Somewhere South Of Savannah


Isn’t it ironic saw it on the late night news

They said the world’s on fire

They’d put it out but there ain’t no use



Nights I don’t remember. Friends I won’t forget

all that seems so long ago

Now we’re the only one’s here that’s left


Somewhere south of Savannah I heard the same old song

she’s overlooked and misunderstood

I’m gonna miss her when she’s gone



Gotta make it north of Atlanta

Find a new place to start

Wipe off the dirt wipe off the hurt

From her handprint on my heart



If that’s the way she feels I don’t know if I can make it right

I’ve tried before I know what’s in store

and I don’t think it’s worth the fight


Isn’t it ironic saw it on the late night news

she’s overlooked and misunderstood

I’m gonna miss her when she’s gone



Gotta make it north of Atlanta

Find a new place to start

Wipe off the dirt wipe off the hurt

From her handprint on my heart

Big, in your face sound. Cool guitar licks. Catchy chorus. Great vocals.

The ending caught my by surprise!

I love everything about this. smile

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Really excellent. The hook is so catchy, the lyrics are brilliant, the singing is top notch, with great harmonies. Should be on the radio. Well done.

Just perfect. Really enjoyed everything you've done here. Great song, killer vocals, tasteful production. Superb! Oh, and I met and married Mrs DC Ron "somewhere south of Savannah", so there's that. Ha!

Tom,

This is excellent - love the feel of this. I hear a hint of Levon Helm in your voice and performance. Very cool.

Loved it!

Tom,

WOW. Killer tracks and an AMAZING Mix.
Your mixes come through the speakers like NOBODY else (here). Truly a Pro sound.
I want to look over your shoulder and see how you manage that.
It is Something Special.

A very good write.
Nice vocals and harmonies.
Good musical lead.

"Somewhere south of Savannah I heard the same old song"
LOVE the hook/title AND the alliteration...

A great listen.

I love everything about this song, the guitar lick at the beginning captivates me and your vocals never let me go.
Pretty good mix, although I personally think the drums in the choruses are a bit too bright.
But overall the production is really good.
Well done!

COOK'N!
An amped up J.J.Cale or something like that.
LOUD but nothing's too loud or out of place.
From your list I assume you played bass on this as well.
Ace Bass...great tone for the song - stands up and holds its own.
Cool on all sorts of levels - the vocals - POIFEK t.


Cheers

Such a good mix. Tom. Man, I love the melody and the harmony. This sweet song from south of Savanna sounds super sensation. Dang, what a good hook you got there, sir. Pro sound start to finish.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Tommy, love the dynamics on this one.
Great vocal and guitar licks.
Mixed like it is from a pro studio.
Outstanding groove with a surprise ending.

Why does toilet paper need a commercial? Who's not buying it?

Love that lick that opens the song. Awesome sound. The song was enjoyable to just sit back and absorb the experience. Darn good.
