The Way it Goes

[ODH]

This song, Way it Goes, forms the second part of a diptych with my other recent song, Storming Woman.  They were both written around the same time, and both under the influence of early ZZ Top (and other things).  They book-end a relationship, with this one about the demise, Storming Woman about the lusty startup.

I don't know what it says about me, but this demise part is happier and more upbeat than the startup one.

You don't have to be a genius to spot the influence of La Grange in this track, but stay with it.

I put new strings on the guitar for this one...

I came home late last night
My baby just came through the door
I had to ask her why
She don't love me anymore

I guess that's the way it goes

We talked it through the night
We laid our hearts out on the floor
And it was plain to see
There's no love here anymore

And that's just the way it goes

A real toe tapper. Great job.

Infectious song, and yeah can hear the influence but there is also a shed load of your own style in this to distant it sufficiently from this.

Very nice change in intensity at 0.50 when it all gets a little grubbier, and loving that distorted vocal....is that a guitar effect on that?

Excellent riffage, blinding inavative solo work and some very nice subtle additions with the keys at the end.

The mildly chaotic ending with the song unravelling seemed to round it all off perfectly

Cor blimey! Love it when you cut loose on the solo - really explosive and a real treat. It's not a style that I would automatically associate you with, but you do it so well. The guitar tones and playing are just so good. Killer track!

[Hook]

Rock On!
