Everything You Do Is Wrong

D'ya ever wake up in the morning and find yourself all alone?
You start you new job in an hour, but see your front tire is blown.
You wait at the curb for forever until another bus comes along.
You're still so far from town when the bus starts break down.
Seems everything you do is wrong.

You hitch a ride from a weido who lets his ferret tag along.
He takes a wrong turn. How long till you learn
everything you do is wrong.

Can't you see the ever-constant theme?
It seems to be your unique brand.
When your feet land softly on the ground
you landed in quicksand.

On the right you see the river and you know what should be done.
You climb the bridge and look over your shoulder,
preparing for the fall to come.
A garbage barge is heading up the river,
and soon it will be under you headlong.
You raise your hands and cry thinking soon you're gonna die,
but everything you do is wrong.

Marty, There are some really great lines sprinkled throughout and the guitar fills and lead are PROfessional as all get out!

A great effort and fun listen - which is a great feat for a blues song.

Howdy Marty....

I dig this one.
Cool song topic with good lyrics topped off with Dave's excellent axe playing.
Much to like with this one.

Well done amigos!

Really nice work by everyone involved Marty!

You and Dave sure do some great work together. This one is super special.

Nice.

Well, I do hope the large garbage barge, with a pilot named Marge helped him to take charge of his life smile

As always, pro blues all the way. Well done.

I just left a comment on your YouTube post. Safe to just say it's another corker from you, and Dave's guitar is as perfect as ever.

Marty,

That's a great opening verse. Something we all feel / experience at some point. Love your vocal and of course Dave's guitar.

The mix on this is excellent - crisp and loud. Sounds great through room speakers.

Marty and Dave, you two are dynamite together.
Marty great bass and vocals.
Dave great guitar licks!
A super mix.
Outstanding blues!

Cool song.
Strong!
But wrong!

As always, your bass and Dave's noodling are VERY good, and the lyrics are pretty cool too.
Enjoyed the ride!

Hi Marty and Dave,

As I wrote on YT this song is a very attractive Blues. I like that kind of songs.
The solo is great, but I need to add 'of course'. Dave is really in his element in these types of songs!
And you did a great job on the lyrics andvocals, but also on the bass (of course, too).
There was one thing that was a bit a pitty: The song was too short...
Couldn't you extended those lyrics, is crossing my mind.

Nice day,
Hans

Marty + Dave.
I was 99% sure I replied couple of days ago... green dot told me that I didn't. Mystery.
Super tune! Funny lyrics so well performed! Only Marty can do it. Cool vocals / phrasing. All played parts by you and Dave are perfect. Mix is spotless. Really liked this one, thank you for sharing.

Misha.

P.S. Reading the title, I thought the tune is about me.

You have a wonderful imagination, Marty, and we all reap the benefits. 😊

You and “on fire Dave“ sound great and the band is cooking too (love the vintage electric piano.)
Excellent session guys all around and nice addition of the tambourine tracks to the drums.

The vortex in the vid during Dave’s solo is cool!

You packed a lot of goodness in to 3:37

Enjoyed it!

Hi Marty & Dave,

You gentlemen never disappoint. Everything you do is pure gold - this one's 24-carat!

Dave's guitar is on fire, your bass line is so perfect, and the lyric is a great read. Your vocal sits in there perfectly! This is great music! Everything is perfectly done and produced. Congrats to both of you on a terrific song!

Take care,

Alan

Thanks, Steve. Yeah, he landed right on Marge's lap. She took him back to her shed, fixed him some vittles, changed his life and he never looked back.

Flames, smoke & a smouldering fret board kick this off really well & keeps he touch paper light.
Excellent stuff Marty & Dave. Wonderful.

Hi Marty.

The song finished playing about 10 minutes ago and I can still hear it loud and clear in my mind.
This is such a brilliant write.
Everything about this grabbed me and held me.
You and Dave have produced a really fine piece of music.

Loved it!

Thanks for everything, Hans. Sure, I could write words all day, and the guy I'm writing about has a whole life of wrong-doings. But...

What a cool lyric Marty. The song really laid out the feel of the lyrics. Perfect vocal and cool basslines. Dave's biting guitar was perfect for the song as well. One of my favs of yours
Posted By: Ezekiel's Storm Re: Everything You Do Is Wrong - 04/13/24 11:42 AM
Dave's guitar. Marty's clever lyrics. Everything is done right. Very convincing vocal. One of your best.

Haha. I'm 100% sure I've done that, AND it was always my best comment ever. I'm just glad you're here, Misha. Ha! About you? No way you were told stuff like that growing up. That's right, you're so wrong about that.

Ah, good to know we speak the same language, Dan. You caught that intentional error too. Hope you figure out where to put your finger to find what really appeals to you. ==Wait, sorry. That sounds so wrong. Let's go back to our first language --the one with flats and sharps.

Thanks, Scott. Really happy you mentioned the feel matching the lyrics --not always something I'm good at.

Sounds like a song about me: if I do A, it's wrong and if I do the opposite of A, it's also wrong laugh So easy to relate to the main character of the theme. Excellent storytelling. Nice cliffhanger ending or should I say bridgehanger smile

The melody, the chords and the instrumentation are in beautiful balance. Very pleasant bassline, BIAB instruments fit perfectly with it and Dave's guitar is doing everything right. The mix sounds great and the vocals make me nod with satisfaction.
