A song about the despair of being unemployed...

I Try to See

Words and Music Andy Casson
16th June 2013

Pull the curtain meet the day
Nothing to do, nothing to say
Same old feelings holding sway
What can I do to make my way

I kill the lights so there's nothing to see
Can't find a reason or hold a dream
Sights and sounds aren't what they seem
Left alone like a dying breed

Stand in line with a smiley face
I disappear without a trace
Another number without a name
Can't you see I'm dying of shame

I look for reasons, look for blame
Look for leaders but they're all the same
One more season and things will change
But it's a game of numbers not of names

I try to see....but it's all gone now


Life's slipping by day by day
Try as I might can't find a way.....

Great song with a really good chorus. I love the guitar solo at the end.

I like your song
Great vocals, drum machine sounds, and superb guitar solo!!!

Sh*t, Andy, this is POWERFUL!!
From the cagey, almost whispered intro to that blistering guitar solo, and the inventive intertwining of the vocal lines - what's not to like??
A plaintive cry set inside a powerful song - a brilliant upload. Very well done. 

[T.C. Elliott]

Wow. Impressive. I was gonna mention that I liked the delay effect on the vox but that I thought it was a bit low.. then the main vocal, or prominent vocal, came in and it made perfect sense. I still think you could up the first vox just a bit so it could be heard a hair better, but honestly the effect is great. I purposefully stopped looking at the lyric and I can understand the lyric just fine here in my listening room the way it sits as is. The bridge vox/melody is good and that lead part is damn fine.

This is stellar. A keeper for sure in mix, performance and recording... and message.

Cool song. I especially liked the "Life's slipping by day by day" bit and the awesome lead guitar that follows it.

[Rata-tat-tat]

Well... you done went and did it again Andy... I won't say this is your best cause they are all top listens... but I will say this is my new fav from you!!! This is one killer production buddy... absolutely love it!!!!

[Greeny]

Awesomeness! Amazing arrangement and production. Love the moody tension of the opening and how it all expands outwards from there. That guitar solo is epic! Serious class and talent as always.

[Redler]

Genius and powerful! Loved the double layer vocals! The guitar solo is awesome!
