Just an Ordinary Man

[The Gobi Desert Canoe Club]

Hi all, stepped a little way out of the comfort zone for this. Not sure what the genre is but who cares, here it comes anyway. Hope you like.................Willie

Scared of flying
Like my feet on the ground
Scared of dying
If i'm on the ground
Scared of pain
I don't want it again

Scared of love
I don't want to be hurt
Lord above
You know I can't trust those girls
Scared od pain
I don't want it again
Chorus
You know I do what I can
I'm  just an ordinary man
You know I do what I can
I'm just an ordinary man

Scared of laughing
It might give you away
Scared of smiling
I don't do much anyway
Scared of pain
I don't want it again

I really like this. Love the "funky" guitar in my right ear at the verses.
It doesn't sound like you are out of your comfort zone at all.
This is great.

Hi and thank you all, my confidence needed a little boost and you've provided it. Once more SC comes to the rescue. THank you Willie

This sounds like you are real comfortable to me Willie.
I like the groove you have going on here.
I know what you mean I hate genre labels,
Most songs don't fit into a neat category at least the songs I write don't,
I let the song take me where it wants to go and it is usually a combination of genres.

Nice work, great rhythm guitar and I like the distorted guitar that comes in on the chorus.

This is that genre from 1979 that never got a name, when great rock bands (and even some punk bands) tried to be just a little bit dance-oriented to ride the disco wave, but not so much that their fans would hate them for it. You know what I mean. Some pulled it off well, others not so much: "I Was Made for Lovin' You," "Another Brick in the Wall," "Train in Vain," "Heart of Glass," "Dance the Night Away."

(I research my comments a little too much. No spreadsheet this time, though.)

I'm a fan, and I don't hate you for this. So you pulled it off. Love the menacing guitar.
