Hi All, I thought it would be fun from time to time to post some “lost tracks & outtakes”. These are projects that just never made it to a complete song, became something else, or were abandoned - most are 1 take and roughly mixed. I think it also demonstrates the power of BIAB as a songwriting, demo & idea tool. Like many of you - I have a large musical scrap heap… LOL! This is an unreleased piece from 2018 and is called Like A Girl. I’m running away from this lonely day You have the strength to paint the gray I’m hiding on the flat side of the world But you rise up and fight like a girl I’m flying far from the sun today You have my word that I will stay I was telling my best friend Earl She can punch hard and fight like a girl I’m choosing my words as they say You have the means to blow them away I’m a paper tiger caught in a whirl But you can stand and fight like a girl BIAB Tracks: 2474: Bass, Acoustic, Held Ev 085 2914: Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking Folky16thsBrent Ev16 085 Thanks and would love to hear your “lost tracks”.  Bob

Bob, there is very little wrong with this one. It is a little redundant at the ending but other then that all is good IMHO.
Sometimes all you need is a guitar and a good vocal to make a great song and this song has both.
You know you're getting old when a recliner and a heating pad is your idea of a hot date!

I remember a song you did with the same theme...maybe even the same tagline. Maybe this little sketch donated its organs for that more fleshed out one. Great sentiment, and a really fine stripped down and intimate song. Love song? Yeah, I think so.

Tangmo, Thanks. Yes - this song eventually became a song called "Fight Like A Girl". This sketch provided some initial ideas. https://soundcloud.com/user-157357144/fight-like-a-girlBob

Hi Bob,
I agree with Mario - this works very well just as it is.
Good to hear a simple acoustic performance for a change on this forum.
Thanks for sharing.
Best Regards

Hello Bob,
It is nice to post 'half songs' on the forum. When I read it, I thought it is a good idea to do this.
Maybe some other BiaB musicians can finish the job or help bringing a song (back) to life.
And then I mused about all those songs and 'half songs'or ideas in my digital bookcase...
But lets keep it to your trial, because I have a question: Why did you choose this particular song to bring to our attention here? do you want to finish it or is it now also in on of your excisting songs? I don't remember hearing this piece in any of your other songs. only that 'girl'part ;-)
I liked the guitarplay in it, although a bit too much bass. But very nice playing! and I was expecting a chorus, but that didn't happen.
Make a chorus, tame the bassy sound and there you go, a new song! It is good enough for that with those nice lyrics!
Hans

Hi Bob,
This song kind of caught me off guard. I was expecting a rowdy honky-tonk sounding tune. But the way you've sung it and played it gave me a totally different impression of what the song was about. Very good vocal and musical arrangement. I enjoyed the listen!

Bob,
I really like this "demo." Do whatever you think you need to do to polish it to your standards. Excellent lyrics and I very much like the melody.

Hey Bob, I like this! But I have heard this before. I definitely remember the lines "fight like a girl." Like 4 years ago maybe? Are you SURE you didn't release this song already? Or another version??
