Rock In My Shoe

Just a little more funky horns. Needs another mix to calm the drums down a bit, but here's the first shot.

Rock in My Shoe

Stayed up too late, too deep in the bottle
Now my head's too big for the door
Car won't start, it's beginning to rain
Late for work, but that job's such a bore

All out of coffee, and the milk's gone sour
Feel like I'm getting' the flu
Walk to the bus stop, soaked to the bone
Here I stand, with a rock in my shoe.

Rock in my shoe, feelin' so blue
Rock in my shoe, don't know what to do
Rock in my shoe, feelin' so blue
Rock in my shoe, reminds me of you

You walked out, I never knew why
You never took the time to explain
With each new day, I have to admit
It feels better out here in the rain.

In my pocket. just lint and a hole
As empty as my heart is for you
Head off to work, gettin' on with my life.
Just me and this rock in my shoe

Rock in my shoe, feelin' so blue
Rock in my shoe, don't know what to do
Rock in my shoe, feelin' so blue
Rock in my shoe, reminds me of you

Hi Frank, cool funky track and love those funky chords (diminished? flattened 10th's ?) Nice fluid guitar solo too. Love to hear this with real horns. Great work; well done.

Wow, Ray. You've got a good ear. Not everyone would pick up a diminished and a dominant 7#9. Do you have perfect pitch, like Dylan Beato?

I really like this one - sense some Frank Zappa influence maybe?

Very cool indeed. The drums sound fine to me, btw. Some great retro funk. Love those horn stabs and the high/low vocal combination works great. Fine work!
