This song is about feeling like you've been set up to fail.

I hope you like it.  Let me know.  Thanks so much.  



"I had my fair share of fights when I was 13
Not ashamed to admit I almost always ended up face down on the concrete.
I guess it's in my nature to start fights I can't win.  
My dad was a boxer, and later a junkie,
It's in my blood I guess

I learn everything the hard way
I'm real dependable like that
I don't need anybody else around
I can be disappointed all by myself

I'm a real efficient manufacturer of failure
I'm a talented new prospect on the losing team.
I'm a cheap consumer product designed to fail.
I'm a cross Atlantic flight, and we're losing fuel.

Hey, thanks!  This is such a cool community.  I am really glad that there is a place on the internet like this where you can share really sincere songs that would otherwise go unheard. 

I hope I never make a dollar for playing music, and that people continue to form communities like this.

Very nice.  Interesting guitar rhythms and pacing of the lyrics.  I'm getting maybe an unplugged wallflowers vibe.

[Geir]

yep ... you got style ...

really love your rhythmic playing and your vocal delivery !! Like your first song this will get more listens (already on my 3rd so far ! )

This is great. Simple and clean yet so effective. I've always loved an acoustic guitar and harmonica combo. Excellent hooks and depth on the songwriting, and it left me wanting more. It has a bit of 'The Boxer' by Simon & Garfunkel in the guitar feel and lyrical concept too. Great work.

Very real.  Fresh sounding guitar and vocal.  I can relate to the story.  My dad was a golden gloves champ and I got my brains beat in all the time fighting guys that were bigger than me - until I was 13 and finally wised up.  Man, I hope you don't really feel what you say in your lyrics. No way you're a loser!  See - you totally reeled me in to your song.  Keep doing that!
