Lots of great stuff on here lately. Here's one I can't find the memo on, but it's just a rocker.

I Know Why
©2014 Robert Randall Burke/BMI

I know why you don't have much to say
I know why you always walk away

You think that love is gone
And I know that you're wrong
What can I do to make you stay?

Tell me that you'll give it one more chance
Don't let foolish pride kill our romance

Love conquers all, they say
Just give it one more day
Before you throw it all away.

I know why you don't have much to say
I know why you always walk away

You think that love is gone
And I know that you're wrong
What can I do to make you stay?

Love conquers all, they say
Just give it one more day
Before you throw it all away.



Regards,

Bob

It certainly is a rocknroller! Love the harmony vocal.

Very upbeat tune for such a sad tale. Nice irony there. (I think I've used "irony" correctly. I'm never sure, lol)

much enjoyed!

Bob....

Honestly, I'm not much of a love song kinda guy.
But....I know what you are capable of from previous listens so I just gave a listen.

This is a good song.
I like the mix, your vocal is up front, smoothly sung and well performed.
In fact, there's a melodic vocal smoothness that reminds me of the song "How Long" by Ace back in '74. (that's a compliment :))

The only aspect that does not appeal to me is the vocalizing 'la la's' at the end.
I think it would sound much better if you just repeated:
"Love conquers all, they say
Just give it one more day
Before you throw it all away"....then end on that or as you see fit.
Or, the same melodic line but by an axe or other lead instrument.

I hope you receive my comments as intended.....respectfully.,
This is just my take on a good tune.

Well done Bobeth......I like it.

Bob,

A very enjoyable song - the feeling of the melody is so "up" I hardly noticed that the lyrics have a sad side.Your voice (especially in the upper register) sounds great.

Bob,

That "took me back" to my earliest memories of music listening - AM radio hits that we listened to all day over and over like they were the most important thing in life... simpler times...

Brought back "Freddie and The Dreamers", "The Dave Clark Five", "Gary Lewis and the Playboys"... and like those AM hits, this sticks in my head well after listening... (2:31 - the right length, too). Where is Dick Clark when you need him?

Nice acoustic guitar work in this.

HI Bob,

Couldn't agree more with what's already been said. Just about everyone beat me to the Everly Brothers analogy. Also, I agree with Floyd's suggestion of Garey Lewis and the Playboys.

Great vocal harmony and hillert guitar! Everything about this is a joy!

Best to you,

Alan

I agree with Scott, it does have a very strong Everly Brothers feel to it.
Nice melody, good harmonies and just an all round good song

Very nice.... it took me back, as Floyd said, to the AM radio hit days. Gary Puckett, 1910 FGC, Tommy James, and the other teen pop music makers of the day. And the time length was a perfect fit also at 2:31 running time.

Hi Bob.

Yeah, I'm with Scott on this one and all the others who spotted the Everly Bros influence in there - not hard to miss. Very tight sync between the vocal and harmony.

Great track and a very authentic 60s radio sound, right down to the La La ending.

Lots of fun!

Cheers, ROG.

Bob,

This is great! I've quoted Kenny because he said exactly what I was thinking as I listened. You took me back to the sound of some my earliest musical memories. I really enjoyed the song.

All the best,
Noel
