Pieces Of Me on Soundcloud
Pieces Of Me on YouTube A song about what happens to an individual after the greedy take what they can. Style is _OOZING.STY (Oozing Vintage Funky Soul Jazz) RealTracks in style: 4710:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm SoulJazzBluesyFunk Ev 110 RealTracks in song: 4249:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm BluesFunky Ev 120 Loop in Song: Percussion Loops\Loop124bpm Conga 8ths 2 bars low.wma RealTracks in song: 2905:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm BrightBluesyPopColin Ev 100 RealDrums in style:Jazz60sFunky: a: SnareRide b: SnareRideBusy was used in the redesign in EZDDrummer. Dave Bell (Blue Attitude) played guitar. I played bass and sang. Special thanks to all the King's* men for putting us back together again. *that would be BB, Albert & Freddie. Pieces Of MeAll they see is a number in me to raise their profit line. Most of what they said goes over my head. I raise my head to find all they ever want are pieces of me. All they say in their fraudulent way is meant to take my cash. I'm just a dollar sign, and when they take all mine, they'll throw me in the trash. All they ever want are pieces of me. What do we do when we end up screwed inside their evil plan? But how would it be if we could all see it's just the devil? Man. Oh, man. All they are is a runaway car careening off the track. I'm belted in here with no way to steer. I'm sitting in the back. All they ever take are pieces of me. All that's left to save are pieces of me.

I quote myself from YT: Excelenté! Great song, production and guitar-work.
But I'll add to that re the also excellent lyrics that on social media I've occasionally referred to humans/citizens as "economic units" as that's what we've become. You're either a positive, neutral or negative economic unit. Bankers' actual jargon for persons who pay their credit bills on time is "deadbeats" as no profit is being made from them.
Some favourite Waoist Adages:
#1: Play on the Way.
#13: Ask not for whom the flower blooms, it blooms for you.
#58: Bring consciousness to it.
#63: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made.
#92: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.

Marty,
Wow! Another absolutely knock-out song. Love this vocal - one of your very best. Completely in the groove with great phrasing.
Dave's excellent guitar tone adds a heaviness to the subject. Perfect mix as well.
You are producing some killer music!

Let me be the second Bob today to say that yes, this is one of your best!! The energy crackles! LOL I heard the guitar solo and said "Holy cow, which RT is that?? That is killer!" Stupidly, I forgot Dave does all your guitar work. I'm a huge fan of the Kings - I like the influence here. Great post. With all your songs, is Soundcloud going to cut you off one day ; ) Hope not.

My fav part was the cool “inside” rhyme scheme:
….A…..A…..B
….A….A…..B
Masterful! Fun to listen to, and, as always, super production. Great work!

very good groove in the backing and catching riff. Enjoyable gary moorish or santanish solo guitar. All in all a very pro pdoduction. It could have been a hit in the 1960-80s. So it's music, that meets my taste.

I loved this song for so many reasons. The lyrics, of course. Feeling that more and more myself these days. Loved the choice of style. The guitar solo was powerful (go Dave!) and that little bit of crumbs at the end. Excellent song, Marty.

An blue anthem for the common person.
Life as a runaway car, careening...fab similes & cool, cool execution by the voice, the bassist & the guitar man not to mention the program.
FABULOUS.

Marty,
What a great blues tune that the 3 Kings would be proud of!
Love that groove you've established with that oh, so in the pocket bass playing!
Dave's guitar parts are smokin' hot all the way through!
FWIW I always pay attention when Freddie is mentioned! I used to play in a house band in the Houston, Tx area with his piano player that toured with him! Awesome stories were told!
Loved that little vocal ending part!
Thanks, TB

Your turn to crack me up. "all the King's men" HAHAHA!
I love that you write about things that actually matter. Often, easing the message with humor.
Yummy Bass.
Dave doing some of his best work. Smokin.
GOOOOOOD.

You're either a positive, neutral or negative economic unit. Bankers' actual jargon for persons who pay their credit bills on time is "deadbeats" as no profit is being made from them. Thanks, Chay. I'm often accused of being ridiculously positive, but I'm proud to be a negative when it comes to bankers. Marty,

Bob Thanks, Bob. We are definitely having fun. Let me be the second Bob today to say that yes, this is one of your best!! The energy crackles! LOL I heard the guitar solo and said "Holy cow, which RT is that?? That is killer!" Stupidly, I forgot Dave does all your guitar work. I'm a huge fan of the Kings - I like the influence here. Great post. With all your songs, is Soundcloud going to cut you off one day ; ) Hope not. Thanks, Bob The Second. It would be friendship abuse to bug Dave to do all my songs, but those he does he always makes better. He could've surely been an in-demand session player. I finally got the upgrade on SC, mostly for the unlimited uploads and the ability to replace tracks. Their other hypes are bogus. The dynamic duo strikes again!
You two are so good it scares me.
Great vocal and super lyrics that are so true
Outstanding guitar and bass lines
Loved that groove
Loved that song Thanks, Mario. Glad we were able to scare you, but we know you are a true-blue bluesman. You cats are popping a great groove here. Sorta Santana meets Zappa. Super song, super playing, super vocals. I'm out of superlatives. "Just a few crumbs left..." Indeed! Thanks, Ron. You are the superest superlativist. "Santana meets Zappa." I can visualize that. My fav part was the cool “inside” rhyme scheme:
….A…..A…..B
….A….A…..B
Masterful! Fun to listen to, and, as always, super production. Great work! Thanks, Tom. I think I was a limerick writer in a past life. When I say I write the lyrics, it's true. I write them but don't know where they come from. Great choice of style Marty and Dave: nice guitar.
Great work guys.
Laurent Thanks, Laurent. Isn't it funny we call this work when we have so much fun playing. very good groove in the backing and catching riff. Enjoyable gary moorish or santanish solo guitar. All in all a very pro pdoduction. It could have been a hit in the 1960-80s. So it's music, that meets my taste. Thanks, Arri. Gary Santana or Carlos Moore. either way Dave is unique.

Marty, great groove and production on this one. You guys can both really play! The write has a lot of truth in it. 55 years ago I wrote a song with a chorus that said “They hit me for a nickel, they hit me for a dime.” Not a lot has changed except the denomination. Blame it on inflation. I hope you can continue to stay positive. Although l’ve heard it said -A pessimist is an optimist with experience. Smiles never hurt. I enjoyed the song a lot.

Bluesy version of a protest song. Great song, great singer, great guitarist, great band. You've used a rather unusual rhyme scheme (at least for me) that works fantastically for the song. I think that's one of your best  ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif)

You two gentlemen certainly can make some fabulous music. Dave smokes the strings while you put a mean bass line perfectly in place. And your vocal ain't too shabby, either! Hard yo go wrong with a power Blues number. Nice - seriously.
I paid off all my credit cards last year. I was almost $19,000 in debt with those things. Now, I owe a grand total of $87.00 on my credit cards.
Really nice!

I knew you would because you are truly one of the givers. An blue anthem for the common person.

FABULOUS. Thanks, Ray. I gotta make this quick cuz I see a new one with you and Janice. Marty,

Thanks, TB "Wee 3 Kings with Blues and guitar." Isn't that how that Christmas song starts out? Thanks, Torrey Wow, that's a great experience you had. Were you singing in the house band too? Your turn to crack me up. "all the King's men" HAHAHA!
I love that you write about things that actually matter. Often, easing the message with humor.
Yummy Bass.
Dave doing some of his best work. Smokin.
GOOOOOOD.
fj hehehe. If you're cracked up, you may need to call them to put you back together. Thanks so much for such an encouraging comment, Floyd. Love this song, Marty, just a blast to play over! Nice that you found those old pictures of me to use during the guitar solo too "And there's just a few crumbs left", cracks me up every time Haha, thanks, Dave. Yeah, I asked Kathy for some of your old pics. Always wondered why you were playing on a dump heap, but they fit the song so well. hehehe. Seriously friend, I appreciate you immensely. Marty, great groove and production on this one. You guys can both really play! The write has a lot of truth in it. 55 years ago I wrote a song with a chorus that said “They hit me for a nickel, they hit me for a dime.” Not a lot has changed except the denomination. Blame it on inflation. I hope you can continue to stay positive. Although l’ve heard it said -A pessimist is an optimist with experience. Smiles never hurt. I enjoyed the song a lot. Thanks, Tom. Man, you knocked me out with that 55-years-ago comment. I said, Man he must be old. Then I realized 55 years ago I had also written many songs. "They hit me for a nickel, they hit me for a dime." They hit me on the upbeat and couldn't make it rhyme. hehe Had to. It was like someone going "Shave and a haircut..." and not saying "two bits."

This song is oozing all kinds of goodness- in the style, the lyric, the RT’s and yours and Dave’s performances. “All they are is a runaway car careening off the track. I'm belted in here with no way to steer.” Yeah! Dave’s solo is smoking hot. We were thinking of a Kenny Wayne vibe when listening and then saw the vid had a strat guy that kinda looked like him. And the vid images nail the narrative. Your vocals are standout and the vocal tag was cool. Nice mix and arrangement also. Simply a great package. Enjoyed it! J&B
