"Compromise" Johnbee Original

[Johnbee]

Not a ballad. Maybe some experimentation.  Hope you like it.

  John B

Sometimes we try
just to see if we can look each other in the eyes
It's become such a waste of time
for us to try and find a way that we can compromise
Compromise looking in your eyes
Is there no other way to see through all the lies?

I must decline
from ever trying to disclose what's really on my mind
You can just read between the line
and hope conclusions that you come to aren't a waste of time
Waste of time tryin' to read my mind
There is no other way but read between the lines

There's too much confusion
We got to try and find a way to reach a common ground
Give up all resistance
We have nothing to lose but our minds.

(break)

Don't hold to your delusions
You don't realize it's so depraved of you to want it all
Can't you make an effort
to work together for the good of the call?

I'm getting a Christopher cross vibe from your voice and style. I really enjoy your songs. Always great songwriting and musically always great performances and production. I like the experimentation in the latter part. Brilliant stuff.

God only knows where you get these melodies from, John. Excellent writing and masterful production. Stellar instrumentation and I am glad you have returned to using you own vocal which I think sounds great.

[Johnbee]

Rene & Ray-Thanks both so much.  You're very kind!
