My Country Too original needs a left-leaning country voice.

[hardlock]

This is just the backing track without added leads or fills.  The bridge should be obvious but is the 2 chord section and is repeated again after the 2nd verse.

WARNING - this is a politically incorrect, left leaning rant against the far right.

I can't sing but with the right southern drawl and attitude, this could be a fun satirical tune.  Fitting for the current health-care reform debate going on here in the USA.

Here's the instrumental version with leads for melody ideas:

MY COUNTRY TOO    (c) 2009 Ken Hill
----------------------------------------------------------------
I don't much care for country music
but I've got something y'all need to hear

Those on the right seem out to conquer
but we're all Americans and will not fear
----------------------------------------------------------------
You preach the right to life so loud
but if found guilty then hang em please

Those mounted heads hanging on your wall
really tell me your pri-or-ities
----------------------------------------------------------------

   Preaching family values, need to save my soul today
   
   Better stop and ask your God to see what he will have to say

   It's just the e-pit-o-me of hy-poc-ri-sy you see
   
   For you to think your ways are also my des-tin-y

----------------------------------------------------------------
I don't have to wear the American flag
to prove I love my country too

In-tim-i-dation, man-ip-u-lation
ain't gonna make me follow you
----------------------------------------------------------------   
You're all for spreading freedom wide
as long as you can set the rules

It ain't gonna happen this time my friend
won't pay your price, we're not your fools

i like it-i cant sing for shit-but i like the message

[Greeny]

I'm on the wrong side of the pond to do an authentic job on this. Also, it's not right for me to sing a political song about someone else's country (it's fair game for me to go to town on Britain though...!). I think these are brilliant lyrics though - and I agree with them wholeheartedly. As for the music, it's a tight, tidy and really nice track. It deserves a great vocal!

[hardlock]

Thanks Tim, that means a lot coming from you!  Your voice would be perfect for it too.  Oh well.... 

[hardlock]

bump?

[Oldrottenhead]

ditto everything tim said. nice bump ken, but i think you should give it a try and sing it yourself.  i heard you sing recently and you have a great voice.

[hardlock]

Hi James, Oh I've tried to sing it and a couple others I have with no luck.  Reason is I have a very limited range (non-existent?) so unless I wrote the song for me to sing it, I'm out of luck......

Also I've updated the dead link in the 1st post to the instrumental version.
