"Deej56"...
The way you released the lyrics for "Show Me" from your wounded heart certainly delivered on the deadly serious romantic agony that was barely contained in them. And those lyrics! There's so many of them that they become almost a near-relentless stream-of-consciousness, which complemented the driving music and implacable rhythm. The person who would be the subject of your passionate plea would surely find it difficult, if not impossible, not to yield to your need. Shucks, it was easy for me to imagine you on your bended knees as you crooned this one out :-)
Strong, focused, urgent and dramatic songwriting and performance was demo'd here, "Deej56" and Mr. Vaughn. Don't let each other go, too soon, at least!
Sincerely,
LOREN (a.k.a. "bluage")

Hi Deej,
Cool song! It was a great listen. I wish I could song this type of song well (or any other type, actually), but it just doesn't work for my voice. But you carried it very nicely. Thanks for a good listen!

LOREN (a.k.a. bulage), Thanks for the listen and your feedback—I’m happy this song works for you. Your comments are so beautifully written that I’m thinking of putting them to music—it will be my next big hit (and, in truth, my only big hit)!  Truly, I appreciate the thoughtful and supportive responsive. Thanks much! My best to you, Deej

Al-David,
Thanks for stopping in—appreciate the comments. Faster paced songs for me are a bit of a challenge—glad I could make this one work to some degree, and that you enjoyed the tune.
Best regards,
Deej

Deej,
Great to see you back in the forum.
What a terrific listen! I love the writing, the arranging and the presentation. To me, everything about this shouts out 'professional'. What appealed to me most was the inventiveness of (a) the backing and (b) the flow of the lyrics. The lyric pace is excellent and amplifies feelings of 'angst', 'agitation' and 'unfinished business'; excellent prosody!
Really cleverly created and put together!
All the best,
Noel

Deej56, nice work on this one! Your chorus is one that stays with you and conveys the emotion I believe you were aiming for in this! Nice melody throughout! Thanks, Torrey

Really well done!! Vocal is so passionate. Really good writing too. I read Floyd's comment and your response. I think you're right that it sort of rests on the singer's frame of mind.....get lost or come back? Having had an old girlfriend who drove me crazy with her flakiness, I relate to the What is wrong with you on a certain level. On the other hand, I see Floyd's point. Generally, where Floyd's input is involved, I have a 2 step thought process: 1) Floyd is probably right, and 2) See step 1. Very much enjoyed this...lots of great stuff here!! Take care. Greg

Noel, Scott, and Torrey,
Appreciate your giving this one a spin and taking the time to comment. There was a certain vibe I was shooting for musically, and it seems to have come through based on your comments. Angst, agitation, and unfinished business are a prefect way to describe it.
Noel, thanks for the welcome back. Hope to find the time to be here a bit more often than I have.
Thanks again to you each.
All the best,
Deej

Greg,
Thanks much for the listen. Glad you enjoyed it for the most part. Not sure what we'll do with the lyric as of yet, if anything at all. If I had more commercial aims, it might be an easier call. But regardless the feedback is certainly giving us a lot to think about.
Really appreciate that you took the time to comment.
Hope all is well in your world,
Deej

Deej,
Strong vocal!
It is full of emotion and energy.
I feel British pop songs in the late 60's in this tune.
It is maybe the influence of Cliff Richard's songs.
But your singing style is similar to Liverpool groups.
Very nice melody and chord progression!
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi

Shigeki,
Thanks so much for the listen and taking the time to comment. I'm not sure I'm familiar with Cliff Richard's, so I'll have to check that out. Glad you enjoyed the tune!
All the best to you,
Deej
