Things I Should've Said A blues rock song (with apologies to EC). Lyrics & Vocals Leon I sang and played all the guitars. The rest of the Band: RealTracks in style: ~1546:Bass, Electric, CountrySwing Sw 085 RealTracks in style: ~673:Organ, B3, Background Blues BB Ev 085 RealDrums in style: BluesRockShuffle^1-a:Snare, HiHat , b:Snare, Open HiHat Things I Should’ve SaidI’m a hundred clicks from anywhere And the needle’s in the red All the things I should’ve said Are running through my head All the broken promises All the stupid lies I told The good will that I squandered And the precious things I sold I find it liberating To have nothing to lose The things that I’ve been chasing Only led me to the blues Told myself I didn’t care When you said we were diverging The feelings that I didn’t share Are only now emerging The way you made me feel as though My soul had found a twin The crazy rush of pleasure When your hair brushed on my skin I find it liberating To have nothing to lose This mess that I’ve created That’s not the future that I choose There’s a storm on the horizon Lighting up the clouds How could you know the way I felt Never spoke the words aloud Some fools never realise The treasures that they’ve lost Some fools just keep rolling on And never count the cost I find it liberating To have so much to lose This mess that I’ve created Is not the future that I choose Yes, I find it liberating To have so much to lose This mess that I’ve created Only led me to the blues

Very nice, Peter!
Love that lick you came up with, very cool. Good vocals and write from Leon.
Great job on the leads as always, and fun hearing that little EC quote in there too!
Good way to start off my day while drinking my first cup of coffee, enjoyed the listen.

Peter/Leon,
A good Blues write - a solid lyric. Well sung.
Excellent guitar work! (all the parts!). The organ works well, too. Nice mix.
The little "guitar flurry" at 2:17 is exquisite!
Y'all keep getting better and better - super music.
Enjoyed

Great work on this one, Peter! I love how much charisma and attitude there is to this tune. That groove is infectious, and your vocal delivery is spot on. Some very cool lyrics here too, which I found really helped keep my attention throughout. Very well done - thanks for sharing
Cheers, Deryk

Good guitar lick to base the song around. The lyrics are especially good. It is quite challenge to write a modern blues song with interesting lyrics. Well sung ,played and arranged, Tom

Hi Peter,
A great rolling blues with an inspired title - how many times have we all thought that?
Super backing track - loved the B3 and some excellent guitar work in there. Spotted the EC phrase - neat!
Great blues vocal from Leon.
Cheers, ROG.

I love the blues and you did an outstanding job on this. Super vocals, great backing tracks, strong lyrics and some outstanding guitar chops all in one perfect mix.
This is a keeper.
My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

No need to apologize to EC - he’d likely smile.
This is definitely many cuts above the typical blues write. More literate but not too much so - just enough to keep the listener engaged with the cool lyric while your guitar certainly doesn’t let anybody wander when it takes over.
Fine vocal and guitar performances you two.
And kudos to Blues Man Leon!

Cool song, great backing. The vocal stands a little apart from it though. Are they the same reverb? I like how the organ sounds really solid and live. How did you treat it? Cool stuff gents.
