Link to song on -----> SoundCloud Don't Know Where I'm Bound Words and Music by Troy Schiewe Copyright 2019 Sitting in a chair in the evening shade got a cool drink in hand man I've got it made The good Lord smiling down on me Of all the things I've every done, bought, sold or I have won All I need is the love you give to me Well I don't know where I'm going and I don't know where I'm bound But the livings kind of easy when when your love is all around Sitting on a corn flake waiting for the van I don't think I quite understand what John Lennon was trying to say to me All you really need is love I get that one buddy it fits like a glove Got a good woman who gives it to me Well I don't know where I'm going and I don't know where I'm bound But the livings kind of easy when when your love is all around Sitting in a chair in the evening shade got a cool drink in hand man I've got it made The good Lord smiling down on me All I really need is your love I tell you darling we're like two peas in a pod You're the only thing in life that matters to me Well I don't know where I'm going and I don't know where I'm bound But the livings kind of easy when when your love is all around Yes the livings kind of easy when when your love is all around

Cool tune!! Some fun lyrics, and a simple happy feel! The vocal is very good but maybe a bit too much out front (solo too)....I think the backup band could be heard a bit more (not drums but guitars). Nice job!! Take care. Greg

Well, each monthly song has been pretty high quality IMHO. I liked the humor re John Lennon and this was up to your standard. A good tune done well.

There's very loud click at 1.50 that you ought to deal with.
Pleasant patio rocker & well sung.
I don't know why, but the rhyme of me & me bothered me.
Cheers

Hi Troy,
This is excellent listening!
I found the lyrics engaging and the musical journey very entertaining. Your vocals are terrific and the mix is sitting really comfortably in my headphones right now. The sound is great.
All the best,
Noel

Yeah! This is the sort of song that sort of announces "Sit back and relax, we're just having fun."Toe tapping easy rocker.
