Title: Feels Like Rain
Post by: The Gobi Desert Canoe Club on February 05, 2022, 09:46:27 AM
Hi all, rushed this one a bit so I could play with my new toys. Hope you enjoy. 
The Gobi Desert Canoe Club

Watching shooting stars again
Holding hands like lovers do
Standing here again
Standing here and it feels like rain

Hurry home it's getting late
And I kissed her by the garden gate
Standing here again
Standing here and it feels like rain

Should I stay should I go
She squeezes my arm to let me know

Instrumental

Standing here again
Standing here and it feels like rain

Lose all track of time
And I know she's going to be mine
Lying here again
And I guess we missed the rain

Outro

Man!! Being new here, I see why it's called "Songcrafters"....You really have a nice sound. Loved your guitar tones and playing. Great vocals and lyrics. Great chord changes.

Damn, Willie, if anything, you just seem to keep on better as a songwriter. That vocal hits you right in the heart. The 2 rhythm guitar parts are perfect, they combine to create something really spectacular. It actually sounds a little like a banjo is playing, but I don't think there is. Fab.

WOAH!!! This is fab Willie!

I've missed something while I've been lurking... I knew The Gobi Desert Canoe Club was you, but what are these "new toys"????

This does sound like you've changed your set-up.

And what a sound!

And the song and vocals are perfect.
And that lead guitar.

And like Mike_S says, loving those rhythm guitars.

Nice one, massive thumbs up from me :)

What a fab song. I think these are some of your best vocals yet and soaring lead is wonderful, reminds me of Wilco a bit. Perfect melody and a lovely jangle rock backing.
