some days you just want to cry.

[Glenn Mitchell]

Pardon for posting before final tweaking but I am just so stoked about my new Roland GR20 guitar synthesizer that I got on Craig's list. GAS inspired after hearing Bluesberry doing such a great job with his!.
I started simple with a harmonica and tried hard not to make it sound like a guitar playing a harp. Not as easy as I thought.
Hopefully I'll eventually move up to piano, organ and one day to horns.

(E)Who would understand
you may (B)look like a man
but (A)even that's a (B)disguise
No one seems to see
your uncertainty
how can they not realize

(chorus)
Guess it's a (A)good thing,
(C)no one looks in your(E)eyes
maybe it's a (A)good thing,
(C)no one looks in your(E)eyes
cuz(A)Some days, (C)you just want to (E)cry

You'll never get to sleep
with all those promises to keep
it comes as no surprise
cuz everyone you know
has it all under control
and here you are just getting by

(chorus)
solo 1
(chorus)
solo 2
You wonder if compassion
goes in and out of fashion
seemingly no reason or rhyme
Is it really up to you
and the little things you do
with your one small step at a time

(chorus)

Really great tune...the lyrics are very true - it's good to know we're not alone in feeling alone.

Yes - I love it. A fantastic production - Sounds done to me! As usual, pro songwriting skills and playing!

Great song, Glenn!

Hey I think that toy is awesome.  I bet it is challenging to not play like a guitar. Great job on a great song.!!

[Bluesberry]

Great stuff Glen.  I am so glad you went for it, very addictive hu, just wait till you get the Hammond Patches figured out.  I find the pianos the hardest of all to make sound good, but those organs are great, just play with double-stops and full barre chords and don't strum but fingerpick 2 or 3 or 4 strings at the same time, and it sounds like you are playing a real organ.  Very cool sounding harp here.  Have fun with it, sounds like you are.

[Glenn Mitchell]

Thanks guys, and thanks for the tips BB. It does have amazingly realistic samples for an "older" synth. (I think they came out about 2004?) Roland is so great.
My wife is pouting because I've been obsessed with it since I got it last weekend. Lol. I'll have to write her another love song I guess.

[Groundy]

Just brilliant Glen, great sound.

[Oldrottenhead]

this is great glen, your in fine voice , vocal reminds me of randy newman

[Geir]

WOW

Your voice is better than ever!!! And the guitar synth is cool, works best in the lower keys for the harmonica imho, but adds a nice touch to the song !

Did I say great song? GREAT SONG !
