The Matador

(punk song in the works..rough draft acoustic..too late to fix the singing errors, my neighbor already banged on the wall a couple of times. I dont think he likes this song too much)

i walk into the room and, I see theres something on your mind
i crack a smile and you just stare  must be serious this time
I start to circle you cause, i know exactly how you fight
will I stand my ground, or will i kindly step aside


i wish that you and I could go back to the good old days of dancing and late romancing
I wonder if we'll ever have we had when we fist fell in love at 17

was my favorite year, i discovered beer, how we were both so worry free


you make a sigh noise thorugh your nose, while you lock your eyes to mine
i see the anger building up, i know that you will charge in time
I watch you unfold your arms, and let them fall down to your sides
I start to brace my self, preparing for the bumpy ride


round two has just begun now, as we are holding back our tears
question my parent skills, I tell you "look into a mirror"
you say "thats it we're done" and I watch you throw away your rings
and now im wondering why do we say such hurtful things

Wow, what a great song!

You have some real energy there, Johnny. I really dug the Eastern-European feel to the guitar rhythm on the verses, and you punked it up great for the chorus.

Personally, I wouldn't change a thing - this sounds about perfect to these ears.

I really like this. I'd love to collaborate with you on this--bass and drum arrangement.  (Warning: I'm the forum's--possibly the world's--slowest collaborator.)  If this was done with a metronome, I could get working on the drums first. Let me know.

what cuthbert said. braw. looking forward to hearing where this goes.

I need a few days to make some time for it, but sure I'd love to make this sound better

Oh, man! This is a great song! You take such a serious encounter, and inject humor without even trying. The tempo changes just accentuate the emotional tension. There are so many ways you could go with this, musically. Nice work, indeed.
