It's The Same For Me

[The Gobi Desert Canoe Club]

Hi all, hope you're all good and not snowed under or freezing. Here's this weeks offering, hope you enjoy.

Fender Telecaster, Rickenbacker 12 String, Fender Precision, Drums BR-900cd, Pads from GarageBand.

I hear your voice on the radio
And I see your face on the cable TV
Doesn't seem so long ago
We were making plans
But you wanted to be free

And can't you see
That it doesn't have to be
You say it breaks your heart
But it's the same for me

You think you saw it in your dreams
But I'm telling you now
It ain't what it seems
And there's a price to pay
They love you now
But they'll soon fade away

And can't you see
That it doesn't have to be
You say it breaks your heart
Well it's the same for me

Looks fade and voices go
There's a new star on the radio
Announcers soon forget your name
And you're looking round for someone to blame

Instrumental

And can't you see
That it doesn't have to be
You say it breaks your heart
Well it's the same for me

Chorus line just breaks your heart
You'd sell your soul for a walk on part
Phone never rings you check the line
But the engineer says it's working fine

And can't you see
That it doesn't have to be
You say it breaks your heart
Well it's the same for me
Oh it's the same for me

You guys come up with great songs with a unique sound underlined by that jingling 12 string. Nice laid back vocal and no-nonsense lyrics.

Loved it, Willie - no mistaking that Ricky 12, right from the beginning. Tons of jangle and a dose of melancholy.

[Zoltan]

I've heard this several times already and i thought i had commented... Well in anycase this is such a good song that it sounds already slightly familiar and something that i'd heard on radio while growing up. Meaning that you've struck that special chord that makes a song truly great.

Wonderful song, great playing and vocals, the production is also really good , ready for radio/streaming play.
Great work

[BerryPatch]

Great track! The 12 string solos are wonderful throughout and I love the songwriting here. The vocal has a real clarity and is nice and upfront in the mix, great mixing on this one in particular. As GodinQC said, it's radio-ready!

This hits the spot. Such a great melody, it's true it instantly sounds like an old long lost classic. Beautiful warm vibe, love it.

Lord, I love the sound of that 12 string. Fantastic lyric with, "You say it breaks your heart. Well, it's the same for me."

Another very fine tune.
