"My Opinion" an original by Rata-Tat-Tat & Hook

[Hook]

I caught the end of a radio interview (Fresh Air) with Niel Young yesterday, I guess he has a new cd out, the tune I heard sounded pretty good. Anyhow I was inspired so I came home and started messing around on my guitar in drop D tuning. I got a little thing going and I then remembered I had a few new drum tracks from RTT I hadn't used yet. Woke up this morning and started putting it down. It came together over 3 different sessions today. This is RTT's 8/8 time, drum track, thanks brother, these are some awesome drums!!
1 -rhythm guitar
1- lead guitar
1- bass
1- vocal
2- tin flute tracks
1- stereo drum track

"My Opinion"
written & performed by Rata-tat-tat & Hook

When I speak it's kinda like the words
 Just tumble right out of my mouth
& what I mean & what I've said
 Often aren't the same thing

              I can tell what is real
              I can convey exactly how I feel
              But feelings are fickle
              & hardly ever worth a nickel
              Can I distance myth from fact
              Correctly choose how I should react

When I try, I tend to find
I'm on a different page
I'm falling behind, kinda like a kid
Who doesn't get along with kids his own age

                 Chorus

I'm surprised my opinion means that much to you
My opinion seems a worthless point of view

Geez man Hook, i probably keep repeating myself but damn you sure know how to get the music out fast!
I envy you man! You are a mean one man show. But in this case you used Tod`s mean drums again.
Just amazing from both of you! Great song!!!

Oh by the way..the flute too you play and f`n good!!!? I`m not worthy!

[Rata-tat-tat]

Hook yer an Effin Rock animal...I agree with Eric.... I dont know how you crank these tunes out so quickly and maintain such a high standard. Amazing!!!! I will have to listen a few more times to soak in all of the awesomeness of this tune. There is sooo much going on here....and i cannot imagine getting this done in a few hours. Remarkable stuff buddy!!!

[Geir]

You're a songmaking machine Hook !!! And you constantly keep a very high quality. This is no exception.

Great work !!!

Really great songwriting a top listen, think your on a roll these days

You ARE the "Hook-meister" bro.   

How do you churn out the lyrics so fast - I don't write lyrics very often, but if I do, they are alway awkward and crass - yours simply flow beautifully and always sound fresh and amazing. I can't even think of a subject for a song in the same timescale - let alone write the music and lyrics and play and sing and produce and ... Keep em coming - another excellent track!
