Lost in the Process

[Mike_S]

A new one. This one started off when I was out for a walk one morning. The title and opening melody came to me and I sang it on the iphone while nobody was watching then strummed a few chords when I got home and wrote a few more lines. When I had more time I fleshed it out a bit and here it is.

1 vocal
1 bass Harley Benton cheapy
2 guitar tracks Mex Strat
2 keyboard tracks Garageband
Drums Garageband

You tried to run, before you could walk
Communicate before you could talk

You denied it

Surround yourself with people like you
You doubled down now you look like a fool

No surprises

Let emotion get the better of you
You know there's more than just one world view
 
You got it lined up just how you like
You want it all but you don't want fight

You can't hide it

You've been taken by a trick of the mind
Where you been looking well you're not gonna find

 Any Answers

Let emotion get the better of you
You know there's more than just one world view

Because people like you won't ask you questions
And people like me just walk on by

You got lost in the process
You got lost in the process

———————

They went to Davos, that's where they meet
They were deciding if you get to eat

Gotta fight it

That 1%, you think that they're too strong
Try singing them a different song

They're inside you

Let emotion get the better of you
You know there's more than just one world view

Because people like you won't ask you questions
And people like me just walk on by

You got lost in the process
You got lost in the process
You got lost in the process
You got lost in the process

It's a big day in the Berry household when a new Mike_S song drops.....and damn man, this does not disappoint....I love everything about this.......I can't get over how your vocal sounds like Greg Keelor....Founding member of Blue Rodeo.....I am sure I have mentioned this before....but it is strong on this one......that's a big compliment in my books..........I think this is fantastic ...your songs always sound so professional to my ears, excellent recording, songwriting and delivery...the only thing I missed was a wee guitar solo to round it out...lol...

Toe tapper for sure.  Couldn't keep it still.  Love your vocal work too.

It's a brilliantly constructed song Mike.  That guitar melody is catchy from the off and love the sound of your vocals.  Very reminiscent of mark Knofler. Great lyrics and those synths in the background in the chorus really flesh it out. Also love the drums from GarageBand.

[Farrell Jackson]

This is top notch songwriting Mike and your vocals are stealing the spotlight!

[Ray Brookes]

Cool song, Mike and very nicely arranged/produced. Those strumming guitars drive the song along just right and the synths add another dimension. Nice clear vocal track and incisive lyrics too. Great job; well done.

This is a big soundscape, production
Great stuff Mike right up my street,  loving the listen, great work!!

[BerryPatch]

MAN...I love your voice Mike. It's got such a bite with melody backed up to it. I love the words here especially but the backing is great too! Those synth strings are heavenly, and the guitar tones are excellent as well. You've done it again, another awesome song!

[Jean Pierre]

as I said in a previous message (to berryP), I don't go to the original song very often because I don't understand the lyrics and I need the scroll lyrics, so thanks Mike for having it here

a great song and so well recorded/mixed

I am blown away by the overall quality of the orinal song

BRAVO TO ALL

[Bluesberry]

Back for more.........so very good......got the good headphones out today.......that bass is so in the pocket.....I couldn't hear it too well previously........if it were me, I'd be tempted to put the bass up a tiny bit more........I am always telling Keith to put his bass up more...lol....I love bass that punches through ...when you can play bass good it needs to be heard and felt......great song
