'm...looking... ...ON.... now... Sounds like you guys had fun getting this together... Vic does a good job with Georgian slide and lead figures... The rhythm section is tight... Only thing I miss from the Beatles-y vibe is/are some multi-part/multi-person harmonies... Well done, guys... Check out my latest song called Next Time Around (w/jiguma)

Dadai.2 said 86 days ago (August 31st, 2009)

whoa.... you are amazing.
I hadn't made that connection but it is there, isn't it? Someone else in chat mentioned "On Top Of Old Smokey" and the reoccurring chorus melody line. I hadn't thought of either.... so much there in the musical background of the mind.

We did have fun, and Vic burns up the place on guitar. And I miss the harmonies also. They may yet come... but that'll be for another version now.

Thanks Ed for taking time to visit.

	Ye olde english pop song Yes, it has an early Beatles vibe. Actually, more than that it reminds me of that Beatles spoof that Todd Rundgen did at some point. Nice song no matter how you look at it. Check out my latest song called Desert Stars

Dadai.2	Dadai.2 said 82 days ago (September 4th, 2009)
	thanks Vic.... I appreciate your comments, although I stopped wearing the Todd Rundgren eye makeup a while ago... ;-) I just wanted to catch a bit of the Fab 4 vibe, which comes mainly on the heels of Vic's Harrison-like guitar work. All in all, a fun excursion into the past. So again, thanks. Jack Check out my latest song called The Riverside (with Ed sloparts sitting in)

	Harrison Cool slide guitar Vic. Just like Harrison would have done it:) Cool Beatles vibe. I like how you sing this one Jack. Bass & drums sounds perfect and puts a head nodding groove to it. Check out my latest song called Don't tell me what I can't w/KTB and Ingve

Dadai.2

Dadai.2 said 82 days ago (September 4th, 2009)

Harrison it is...
Thor, yeah Vic nails the "George" slide guitar, doesn't he. And Ed blazes the low end with such an energetic, rocking bass. The song was an acoustic guitar and vocal in demo form... could've just gone that way, but it really seem to cry out for a band... a bit of the Beatles vibe, as you say. The key was real comfortable for me, so it felt good as I sang. Good to know you liked that also, as I don't often think of myself as having much of a singer's voice.

Thanks...
Jack

	Un-Beatle-ble Instrumentation a bit behind a veil, mostly out of the chute. Too much bass? Voice is full, distinct and authoritative. Who is "she?" Check out my latest song called Against Your Will (The Trail of Tears Story)

	slide guitar who is singing??? Im sorry but it almost sound like Neil Diamond too. As far as the writing style. but the guitar sound is better than badfinger! Check out my latest song called Lets Take a Holiday

Dadai.2	Dadai.2 said 80 days ago (September 6th, 2009)
	hey there... Like it says in the song description: Vic is doing all the lead electric and slide guitar. Ed is on bass and supplies the drums. I'm singing and playing a little rhythm. Hey, I like Neil... no apologies. Vic is the original bad finger on guitar man.... Thanks for stopping in and listening... cheers.

	As I recall ... Weren't there FOUR beatles? Maybe if I get a minute a little harmony vocals might be appropriate. Or is this a Ringo song? Nice work guys Check out my latest song called The Wolf 7

Dadai.2	Dadai.2 said 47 days ago (October 8th, 2009)
	Ha! the old... where are the harmonies schtick! Yep, I await your vocal harmonies. And regarding the 4 Beatles comment.... didn't we always really think in terms of 3 Beatles... sans Ringo? cheers, D Check out my latest song called The Riverside (with Ed sloparts sitting in)

Holy Krishna!
Hey, you old coots, I'd join your club anytime (unless you'd have me as a member). And that lead guitar? Holy Krishna, Vic!

I guess i missed this one earlier but I'm glad to hear it now. Everyone's parts are nice and clear, very dynamic. Despite -- or maybe because of -- the headspace your mix affords the tracks, there's lots of neat harmonics going on. It almost feels like there's a keyboard in here.
