Lyrics

DON’T HAVE TO WAKE UP.

Don’t have to wake up, don’t have to getup
There’s not a thing I have to do.
Don’t have to be anywhere, don’t have to really care
There ain’t a thing I gotta do.

I wouldn’t know, how to get up and go
Or anything that’s happening today.
I’m a driftin’ swamp mist, a permanent frost
Don’t melt with the sun or the day….

I’m the dark of the night, dissolved by the light
There ain’t a thing I’m meant to see.
I see no love in sight that don’t mean a fight
Don’t know where I’m supposed to be….

	Don't Have To Wake Up. The first thing that struck me is the guitar tone with that tremolo ... and that cool retro sounding melody and vocals. Like that biting guitar solo ... is that a tele? Nice chord progression and a fine tune. Well done. SG Check out my latest song called Song of Life

	Good one! I like this, Dennis. The guitar tones are great (the part I like best is the solo at 2:05 - it's sort of loose-tight). Vocal style suits the lyrics - sort of sad-angry. Thanks for the download! Check out my latest song called Close to Midnight w/ alackbass, rok41, paul f. page, & KyasheMusic

	Don't Have To Wake Up This is a cool tune, remimiscent of early 70 popo rock bands like Badfinger, but when you broke out in the solo, I almost felt like I was listening to Jimmy Page. Thanks for posting - I enjoyed listening! Sig Check out my latest song called Under Your Bed - feat. strangedream, rok41 & Steve Ritter

Great track!
Man... from that opening riff straight through to the end. This is great. A couple of production notes:
-Kill all of the vocal fx. Too much! Your voice is strong enough without all of the stuff on it. It sounds too buried in the mix.
-There's some line buzz coming from one of your guitar tracks. Isolate it and add some Gate to it. This will clean up the track a bit.
-The drums have a lot of mid-to-high eq on them. Can you isolate the kick and snare to separate tracks, re-EQ and lower the kit track?

I really loved this song. You're a hell of a musician.

Check out my latest song called Love Theme From Cannibal Massacre
