Description
A song about the virtual loss of a bi-polar brother, my brother Tim

This version posted originally in May of 2006

Richard Schletty on vocals, my brother John (FEEL) on lead guitars and bass, me on rhythm guitar.

John helped me with this song way back when to break the monotony in the chord progression; I wrote lyrics for it and posted for the first time in Feb ‘06, without vocals.

I need to remix this with a good solid drum track, this one is repetitive and sucks. Any other production tips would be appreciated.

Lyrics
Song of 11 (II TIMOTHY I:XI)

You know your mother was a real straight shooter
Your daddy flew the skies, a true sky trooper
Together they taught love, a song, a story
They dedicated all this to His glory

Did you ever think?
Did you ever know?
It wasn’t all for you –
Will you take a drink
Of this fountain flow?
Don’t take it all for you!
Are you on the brink
Of a passion show?
It isn’t all about you!!

Back in those days when you were taught and tutored
Those times, establishment and war refuted
You gave it all your worth to live the new rule
Living with Mary Jane and friends school

Did you ever think?
Did you ever know?
It wasn’t all for you –
Will you take a drink
Of this fountain flow?
Don’t take it all for you!
Are you on the brink
Of a passion show?
It isn’t all about you!!

Your little siblings were the closest to you
Like you, their music is a song to speak through
So take these words of mine to hear a refrain
Of lost love, fellowship and long heart felt pain

Did you ever think?
Did you ever know?
It wasn’t all for you –
Will you take a drink
Of this fountain flow?
Don’t take it all for you!
Are you on the brink
Of a passion show?
It wasn’t all for you!!

Rock
The guitars are superb, and the vocals are great.
Perhaps more punch to the bass, and less compression if you are using compression.
Great lyrics too . . .

:: Great FEEL ::

No pun intended

I agree
The drums is to repetitive, if you have all the tracks I should try to rework it, otherwise I love the rest of it.

Song Of 11
Strong vocals & guitar! However for me, the drums and to a lesser extent the bass are getting lost in the mix. I can hear a crash every now and then, but a good hi-hit or ride part would add to it. Good song, looking forward to the remix

RE: Song of 11
Thank you Dave. The drums are indeed a wash - they will be replaced. I agree on the bass too - I may get someone to re-do that completely as well.

RE: enjoyed
Thank you Sheila. I did try to sing this, it's out of my range, and I can't hold a pitch anyway - but thanks for the support.

Love,

nice writing
Like the conception from the beginning, the guitar work is excellent. Vocals are square on. and whatever they said about the mix... but i like it because it's from the big -A- are you in that picture?

Timmy, TImmy!
I think your vocals are a bit like Deep Purple's ballad stuff a la sweet child in time meets the guess who. Sounds good. Old school rockin is always great in my book

Hey Harold this is great
no apologies needed - and I'm too much a fan of the rough stuff to give any criticism - I just think it sounds excellent with smokin' guitars and hot vocals. Well written tune.

good progrockish roller
Richard is really stepping into a new game here, did well singing this. The lyrics are important, and the guitars are killer. I probably don't want to know the backstory, sounds painful. Good to hear new posts from you, Harold!

Nice, Harold.
Good rocking song. Richard sounds great. I can't help with ideas, though. Worth re-doing, yes. Thanks.

Wow. I did these vocals a long time ago. It's great to hear this pulled up from the Deleted Archives. Sure sounds great, Harold. It's a song that is acutely aware of pain.
