Everybody's writing love songs. So I figured I'd write one too. Then the cops showed up after I tried it out...
All one take except for a solo overlay into the MBR hole. I have more time tweaking mastering than the important part :D.
Mark
Luv Ya
Some people want to know you
Wanna put their arms around you
Buy you a drink
And pass the time
Other people cross the street
To get out of your way
Turn their heads
And walk on by
But I want to know you
Put my arms around you
Tell you I love you
I want to give my heart away
If only for a day
And tell you I love you
And I want to know you
Put my arms around you
Tell you I love you
I want to give my heart away
If only for a day
And tell you I love you
I got a pickup truck
And a couple of bucks
That's as country
As I'll ever be
When we sit on the tailgate
And the stars are shining bright
The country
Is right in front of me
And I want to know you
Put my arms around you
Tell you I love you
I want to give my heart away
If only for a day
And tell you I love you
love the line "that's as country as i'll ever be"
then followed with sitting on the tailgate, hey country boy love, you.
love that voice mark. it's sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet
great song man.
This is a great song, it had my feet tapping and my face smiling the whole way through. Lo-Fi beauty. The lyrics are simple enough, but like anything you write Mark, there is a edge underneath that pulls the listener in deeper. I really like your solo, thats the way to pick put a groove.
Very pleasant. I can hear a whole band arrangement for this.

Your songwriting is unique and this is yet another very special song that will have some spins on the geirPod !!

ditto that !!
Mark Dude!
This tune is more than stellar...It blows me away..i`ve listened 4 times now and hearing different things every time. I just love that opening and strumming rhythm. Your lyrics and songs are always keepers to me.
Fuckin A Bro!!
P.s I need a bit more time on the you know what.
It's the naked truth to your songs that draw me in. You have a way of being an open book in a song, and I love that.
It's a bitter sweet song bro. I dig it.
Nice! flows very well, feels very natural-- great little 'slice of life' observatons in there,and it goes down easy...
well done!
love the stuttering rhythm guitar, great vocals and lyrics and great lead guitar.... as BB said, a lo-fi classic.... One Foot In The Grave? ;)

Great songwriting Mark!!!
I like it!!!
Nice job!!!

Always love your style Mark, this is up to your usual standard, one guitar and vox and a little lead that,s all you need here, loved it.
It's got kind of unique strum pattern which is cool. the lead is a nice addition, very well done. And I like the lyric/vox quite a bit, but I wanna hear em better... put that voice up a bit higher would ya?
Nice song Mark. That solo was sick but too short... more...more.
Hey if they cross the street to get away from you...you didn't need to be around them anyway.
love the lyrics and your vocals were peeeerfect.
Well Done ...You nailed it.

I haven't heard new songs from you for a while!! I downloaded this yesterday onto my mp3-player and I really love this!! I love that simple production, it sounds very good! Stellar song, Mark!!
Kari
Killer song Mark! Vox could stand to up higher just a bit, but wow man... Great Job!
Thanks for the comments, guys.
I'm still recording the acoustic songs on my MBR's internal mic, so it's tough to get the vocals right sometimes. I usually prop it up on a table and put it in front of the 12th fret so I can sing and play at the same time, which is good practice for me.
I'm getting the itch to start multitracking again. I'm just so addicted to raw recordings. Can't get enough of it. Hopefully I'll have a Jeklin disk made soon, which will solve a lot of problems with levels as I'll be able to mix the guitar and vox separately.
Peace,
Mark
Great song Mark, luv the guitar tone & vocals !! I also dig that staggered strummin rhythm and the cool acoustic solo!
simple and to the point...loved the lead, loved your vocal, good stuff.
I like it. A love song with just a touch of edge. Well played my friend.
Great song Mark,
I like the percussive guitar strumming and the acoustic lead sounds cool.
I like the vocals how they fit into the strumming and I just love the lines
"I got a pickup truck
And a couple of bucks
That's as country
As I'll ever be"
That's classic.
Nice work bro.
Purity, clarity and all-round quality. The acoustic soloing is out of this world. Another great listen.
Mark, this is great, your fantastic vocal really does suit this lo-fi type of song. The stuttering rythym gives this song a real edge, and that solo, as others have said, was fantastic.
Another launched winner!
Dunno why I havent commented on this... ???
Been listening to it a lot...
Superb Bro!
This is Freaking great!
Great example of an accomplished Raw recording!
Yep - it's Launched. A guitar and some cool vox. Good as it gets man.
You've got such a distinct style.
This is wicked stuff bro!
BUMP , A song with absolutely
no weak links , ha ha
Total excellence
Rob

Great one Mark... Yes... love the lyrics also. Love the spin you put on your songs. Great stuff fo sho.

Missed this first time round, loved it this time round! Great acoustic playing (love that solo), great song.
Cheers,
Nigel
Nice one Mark, great song. Really really good for one take + a very tasty break..........Willie
If I'm gonna cover it the least I can do is bump it ;D
I really enjoyed this track - it has a great rhythm.
B.
