Hello Dear Brother (Acoustic country song)

[Zoltan]

Another sunday salvage job. This time i tried to remaster an old demo. I don't have the separate tracks anymore. Just the mp3. Shame about the vocals as i think i could have done them better now. There was an another electric version of this song with different lyrics (they were about the Neighbour ), but these are the original "inspired" lyrics.

The song was recorded with USB microphone into Reaper. Jamstix 1 (or 2?) drums. Ibanez cheapo acoustic. The acoustic was in drop-D. Yamaha bass DI to soundcard.

Hello Dear Brother

Hello dear brother
I've done and wrote you a song
Been trying to tell you of the ways life
But so far it's left you cold
But i'll keep on trying

Explaining things to you and yours

You lived your life like a young boy should
But you should have seen it coming
The years passed by and you got the pay
But the paychecks not overcoming the truths of life
There are no lies

CH:
There's bound to come a day
When you need to stop
Crying all your shame

Hello dear brother
I'm trying to call you again
The last time we spoke we had a fall
And i did see it coming
Because of the way of life
Is not a lie

CH:
There's bound to come a day
When you need to stop
Crying all your shame

(That's a shame)

[hardlock]

Nice one! I especially dig the chorus. However, being a drummer, I'm tweaked by that missing beat between the verses and chorus but I'll get over it.... Good song!

Nice country song the only thing missing is my truck broke down and the dog ran away lol

Sorry for bumping my own! I had to comment... Hardlock the SAME thing pains me greatly! And this isn't the only song / occasion with stuff like this. Unfortunately this is a done deal, but i might revisit it at somepoint, or not. Depends on how deep i get into a writers block. Considering that i've been suffering from a huge writer's block for a while, and been still cranking out tunes i'm starting to think that WB is just a matter of opinion

This sounds really good, a great country-ish feel and a superb vocal. It all sounds pretty darned good as well, given the limitations you faced.
