General Store

[low_light]

"Theres a place on the corner
Near a general store

Here we don’t have to act
Or be anything more

I know this isn’t the place
You wanna be

But for now we got a place
Safe from hipocracy

But I know you
And I know me

Gotta run far away
Or we’ll go craazzyy
-
we get outta there
we’ll leave our past and let it go far away
-
I think I know a special place
Where we can hide

A special place that can take
Away our pride

A special place that will steal
The hurt inside

But it's so clear now
Music somehow

It’s the best part of me
Its in the best part of you.
-
we get outta there
let the music lead us far from home
we can stay up all night
we can keep moving till something seems right
-
found ourselves
on a corner at a general store

here we feel like
we felt when we were here before

I know you don’t
Wanna be here

But I think we’ll be okay
When the sun disappears

But I know you
Now you know me

I think things after this
Will go positively"

Ummm...


YEAH DOOD! this song is really good. I can see that you wrote the lyrics after/or changed them after recording. I really dig the words man, really damn good.

The music sounds somewhat of "I get high" from Hootie, which to me is damn cool. Cuz I will admit that I like most of their stuff.

Your voice needs to come out a bit, which only comes with more playing of the song. Sounded like an amazing improv is that was what it was.

Thanks for sharing, and get to recording a sound version of it so I can here it some more, and really get that amazing voice out./images/smile.gif

...It's very good. For me, the litmus test is whether I would buy the song and in this case, I would certainly do so.

Couple of points:

1. I don't know about you, but to me, the lead into the chorus and the chorus itself was just screaming out of a violin part to be inserted above the main guitar section...I dunno....some sort of melody as a counterpoint.

2. The verses might be good with someone brushing a snare drum or maybe keeping time with one of those egg shaped shaker things...

3. There needs to be a bit of a refrain about 3/4 of the way through. The song is nice and easy to listen to, but you need to resolve the song in some way. Your voice sort of threatens to let loose in the verses and you alow it to in the chorus, but a powerful section near the end would really bring it home.

My suggestions are probably just reflective of what I like to listen to rather than what you are trying to sing, but that's just what I was thinking when I heard it.

You have an great voice.

thank you all seriously. it was a song that wrote itself. i was sitting on my chair watching TV and i started picking the riff and i was singing about wanting to be far away where soemthing made a damn bit of sense and for everyone around me, friends that were depressed.. and how music was a savior of sorts... and it all fell together...

this was a first take, highway yes. i hadnt gotten all my melodies and harmonies down but i will soon im sure.. its a fresh song to me ive been growing with music...

rogue, yeah i have it all in my head it will all sound like... again my sound card distorts when i get loud so i tend to back off..

anyway itll be comoplete soon... if i only had any musicians around to play with me this would be a fun song..

thanks for listening.

i like the lyrics...i will have to listen at home later though...

cool-i might be flying down on the wings of a friend-speaking of learning the production end of music-he is gonna see if i can meet some people and get some time with him in the studio -
