Brilliant song all around, Marty. Definitely a get up and dance to song!
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.

""It's like I said I want to," but I wouldn't want to with you." ---that's a good one! I like the light fun in the music and lyrics. The guys in the band deserve a raise.

I absolutely love the line "But I wouldn't want to with you!"
As an older single guy I totally identify with these lyrics! And I love the blues, sooo... good job! It was a fun listen!
I also like seeing video used with audio to get more of the senses involved. What you've done here is very engaging

As always you and Dave are at the top of your game.
We laughed when first reading the lyric.
Made us think of times of what that the little bubble above our head is saying ...
Like the exact opposite of what we are saying. 😆
You have a cool way of making your characters come to life.
Great performances by you both.
Ya’ll packed a lot of goodness in those three minutes.
Cool supportive vid too.
A funny head scratcher that we enjoyed!

The Boys doing what they do best.
Playing.
Music! (Sleazeball Music?) Good Music.
and a fun write - sleazeball or no...
Good Mix.
fj All play and no work... Yeah! Every music store should have a Sleazeball Music section. Needs mo' fiddle. If you’re hunting for a masterclass in slick, self-serving detachment, "I Wouldn’t But I Want To" is your jam. Doesn't seem like a popular class.This track is a cheeky dive into the mind of a charmingly shady character, riding a groove so infectious you might just overlook his sketchy motives. Pretty much all shady charachters are charming.Marty’s vocals are like a smooth operator’s guide to sweet-talking out of any mess, dropping those double-edged lines with a sly grin and a delivery so smooth, you’ll find yourself vibing with the slickest player in town.😉 Ah, I like the Sade reference.  This is the anthem for the Excuse Architect—the dude who blames wavy mountain lines and a looming storm (on a day without a cloud in the sky) for his vanishing act. But while this guy’s running late and ducking out, the band’s right there, nailing the groove like pros.🎵 HAHAHA. You're the best, Izzy. Uniquely the best.Marty’s voice oozes that slick, oily charm, spinning convenient lies with a musical sincerity that’s hard to resist. And even though he’s claiming he’s skipping town, his bass work is right there, holding it down with a funky, tight shuffle that makes you forget the main character’s a total sleazeball.🤪 Oh, man, who wouldn't love a salesman/agent like you.And let’s give it up for Dave Bell (Blue Attitude) on lead guitar. His solo is so clean, soulful, and technically on point, it almost makes you believe that driving a pickup with busted wipers is a legit emergency. He takes this bluesy jam way beyond its sketchy storyline. 🎸💎 You are good at this."I Wouldn’t But I Want To" is a wild contradiction: killer music backing up some brutally honest lies. It’s the perfect soundtrack for ditching your responsibilities while your inner Seinfeld shrugs, “Not that there’s anything wrong with that.” Highly recommended—just don’t try these excuses on a date. They won’t fly. ✈👇 And now Seinfeld. Man, you're right. The one thing I hate about this song is that is seems to say gals are stupid. Man, they ain't.This track proves that bad intentions can make for some seriously good music. 🎼 👌 Well, thanks Izzy. That was my intention.  Bravo Marty & Co. 👋 👋 👋 Izzy marty Just a brilliant song, Marty, as your songs typically are!
Thanks for the invite, and thanks to those that mentioned my contribution. Thanks, Dave. You're saying I'm a smart producer, knowing who to hire to make a so-so song into a brilliant one. We make a good team: I got a lot of so-so songs and you got a lot of brilliance. Nice minor swing song Marty.
Donny Thanks, Donny. Love the song. Your voice is in excellent form, as usual. The lyrics ... ha. I know this is about a guy, but let me tell you, I've dated too many ladies like this, unfortunately, too . Dave Bell's guitar playing is superb ... again, as usual. You two make an excellent musical duo. Great job, Marty and Dave ... one of those songs which I will listen to more than just the one time, haha Well done, gentlemen! AH, James, my all-time favorite Santa. Right? That's what I was saying to Izzy. Women wouldn't fall for this; it's the guys who can't think.

Marty,
This song is a blues rock song, which is your specialty.
The vocals and guitar are driving and lively, it's really great.
The lyrics are great, too. They express the conflicting feelings of a sleezball well.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
And I also enjoyed the video.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi

Marty, again keen guitar playing and swinging suffle. Not my favourite music, but well played and produced. Thanks for listening, Arri. A beautiful blend of videos and music, with Dave Bell's lovely guitar playing prominently featured.
Laurent Yeah, like a good baseball coach, I know who bats cleanup. Thanks, Laurent. Dave makes every song better. Entertaining, Marty. It's raining here today so I laughed knowingly at the wiper line excuse. Very clever lyric with the inner thought idea. Thanks, Beth. Sometimes I'm not thrilled with where Creativity takes me, but I'm always happy to be there. This one made me smile...and think...and smile some more. Haha. Well said, Scott. Thoughts can do double-takes too.

I've been listening to your new album a lot. And this song is one of the highlights with its cool rhythm, Dave's superb solo and of course the head spinning lyrics. The story and your vocal flow naturally like that wavy mountain line. I would and I want to listen to it again. Your music speaks to my soul.

Brilliant song all around, Marty. Definitely a get up and dance to song! Thanks, Chay. Well, that guy is gonna have to dance by himself. ""It's like I said I want to," but I wouldn't want to with you." ---that's a good one! I like the light fun in the music and lyrics. The guys in the band deserve a raise. Thanks, Scott. This guy grew up to be a politician. AND I will give raises equal to a 1000%. 0X1000= I absolutely love the line "But I wouldn't want to with you!"
As an older single guy I totally identify with these lyrics! And I love the blues, sooo... good job! It was a fun listen!
I also like seeing video used with audio to get more of the senses involved. What you've done here is very engaging Thanks, Pat. After singing lala nonsense over the chords, the title came out. That line followed soon after, and the story devleoped. As always you and Dave are at the top of your game.
We laughed when first reading the lyric.

J&B Thanks, Janice & Bud. HA! Neither one of you ever had talk bubbles like this guy. Yours would be more like "I love you!" And the thought bubble would be "Man, 'love' is so over used, and what I feel is so much more than love."

Janne Thanks so much, Janne. Head-spinning lyrics. Good one. This guy is 2-faced, speaks with a forked tongue in double talk, so listening to him is like mentally watching a fast tennis match. Janne, I think you soul speaks to me.
