Company Man

[Mike_S]

So here's another one... so that's 2 in a week. Have a feeling it will get difficult soon to get some tunes done, work might pick up soon.

Hope it sounds ok, always unsure of bass levels on my system... will listen in the car tomorrow and may tweak levels if they are a bit out.

Cheers
Mike

Company Man

Keep your hands clean, stay outta the dirt
A little white lie, who's that gonna hurt

Climbin' the ladder, that's the name of the game
Wake up tomorrow and do it over again

So come on...
You got the good life
It comes with the job
You gotta go with the flow

Cause you're a Company Man
Yeah you're a Company Man

Why think of tomorrow, when you're living today
Yeah savin' the planet, well that's a fools game

And speakin' your mind, well that's a dangerous thing
You could talk your way out of that position you're in

So come on...
You got the good life
It comes with the job
You gotta go with the flow

Cause you're a Company Man
Yeah you're a Company Man

With your suit and your tie, you toe the company line
You gotta lose that soul, or you get left behind

You know that black is white now, on that side of the fence
And knowing right from wrong now, that ain't no defence

So come on...
You got the good life
It comes with the job
So come on...
You got the good life
It comes with the job
You gotta go with the flow

Cause you're a Company Man
Cause you're a Company Man
Cause you're a Company Man
But that ain't no man at all

damn it man... this is killer...nope....NOT TOO MUCH BASS....this is so good....

wow...it's like , how do I describe this?  I dunno...it has a tad bit of ACDC vibe...but just a tad...gosh...I can't really comp this...and that tells me you got your own thing going on...and I thinks that is pretty doggon great.....

wow....this mix is great...back again...the ending is very JCM

and holy smokes that lead is so friggin brill....killer...wow....lets just say this is the kind of response that bands like the who...or the stones (sometimes) or mott the hoople, or some others bring out....just great Mike

[DarrenG / The Devil's Toupee]

This sounds great to me mike. I usually listen through headphones, it sounds great. Maybe a tad more bass, everything else sounds spot on.
Bloody hell that is some brilliant guitar playing and the vocals sound like Dire straits to me a bit, with guitars from ACDC. Really good lyrics and vocals. Nice bluesy feel to it. like that ending too.

Jeez, Mike you come up with some great tracks and this one is brill. Love that guitar riff and what a stellar bit of lead guitar solo work. Great lyrics too with a Knopfler kinda vibe in that vocal.

[SE]

Yes this is all good stuff, loving that riff driven by that bass which sounds excellent.
You,ve done a great job, love this rock stuff, an excellent listen!!

[Farrell Jackson]

This is a great rocker Mike! I dig the crunchy rhythm power chords...they have tone galore! Bass level is good to my ears. Cool lyric and vocal. Alright some smokin' lead work! Good rockin' my friend!

[Bluesberry]

so very cool....vocally,I heard Mark Knopfler immediately...and a little bit Lou Reed.....smoking guitar rock...fantastic song

[Groundy]

Top class song Mike,, fantastic playing and great vox, bass sounds fine to me... Well done... Alex

[BerryPatch]

Totally awesome. Rocks real hard, with some lovely lead thrown in there. Love the bitterness of the lyrics, a bit of Knophler I hear in the words and vocal delivery. Everything sounds good to me, the bass is sitting just right in the mix

[Ferryman_1957]

Sounds really good Mike, I think everything is fine in the mix. It's a great rocker, just love those riffs and the guitar sounds are superb. The lead work sounds great and the whole thing comes together really well, the vocals sit nicely in the mix and you sung them really well. The drums and bass really make a great groove for this and are just right for me (although you can never have too much bass.... ).

I ended up as a company man for 40 years due to the failure of my music career. Although most of the IT companies I worked for were full of failed musos like me!
