I Don't Want To Talk About It


You left me. Without any kind of warning

It killed me to wake up without you in the morning

I won't run this race again we can't get back together

I don't want to talk about it I almost want for you to stay

I don't want to talk about it. Girl I've got to get away


You headed south chasing all your dreams

You told me that everything is not what it seems

I don' t think that I've got it in me to get back together

I don't want to talk about it I almost want for you to stay

I don't want to talk about it. Girl I've got to get away



Late last night I hear you knocking at my door

Talking and crying and saying things like just once more

If we tried it again you know that we won't stay together

I don't want to talk about it I almost want for you to stay

I don't want to talk about it.Girl I've got to get away

Nice rocker...

Who among us hasn't lived that one? Been there, done that, got the scars to prove it.


I enjoyed the song.

Tom...

Man! The first thing that hit me was WHAT A GREAT MIX this is! Everything right were it needs to be. GREAT sound on the drums.
Guitars at just the right level and pan. The sound of the lead
is nothing short of amazing - stereo? how'd you do that?!?!

And the vocal is crisp and clear, and yet, nestled in with the instrumentation perfectly. Not buried and not out front - what a rock vocal should be. Nice, TIGHT harmonies, again!

Oh..and.. a good write. Simple, but still saying something.

I like everything about this.

floyd

Tom, that is a fine rocker and your lead just works so well with the RT's. It sounds like pickers who've been together on the road and developed that tight sound that comes only from that. Otherwise, I can't add much to what floyd has already well stated -- it's one of those rare birds that works on levels.


BTW, thank you very much for the info re the "Sacred Steel" tradition. Since you aren't set up for PM's I made some comments in the thread responding to you and also modified my original post.

Hi, Tommy ! :))

I got a new favourite Tommy tune !:)
Love everything about it and you
did surprise me too with certain
unexpected chord progressions !
I enjoyed this one really very much !:))
Have played it already many times !!:))


Cheers
Dani

Hi Tom...

What's to say that's not already been said? great in every possible way! loved the vocal harmonies and the lead riff was awesome! Everything Floyd said, again!

Al & Di

great groove, I hear a Tom Petty meets Lou Reed thing here.

Very good tune you have here.

Herb, Thanks for checking in on this one.

floyd, Thanks for your kind words. That lead is tweaked in logic in the stereo spread. Ozone does the same thing if you put it on just that one channel and play with the stereo imaging. I panned it way to the back about 1 or 2 o'clock. Thanks again.

Bud, Thanks for the listen and comments. Those BIAB guys are a tight bunch.

Dani, Glad you picked up on the unusual progression. Thanks

Al, Thanks for listening and commenting.

Gruverider, Thanks for your nice comments.

Hey Tommy,

This time I concentrated on your guitar playing and you're laying down some hurtin' licks, telling the story with another voice. That's wicked guitar, man.

To tell the truth - and this is strictly my personal preference, which I admit to have carried to the ultimate extreme - is that people not use BIAB exclusively but play an instrument too, if possible. It makes the tune more personal and when you play well, as you do, more powerful. You're among the best story tellers on this Forum.

Dean

This is a GREAT sounding track. Outstanding mix - one of the best I've ever heard on here. (If it weren't for that partially cut off g on the beginning of "girl" in one spot it would be perfect. LOL - couldn't resist that one Tommy.)

Great arrangement, loved the vocal treatment, cool guitar and again great mix.

Well done.

Josie

Dean, Thanks for the nice words. I always look forward to what you have to say.

Josie! I never even heard that! You got me. Now because of my comments on other peoples songs I have to go back and fix that. LOL. Thanks for your extremely generous comments. I really do appreciate it.
