Good message, "Regain your grip on life's loose reigns" I like that... many times it just feels there's a high threshold for asking help. Nice blues, great guitar work. Good band, I enjoyed hearing an organ also, although it is not listed.
Janne Oh, man, you are so right, Janne. I added the BiaB info from a different song. HAHA. A "high threshold for asking for help" is a very sad situation. The whole world needs a revolution for a resolution. Key=E , Tempo 78, Length (m:s)=4:06 No intro. 76 bar chorus, from bar 1 to bar 76.

Well constructed composition. The lyrics are of a truth that many politicians should learn from. The voice and the guitar solo are very pleasant. Well done.
Kindly regard

Thanks, Derochette. Unfortunately Truth is not on any politicians priority list, and often just gets in his way. Great song with a great message. Guitar to die for. Couldn't ask for more. Thanks, Bob! Cheered me up no end, this morning, as your music and kind words invariably do. This is top notch, in my very humble opinion - and a big shout, too, to Dave Bell ... great job on that guitar, man!
He sets it up, and you score the goal. Your vocal delivery really stands out - I want to hear no more of how you're not a good singer, etc., haha ... you're brilliant and you really communicate what you have to say.
Bravo, bravo, to the both of you. Hats off. Ah, thanks, James. YOU cheer me up all the time, too, brother.

Marty If we had started the day with doldrums this certainly would have lifted them! Your warm vocal presents a great message and Dave’s guitar truly soars on this one. All is so good - the lyric, melody, band, your bass track, the mix and the vid -- meaning the whole package.  Although the last two years have definitely shown us all how much we value friendships, thanks for this excellent reminder! J&B

Leon Thanks, Leon. Glad to hear you were lifted. Marty If we had started the day with doldrums this certainly would have lifted them! Your warm vocal presents a great message and Dave’s guitar truly soars on this one. All is so good - the lyric, melody, band, your bass track, the mix and the vid -- meaning the whole package. Although the last two years have definitely shown us all how much we value friendships, thanks for this excellent reminder! J&B Man, I dig that about you guys. There is no "If I started the day..." JaniceAndBud is one word. Doldrums always fly right by the Merritt household. Awesome tune Marty. Very cool intro. Loved Daves guitar work. Super vocal and lyric. Love how your bass drives the groove of the song. Well done Thanks, Scott. I always felt the drummer defines the song, and the bass is the glue between all the instruments, the one who can connect directly with the front folks --soloists and singers. I always liked being the guy that backstage people would say, "Oh, you're in the band, too." hehe Hey,I stumbled across your YT channel the other day. You gotta do more. It was great watching and hearing you play. Thanks to everyone that mentioned my part in this, and thanks for the invite, Marty, always fun.
Well deserved --even actually somewhat reserved-- accolades, Dave. You are more than welcome, and always such an elevating addition to any song --any style. Marty / Dave,
You guys have some of the best blues out there. Excellent vocals and unreal guitar tones.
Loved it!
Bob Thank you, Bob!!
