Hey, sorry for the late post.
Today's song was constructed from fragments of a country song that I had kicking around in my head for a few years. I guess I just wasn't feeling very country today, for better or worse. I would love to re-record the vocals but I have neighbors, and to keep them happy sadly it is you who will suffer. They aren't that bad, just lacking the necessary oomph. Also had to mix on headphones.
Enough excuses, I know. This site is about the songs, not the production....I know........I know....but I want it to sound as good as possible in the given time.....I Ramble
A true story.
Enjoy
Goodbye Kate
You know I probably should just go
I’m sure I really shouldn't stay
‘cause there’s too many “It’s not you’s”
And too many “it’s just me’s “
For me to take
And though I really didn’t mean
To leave you standing in the wake
I’ve done enough but not much more
So I’m heading for the door
Good-bye Kate
You went and jumped another gun
You must’ve thought I was “the One”
We only dated for a week
When you gave me your key
I should have told you this out loud
I hate to say it, I’m not proud
But I can’t take another day
Because I’m really not that brave
Goodbye Kate
You never really saw the signs
For you the road was always paved
With gold and glittered centre lines
And the sun would always shine
Upon your way
I guess I should have been more clear
And not have been so cavalier
But ports can be worse than the storms
A lesson learnt and so much more
So Goodbye Kate
You went and jumped another gun
You must’ve thought I was “the One”
We only dated for a week
When you gave me your key
I should have told you this out loud
I hate to say it, I’m not proud
But I can’t take another day
Because I’m really not that brave
Goodbye Kate
I’d say you’re better off this way
But you wont listen anyways
So goodbye Kate

I remember it well, and always did like. I even remember the girl........but was it Kate?
The chomp chomp is Ryan Adams, great, but the harmonies make the song. I think that this is your first true pop entry. You have so many great songs, but perhaps this could be your great single. I do think so. And I think that the poppiness may come from you not letting go on the lyrics and keeping it less poinant (sp?) and more about the melody then the lyrics.

Hey J
Thanks a lot.
I was actually feeling pretty bad about this one. Not the song so much but how it turned out. Not like I heard in my little head.
I must listen to it with fresh ears
Never even considered the ryan similarities.....but it is indeed isn't it?
cheers

I was also thinking on a verse before you should echo the lyric melody on the guitar and run that lead into your solo. Just a thought
