Description
This was a quick song to write and record, done in an afternoon ..... then I spent a week mixing the bloody thing. A bit of an experiment genre-wise (I figure it's almost Alt Pop), it's also experimental in that it's the first vocals I've done using the band's Presonus FireStudio. To me the vocals are much less harsh than usual, and with far more detail and depth - once my fees come in for recording a CD for a young local guy, I'll be buying the Presonus FireBox I think - thanks for the tip Lisa!
This track is all me - a couple of Seagull tracks, at least 3 Tele tracks, B3, Bass and midi drums. Lyrics are simple (mainly so I can remember them when doing it live) and melody is designed to be able to sing while playing bass. I'm pretty happy with it really - hope you like it.

Don’t Want to Talk About It
©2009 Neil Porter
Why can’t you say what you mean?
Why don’t you mean what you say?
Can’t you just say how things seem?
Such stupid games that you play
I don’t want to talk about it
I don’t want to say goodbye
I don’t want to talk about it
It’s just gonna make me cry
Don’t know where I stand anymore
Couldn’t you say from the start?
Couldn’t believe what I saw
You put this pain in my heart
I don’t want to talk about it
I don’t want to say goodbye
I don’t want to talk about it
It’s just gonna make me cry
You say you’ve got no regrets
I say I’ve got quite a few
This is as good as it gets
I’ve learnt too much about you
I don’t want to talk about it
I don’t want to say goodbye
I don’t want to talk about it
It’s just gonna make me cry

Strong easily relatable hook. Love that bass line - holds down that bottom like an anchor on a battleship, and the guitars are a nice flavor up top. Your vocals are sounding great.
The time spent mixing shows, all the instruments are sitting nicely in the mix. Nice job!
