You have masked the inspiration, and came up with a really cool song, Janne. I hear Beatles, but I usually do.  You had me right from the title. The you start with these excellent lyrics: "First there was the blues then came the blue suede shoes then there was the Stones but now is time to shake those old bones." Yeah! "...tear up the rulebook, re-invent the wheel." I hope you tell us the song you were working on, and I totally understand your desire to put it aside and create your own. And you created a wonderful piece just Mixing Concrete. Thanks Marty, mentioning Beatles is always flattering Not The Beatles, but an English rock band too. Glad you liked the title and the lyrics. Janne

That's a really well written song, Janne. It rocks. I also got a strong Who vibe from the chorus and detected some Beatles-like touches in there. From the hints you dropped in the comments I'm guessing your inspiration might be 'All right now' by Free (though I'm not actually hearing it).
Regards,
Leon

Janne,
Fun, quirky and hopeful lyrics applied to the classic rock sound.
Well sung and produced. The inspiration? I`m guessing FabFour though can`t quite place it... which means you made it your own.
Robert Thanks Robert for your kind comment I'm really glad you think I made it my own, I thought that the inspiration would be too obvious. Not FabFour though, but thanks for mentioning them  Janne

Got some "within you and without you" Harrison vibes. Cool.
GREAT clever lyric all the way through ... a mix song - who would've thought?
Along with that fine lyric are nice vocals, band choice and mix.
We enjoyed it!
J&B
Thanks Janice and Bud for your very positive comment Harrison - interesting and flattering observation. The idea behind the lyrics is that why make cover songs when you can easily make your own based on a hit song. I wish I'd gone much further, but unfortunately I'm not as creative as Mr. Snyder  Janne

Nice reflection on our way of life. The rhythm and the arrangement are very pleasant. The mix is pleasant and has been worked well. I appreciated.
Kindly regard

Like concrete this song is solid!
Excellent lyrics, vocal, backing tracks, leads and mix.
A solid R&R song.
A toe tapper from the git-go.
This is an excellent song.

Great opening—ear catching, toe tapping right from the get go. It’s got a Who vibe to me—particularly in that chorus. The mix is pretty solid to me; that organ works really well, and the BritBlues Rock solo, well, rocks. Good stuff, Janne—enjoyed my listen!
Kindest regards,
Deej Thanks Deej for your positive comment And thanks for mentioning the Who, wouldn't have thought that, heartwarming reference although my voice cannot be compared to Daltrey's Janne

Leon Bingo, Leon! You got Free from my hints, nice to hear that you are not hearing their song, so I have manage to create an original enough song that rocks. And big thanks and additional plus also for "Beatles-like" words Janne
