Description
it's feb 29 last day for rpm and fawm challenges -- I did not make it. got about 3 or 4 songs done this month -- done being a very relative term.

this one since I had one last day I just wrote in a burst of inspiration in 5 minutes and recorded in an hour. no tuning guitars, no finding right sounds (ok I lied I did try and tune the 12 string a little bit. broke a string now it's an 11 string) -- very rough mix just thrown together no effects except the hardware reverb

so! time marches on. what the heck. I do rock and roll ditties. so what. lol ;)

Lyrics
theres something in my life and I can't shake it
I can't help if you can't take it
Its mine and its gotta move me
gotta let it shake up and groove me

you say that its fine but you fake it
I await for you to wake it
its sleeping there underneath the surface
the best of it is better than worse is

its mine its mine and I can't shake it
its mine and you can't break it
its mine its mine and I cant fake it
I cant help if you cant take it

been waiting a long time for something to happen
waiting for the strength to sappen
in time I thought you might understand
reach out and give a hand

its mine its mine and I cant shake it
its mine -- and you cant break it
its mine its mine its all I can see
what in the world has happened to me

almost has a Dylan quality. never heard you "sing like mean it" before, adds strength to the song and a nice surprise!
cool backing vocs--another plus.

3 or 4 is better than none
at least you tried, you "sing like you mean it", as Sammy says, and there's always next year.
But I thought you had that 11 string before; musta been a different 11 string ;-)

I can't believe I have to buy a set of 12 strings. maybe I'll see if I can improvise. busted strings make me mad

oh
you are the best ;) oh you

recorded the default gb piano and live mic'd everything else but the micron. but had voc potted up so there are 4 voc tracks 1 solo 2 w/guitars and the micron track. the old radio sound is maybe all the noise coming over. plus this is mono which is how radio was

Gritty goodness
I really like music that comes straight at you. The man in black was like that. This song is really direct and hits me about the same as Cash's stuff. Not that it sounds like Johnny, just the delivery is similar. You've got your own style and it is good.

Good stuff man.

Lou Reed
is on MacJams!! Nice song - only criticism would be that it needs a bit more at the low end, feels a bit trebbley which weakens it a bit. Love the lyrics!

One hour wonder
Hey Eddie, you need to do some more of these one hour wonders. Shows a different side of you. The raw, honest vocals work really well. Liked it. Thanks, Peter.

good idea
I always used to work quickly bangin ideas out -- for decades. started taking hours 10 years ago -- got up to 6 hours per song with logic express. the initial energy often evaporates. what it was that made the song like a piece of gum got the flavor chewed out. and jump the shark comes to mind ;) lol thanks I will

I like the "ake" rhymes and the vocs have a rock attitude, kind of reminds me of the Kinks. Nice job.

I agree with the Dylan comment ... it's great hearing your vocals ... catchy hook and lyrics. Lots of feel and I like the 12 string and keys. Excellent raw trueness to it ... pretty folked up!
Cheers

rough vocals ....in a really proper sense
of the word hit the spot...this is nearly punk folk rock....see what I mean? I like this ,it is honest and does as it says on the tin ....and damn those pesky strings......more Cash than Dylan ...I think Dylan always sounded whiney but Cash sounded angry and assertive....I'd go with Cash for this one....
