Been awhile. Up to my ears with projects. Here is a lyric I wrote over 20 years ago that I set to music two months ago. Arranged and recorded the same day, I filed it away. I came across it today and thought I would share. https://fredgrittner.bandcamp.com/track/as-if-i-really-knew-youAs If I Really Knew You As if I really knew you As if you really cared My heart has had a breakdown It can’t be repaired I came to see you Sunday By Monday you were gone As if I really knew you As if you were the one As if I saw it coming As if I turned my eyes I courted every favor I didn’t get the prize For me it all makes sense now You bounced the ball so high As if I saw it coming As if I’d broke the tie Lost all sense of direction What’s false is possibly true I’ve got another thing coming I can see that it’s coming from you As if the night becomes you As if the day betrays You mentioned once in passing Love’s an endless maze At last I solved the puzzle You ditched the doubts I’d shown As if I heard the footsteps As if I called the loan As if I really knew you As if you were the one BIAB Instruments: RealTracks in style: 386:Bass, Electric, Blues Chuck Sw 102 RealTracks in style: 2886:Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm FolkBluesSlowShuffleBrent Sw 085 RealTracks in style: 3971:Guitar, Resonator, BackgroundSoloist BluesSlowShuffleRob Sw 085 RealDrums in Style: Cajon and Shaker [Multi] I played the resonator guitar fills and solos.

Deceptively simple arrangement carried along by a strong lyric. Great voice that it well-suited to the genre. Two thumbs up!
My music may not set the world on fire but if it causes a glow in just one person's heart, it has all been worthwhile

Fred, this is really good.
I really enjoyed your vocal and guitar.
Outstanding backing band that fits the song perfectly.
This is a super song.
My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

Good vocal and harmony.
Band arrangement and mix sound good.
A bit of a haunting feel in the melody, which makes it interesting.

Hi Fred ...
This is the first I've heard from you in a very long time. I always enjoy your work. And this is no exception. I love that full, soft vocal you always have.
Nice arrangement and backing tracks. Crisp and striking. The vocal harmony was excellent. Super nice!

Sounds great in headphones, sandwiched between two guitars. Melodic and catchy. Nice.

Alan Thank you for your comments. Yes, it has been awhile. I am close to releasing a bunch of songs that might interest some of the forum members. The 2023 version has some great new features involving RealTracks--regenerating bar by bar is very cool. The demixed horn, vocal, and string quartets sound much, much better when you can mix each part. Anyway, thanks again, Alan

This has a laid back feel ala JJ Cale and yet it also has a mysterious feel. Very enjoyable!
We’re glad you rediscovered the fine lyric and the quick finish of the song and production sound great.
Your resonator playing was perfect for it.
Enjoyed it!

J&B Thanks, J&B. I have been listening to your recent songs and find them well-produced and, of course, distinguished by Janet's amazing voice!

Melancholy story with many nice lines like "love's an endless maze".
Straightforward folk shuffle rhythm drives the song. Beautiful melody and enjoyable chord progression, I really like the guitar fills.
Simple but working arrangement, reminds me bit of Mark Knopfler. Good vocals with nice nuances.

Thank you, Janne. It's interesting to read how others tag you: JJ Cale, Mark Knopler, etc. Everybody has their own point of reference. I've been said to be a bit like Clapton as well. Who knows? That is what makes music so interesting--no one measuring tape. Fred

Really like the melody and your vocal, Fred. The subtle harmony works perfectly. Cool Bridge and, man, those lyrics are terrific. Well done on the mix, too. I dig the resonator, too.
