Is It Getting Any Clearer?

A little blues rock number about being further on down the road (sounds like a good song title!)

Leon Vocal & Lyrics
I played rhythm & lead guitar & sang a little.

The Band:

RealTracks in song: ~686:Organ, B3, Background Pop Ev 120
RealTracks in style: 1718:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm TexasBluesRockStraightBrent Ev 120

RealDrums in style: RockSyncKick^01-a:ClHtSn, b:OpHtSn

Is it getting any clearer?

Remember when we hit the road
With a mattress and a flagon
Early morning, windows down
In my Daddy’s station wagon
Future coming up behind
In the rear view mirror
Tell me brother what you see
Is it getting any clearer?

Is it getting any clearer?
So much further down the road
Are the answers any nearer?
Now we’re further down the road

Monday morning, call the boss
Tell him I can’t make it
All that wine I drank last night
Didn’t have to fake it
I could hardly raise myself
To get a glass of water
Some days weren’t no danger to
Anybody’s daughter

Is it getting any clearer?
Now we’ve daughters of our own
Are the answers any nearer?
Now we’re further down the road

Thought my dreams were up in smoke
When she said goodbye love
But happiness was up ahead
When I gave you my love
The future changes every time
That we choose a turning
I take the corners slow these days
There’s some things that I’m learning

Is it getting any clearer?
So much further down the road
Are the answers any nearer?
Now we’re further down the road

Crank the music, hit the road
With a mattress and a flagon
Toss the surfboards in the back
Of that old station wagon
Future coming up behind
In the rear view mirror
Tell me brother what you see
Is it getting any clearer?

Is it getting any clearer?
So much further down the road
Are the answers any nearer?
Now we’re further down the road

Peter/Leon,

This is super!

An EXCELLENT write. Solid start to finish. Terrific lines all over the place.

"Monday morning, call the boss
Tell him I can’t make it
All that wine I drank last night
Didn’t have to fake it
I could hardly raise myself
To get a glass of water
Some days weren’t no danger to
Anybody’s daughter"

...for example.


Nice blues/rock production. The guitars are stellar. The lead at the end is exceptional - the "little bit of shred" is the best ever displayed here... (It needed to be louder, for sure!)

Super.

What a tune! I love the attitude this tune has, and the groove is infectious. The harmonica was implemented perfectly here as well. The bluesy approach to this was perfect. And to boot, really nice lyrics too.

A very well rounded song - you should be proud of this one! Thanks for sharing smile

Cheers,
Deryk

I am really digging the harmonica and guitars used in this particular song! I think you utilized the RealTracks really well in this song! Awesome job. grin

That "little blues rock number" could have gone on...and on...could've heard that outro for several minutes smile

Great playing and, man, what an all around cool song. Leon has carved out a niche as a most literate blues writer...and does it ever work.

We like the Biab band, the write, the vocals, and that guitar!

And you topped it off with a "everything's in the pocket" mix.

Nice!

Peter & Leon,
A road trip with humour and wisdom in the lyrics ( which Leon does so well) and a nice touch of raunch in the backing... yeah, that ending guitar could have gone on and on!
Very good.

This is an excellent song Peter. The backtrack had such a cool feel to it. Your guitar was excellent Tone and phrasing was very cool. Leon’s’s vocal and your harmonies were perfect

Rock blues at its best. Great vocal and outstanding lead guitar. I am very impressed with this one.

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.

Thanks I very much appreciate all those comments. Thought I'd leave the other 2 licks I know for another song!

Great groove, very infectious! Leon always writes a good lyric and vocals sound good too.

Love the smoking guitar on the outro! My only complaint is it could have been longer.

Good one Peter and Leon!
