Hi All, Here's something called DOESN'T MATTER. Clear the skies clear the decks I see you coming like a big train wreck I guess I should have expected you I know all about Leather Lou What he did and didn’t do But that doesn’t matter Does it to you You waltz in like a long lost tune Swaying soft in the half-lit room Spinning stories and your big schemes With a jacket worn at the seams A bag full of stolen dreams But that doesn’t matter So it seems I light a candle let the wax run thin Watch it pool where your words have been History lingers like an old rusted dent But the truth has a sharper scent And love ain't built on a frame that’s bent Just the ashes and echoes Of discontent Clear the skies clear the decks I see you coming like a big train wreck I guess I should have expected you I know all about Leather Lou What he did and didn’t do But that doesn’t matter Does it to you No that doesn’t matter Does it to you BIAB Tracks: 3588: Bass, Electric, RadioPop 3877: Tin Whistle, Background 2935: Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm, FolkPulse 3710: Guitar, Acoustic, RhythmJamRock 3329: Guitar, Electric, ModernFunk RealDrums: Rock16ths Other Notes: Pre-Production: Track Editing GarageBand & Logic Pro Izotope Ozone 10 Elements & Ozone 11 Izotope Nectar 3 Elements for Vocals Izotope Plasma for Instrument Tracks Processing Waves Vocal Rider Mic: Logitech Blue Yeti Final Track Mix & Master: Logic Pro As always - thanks for listening!

Again, a super ambiguous lyric from you, Bob.
Gets the imagination working.
I love the guitar licks and other instruments when they kick in, too.

Bob, very cool character sketch. Love the acoustic start and when the full band kicks in. The tin whistle was a nice touch, too. The guitar solo and fills are nice, and the volume swells/fades remind me of a "big train wreck". Masterful work.

So good, Bob. You vocal is always so engaging. It's like when you sing E.F. Hutton is talking --d'ya remember that commercial? I was so engrossed in your vocal without any recognition of what you were saying that I actually jumped when the guitar came in to interrupt --so appropriately well. Woke me up to the lyrics. When you write 'em, they matter.

Nice job.
My only nit is the guitar fill volume levels are all over the place.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Bob, this easily one of your best lyrics. The poetic nature of your writing always inspires me. Whenever I am coming up with something I try to remember to include some of the poetic elements that come so naturally to you. Great job, Tom

Another excellent song and arrangement, Bob, but after the 1st verse the vocals are too low in volume.
Some favourite Waoist Adages:
#1: Play on the Way.
#13: Ask not for whom the flower blooms, it blooms for you.
#58: Bring consciousness to it.
#63: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made.
#92: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.

Herb,
Thanks. Yeah, the volume effect was intentional to add some variation.

Bob,
This is just so dang good! Loved this, in particular:
You waltz in like a long lost tune
Swaying soft in the half-lit room
Spinning stories and your big schemes
With a jacket worn at the seams
A bag full of stolen dreams
But that doesn’t matter
So it seems
You're a fabulous storybook on two legs. You have some of the best lyrics on this forum. And you have the most unique way with words that just scream , "Ain't this good?!"
You're not just a storyteller; you put the listener square in the middle of the scene. That takes serious talent, and you have plenty of it. You're a musical artist.
