-------------------------------------------

Traveling on my personal journey in NLP and Meditation over two years now, I have found the door - door leading to the room of serenity and clarity in my head.
When grasping the fact of me being able to just boldly be me, this song - Get A Life - came out and literally used me as a device to make itself heard.
Let your own voice out - You are Special, You are Enough, You are allowed to be You.
Listen to your inner self as it speaks to you and deal with it properly.

Get A Life - lyrics

Video Intro:

Hello!
It's your Mind here.
Realize, you are important.
You shall not be undermined by anyone.
GRASP the following.
...Injustice...Inequity...NOT present in your dice.
Release and let go. It's your birthgiven right to
GET A LIFE

Actual song:

A1:
Here again behind this wall of pain
My thoughts been thrown down to the drain
There you stand blaming me, the things I’ve not done
This is the moment showing me what’s wrong

B1:
What in hell should I supposed to do
Listening to a jerk who don’t have a clue
I gotta get out, I gotta get a life -

You just don’t have any grip on me
I can’t say I’m sad now when I leave
Starting now, I rule my life
My own life -

A2:
This world ain’t made to serve just only you
I’m not one of those you treat as slave
The bad spotlight, it shines now straight on you
Be my guest, clean your own mess

B2:
Beware the fury of a patient man (Quote from John Dryden)
That should be clear to understand
I’m out, I own my life -

Chain, torture, destroy, but you just can’t
imprison my mind – Yeah, Gandhi was right
I released it all, I gotta get a life
Get my own life -

During Solo:
... Oh Yeah... Watch it...
... Ha Ha Ha...
... Oh Yeah... Eat this...
... Ha Ha Ha Ha...

B3:
Knowing how sweet it feels to be free
How long it takes all others to see?
Just let go, release and get a life -

Never again there’ll be a strain on me
I’m ready to stand on my own two feet
Released it all, I’ve got a brand new life
Now I own my life -

I hope you like this tune! More shall follow in future ;-)

Hello Brookhill
welcome to the forum
That's what I call a successful start ;-)
This is an excellent song
Really cool powerful sound
Great singing
Strong guitar work
For me already one of the top (hard) rock songs in the forum
I liked it very much
Many greetings
Andi ;-)

Hey, this is great! Welcome to the forum.

I believe you have captured the energy that is propelling and will continue to propel a lot of the changes in the world soon, now that people have seen the insane media narrative for what it is.

Yes! Life is real. Life is what YOU say it is and life is FUN. So yes, turn off CNN and get a life!! Exactly.

Good job!

I want to believe that in some small way you were inspired by our recent song "Life is Hard" posted elsewhere on this forum.

Just kidding.

Welcome Rock!

NICE heavy rocker.

I loved it right from the start. Really good driving energy in that song. And nicely written too. I can see that being done live in a coliseum.

Couple the excellent audio with the video and ....well, it's a top quality package.

Welcome to the forums and .....what a way to introduce yourself.

Interesting intro.

Solid rocker. Sounds very professional to me.

Excellent first post.

Rob

Welcome to the forum

Very nicely done rock song, good mix and well sung and played.

A really nice first post.

Peter

Welcone to the forum. Very cool video and mix. Loved the intro. Super vocal and guitar work. Backing band was excellent. Well done

Nice rocker. Well written, produced and performed.
Enjoyed the vid also.

Welcome to the forum!

J&B

Thank you, Andi!
It is so heartwarming to hear you've find my song likable.
This gives me needed confidence to put more of my thoughts & melodies available to others to hear & see.
You'll find this song of mine also on Spotify among a few other places now:
https://open.spotify.com/track/6uUxLZiPadcxwwimGZuaJ5?si=a90101af2b044927

If you see it fit, add it to your playlist.
Also,
I really wouldn't mind, if you'd share that link to your friends... :-D

You'll be hearing more of me in the future in this Forum - A Promise! :-)

I listened your project song "Music Comes From Our Heart" on the Forum.
You guys are great!
All that done in "decentrealized studio" - tracks from around the world.
So fine!

Thanks again!
Sincerely,
RB

Howdee, David!

Thank you for your positive words.

Yes! I looked your "Life is hard" project.
Great tune! As someone commented there, A new version of Traveling Wilburies has seen the light of day! :-D

Keep having The Grin in your life and enjoy of "What will happen next?" :-D

Thanks again!
Sincerely,
RB

Hello Herb!

Thank you!!!
I am really pleased you found my tune worth listening to.
That song came out from true feeling - an outburst.

As I've never done any recordings all by myself earlier, this was a bit of a "quantumleap" to me.
Also with the video. I've never done those before.
Somekind of "flow" or "definite need" struck me and in just three days the tune was composed and arranged with lyrics and finalized in Reaper.
Making the video took approx. five days as I had to search the s/w to do it (OpenShot) and some material to show on the screen.
I added that "White Noise" intro into video a bit after the first version of the video was ready.

Probably, the next songs come out a bit easier - electronics & devices are now tested! :-D

Thanks again!
Sincerely,
RB

Hallo, Rob!

Was that above correct in Dutch?
Wonders of Google Translate ... :-D

Thank you for your kind words.

I've got more tunes "under construction", so I'll be posting more in future.
I hope I didn't set expections too high with this first one... :-D

Thanks again!
Sincerely,
RB

G'Day, Mate!

Thank you, Peter!
I am so glad you liked it.
I'll be posting more in future - hopes I'll fulfil the expectations... :-O :-D

Thanks again!
Sincerely,
RB

Hi Scott!

Thank you very much for your positive comment!
That is very nourishing "food" for my confidence to carry on "the works".

Thanks again!
Sincerely,
RB

Hello Janice & Bud!

Thank you very much for your positive comments!
Have a most Refreshing and Relaxing Weekend!!! :-D

Thanks again!
Sincerely,
RB

Very cool how you start off with the white noise. MAN, then you come out with that guitar (Flying V in video), and the track really begins to take off. It surely brought me with it. Very powerful. Such a good vocal. The solo is quite interesting. When you said this "Listen to your inner self as it speaks to you and deal with it properly," I knew you were a bass player.

RB,

Excellent Rock.

Good vocals. Good mix. Terrific use of BIAB. (and nice additions).

Well done.

Welcome to the Showcase.

Well RB, I can only underline what others wrote here about your song.
What a supernice start you have with this first song here on the forum.
A great song, cool video with strong lyrics, very good vocals and a superb band!

These are a lot of compliments in 3 sentences, so stay humble please...

But I enjoyed it very, very much. I am curious what you have next!
And a warm welcome to this forum by the way!. you will notice, all friendly people here.

Nice day,
Hans

Brookhill,

Great use of the realtracks here! It's a well mixed track that allows the vocals to shine! Clever intro leading into an upbeat sound! Enjoyed it!

Thanks, T

RB,
Excellent driving rock with- surprise!!- a cool, positive and personal lyric.
Sung and played like you mean it. Good production and interesting video.
Welcome here- a great first song post.

Robert
