Need a Thicker Skin by Oldrottenhead

[Oldrottenhead]

started off as a two chorder but went looking for some contrast and added another couple of chords. first day off in ages so was nice to get the guitars out, this came quite quickly.

it is what it is.

You need a thicker skin
Than the one you're in
You take things much too seriously
You worry way too much
About the little stuff
And get yourself so worked up
It's not reality
It's just a fantasy
A dream
Make Believe
You jump at your own shadow
Your heartbeat's out of sync
You need to sit down and relax
You're racing round in circles
Trying to do too much
But never ever getting anything done
It's not reality
It's just fantasy
A dream
Make Believe
You need to take the blinkers off
To see the bigger picture
Talk to someone
Get another's opinion
You need a thicker skin
Than the one you're in
You take things much too seriously

Great song James! I like how the song opens up when you go into the chorus, gives it a nice sense of dynamics. Awesome balance between the guitars and synths, the guitar line in the bridge is especially effective.

A nice song to end this Day with.;-)

[Bluesberry]

Yea, I love the movement into the chorus, that works super nicely...I'm getting a bit of a Wilco/Jeff Tweedy vibe from this ....nice bit of country tinged pop ...very sweet

[StephenM]

sweet... really nice song.
callouses... yes... thicker skin...

think too much... yes...

the music is super... I really love the toms in the drums or so they seem like toms... I really love floor toms.
bass works solid... guitar is real nice...perfect
vocals of course are king

[SE]

Wow your on the money.
Loving the rhythm and jangly guitar.
As always it's the lyrics and vocal!

[thetworegs]

Smooth as butter

[Mike_S]

Beautiful James.

I bet you never had this comparison before, but I am hearing some Marillion vibes in those jingly guitar melodies. But anyway up this is a corker. Love the message.
