Title: I Don't Need
Post by: Ron D Bowes on July 01, 2023, 07:11:07 AM
I have been postponing my new album, because I was waiting on magazine interview for my last album to be published. It would have been daft to put out a new album while still promoting the last album. Because of that I keep writing new stuff and thinking "This should go on the new album" lol. So, "This is going on the new album" which has grown from a 12 track album to a 15 track album!


I Don't Need

I don't need permission
To do the things I do
I don't need a document
To prove that I am true
I don't need your kisses
I don't need your smile
I really think that we should split
And cool it for a while

You say you are a lover
And that you understand
But I don't want your empathy
I am a self made Man

I don't need your water
I don't need your food
I just want some damn respect
Within this neighbourhood

I don't need....you
I don't need....you
I don't need....you
I don't need

I don't need a harbour
'cause I ain't got no ship
I don't think that we can mend this broke relationship

You say you are a lover
And that you understand
But I don't want your empathy
I am a self made Man

I don't need....you
I don't need....you
I don't need....you
I don't need

You say you are a lover
And that you understand
But I don't want your empathy
I am a self made Man

I don't need....you
I don't need....you
I don't need....you
I don't need

I don't need your sermons
To teach me how to live
I don't need no humble pie
There's nothing to forgive
I don't need your virtue
I don't have regrets
I don't need your opium to learn how to forget

Awesome rocking track Ron. I'm glad this is going on the new album, like Stephen said..just add more what the hell lol.
The beat and the guitars have a 70's rock vibe which is great. Love the lyrics and the chorus is damn catchy. Great music all round mate

You do these rock tracks so well, Ron. Great arranging/playing and vocal work - love that cymbal crash at the end! Cool lyrics too.

Ooh, loved the entire chucka-chucka "I don't need" parts. Great lead break and tone as well.

A meaty offering. Nice.

Excellent lead vocal and cool backing vocals. I like the strumming and muting style of the rhythm guitar. The lead solo was right on the money. I'm rockin' to it!

This is great, Feels like prime 70's early eighties rock, when they made good music. I detect a wee bit of the late Bon Scott in those vocals. A wee bit of playfulness with in that cool but ballsy delivery. Great raw tones on those guitars. This one would go down well live.

This is pure rock and it goes forward like a train!

Well written and performed. The "chugging" guitars sound fab at the chorus. Brilliant song!
