I thought I had commented before. This is another proof of your great skills in songwriting, Nelson. Don't make yourself small, you REALLY have a LOT of talent!

Hey guys thanks so much for your time and your encouragement.

The only Fx I used on my vocals is reverb and at the end panned far left and right.
As for my guitar work, ::) lets just call it a work in progress.  :D

Greeny
The first album I heard of Lenny's was Circus and I was hooked. I forgive him his latest transgressions because he's just a rock star doing what rock stars do, giving the people what they want, to keep the money rollin in.
Glad you liked this one.

Yeah, I like this.

Like Greeny, I can hear a Stones vibe. I can hear something else too... what is it? Oh yes, on second listen, I think it's a Dire Straits vibe, song-wise.

And I love those drum and vocal sections too.

Nice one :)

Is just a piece of paper
To say a few lines
Make up my mind
So she can read it later

Thanks for stopping by.
Stones and Dire Straits, I'll take that any day.

The original version of this is slower, more jazzy and had no bridge but I didn't feel that would work here.
So, after a heated conversation about songwriting rules, structure and dos and don'ts, the drum and vocal sections were born. In the bridge the word "LIFE" represents my "SONGS" and "ROLLING THE DICE" means taking chances, writing and structuring my songs by feel not always by established rules.

Again Thx

This is stellar song, Mr. Nelson!! You're real songwriter/musician/singer! Nice job all around! Drums and vocals (without guitar) after two minutes gives a nice taste on this! Well done - as always.

Hey thanks man.
I'm getting closer to capturing what's in this whacked out head of mine.

Really glad you like it.
I'm slowly trying to expand my vocal chops, thus the higher vocals in the chorus.

Musician?  :)
Well coming from such an awesome musician as yourself, I'll take it.
I was trying to write a proper bridge but nothing felt right so I started experimenting with just drum and vocals.
Glad you liked it.
