Lyrics:

You’re Like Barbed Wire Baby, When You Fence Me In

Just Like Barbed Wire Baby, The Way You Fence Me In

Someday I’m Gonna Break Out And I’ll Be Free Again.....Free Again



You Got The Gates Closed On Me, And Boundary Well Defined

Got The Locks Closed Tight, And You’re Mess’n With My Mind

Like Barbed Wire Baby, Got All Entwined,…....All Entwined



Every Time I Step Out, You Pull Me Right Back In

Like Barbed Wire Baby, You're Ripp’n Up My Skin

I’m All Scratched Up, Don’t Ask Me Where I’ve Been,…...Where I’ve Been

Ha...Take It Away Boys



~~ Gutar Solo~~



Got My Clothes All Tore Up, And I’m Bleed’n Like A Pig

Barbed Wire Cut Me, Got Me Feel’n Mighty Sick

Well It's Time For Me To Bust Out, Get Runn’n Real Quick, ….....Get Runn’n Real Quick



You’re Like Barbed Wire Baby, When You Fence Me In

Just Like Barbed Wire Baby, The Way You Fence Me In

I’m Gonna Break Out, I’ll Be Free Again.....Free Again

Whoo Ha, Free Again, Ye Ha, Free Again

This is a great write. Love the intro.
Really nice production.
Reminds me of some early Elvis stuff with a touch of Johnny cash.
Love it.
Rob4580

Thanks for listening.
After I recorded and got close to the final mix, I thought it reminded me of somebody, IO just can't put my finger on who that is.
Elvis and Johnny Cash is a good place to start my search.

Great song. Reminded me of a woman (Barbara) years ago, who was always ripping into her colleagues. It earned her the nickname Barb Dwyer.

Nice bluesy old time piece. The guitars sound nice and twangy.
The vocal has a good live feel to it.

Well produced.

Peter

Nice, old school feel to this, late 50's, early 60s vibe.
Especially the sound you have dialed in on the guitars. Slap back delay? And tons of reverb. Great sound in my book.

Good stuff, Captain, I like your style.

Thanks for listening.
Sorry to drudge up memories of Barb.

moto,

A good Blues write. And a classic sound. A sound that never goes out of style.

Good guitar work. Good vocals. Well mixed - a tight sound with a "live" element. Nice!

An enjoyable listen.

Thanks Peter,
I think this one deserved a little twang.

Hi Captain,

That's a groovy song (old word I used years ago)
But the sphere your song breaths is like those years.
The guitars gave me that familiair feeling between one the one hand the Shadows and on the other hand J.J Gale
A bit uncomparable, but you manageged to do that to me! But I think your voice helped to get mr Gale here.
and in a way the song is also 'understated' if that's the proper word. Just like the songs from Floyd and Peter and Leon.
Maybe it is because we get enough of the lockdown by now.

I liked it much, captain!
Hans

Just make it rusty barbed wire for the total effect. Nasty stuff.... BUT.... the song is cool.

I could hear Johnny Cash singing that back in the day.

I Like it.

Very cool intro. Barb Wired. I was thinking Pamela Anderson maybe :-)... Very cool vocal and backtrack. Drums were cool and a little Hank Marvin guitar. Well done

What they said! Cool blues!

Good write, fun arrangement. Some fine playing by the "boys" too!

Yee ha!

Howdy Cap'n ...

I read the early Elvis and Johnny Cash analogies. Can't disagree with either of those. But my first thought was Carl Perkins, circa 1958. The guitar work is perfect for the genre and era. Loved all the "fenced in" references, strongly supporting the title.
Isn't it interesting how some small event can trigger such a great song?! Nice ... really nice! Take care.

Alan

Same here! I saw the thread title and went and got the URL for this photo before I listened to the song (really good listen!) and read the thread.

Thanks for listing.
No Slap Back, I've recently been using an Tape Echo.

Thank you so much Hans,
I thought it had a familiar sound....maybe you're right JJ Cale.
I always appreciate your comments

moto

Thanks FJ,
I appreciate your caomments.

moto

Hank Marvin?...it is rather wet!

Thanks
Moto

The boys don't always follow my direction.
They have a mind of their own.

Thanks,

moto

Thanks for dropp'n in, I'll have to go give him a re-listen.
Hope your doing well.

OH Pam!
She wasn't on my mind...........until now!

moto

Thanks for your comments,
"Rusty Barbed Wire" ?
Actually, that's where I wanted to go, somehow I took a different turn.

moto

A cool little ditty - nice arrangement and those three guitars are sitting pretty.
The kick drum seems to be in the wrong song though.

Ray,
Thanks for listening and commenting.

I'm not sure what you mean by "in the wrong song"
I wanted some heavy bottom on this if, that's what you're talking about.

Great sounding guitars, especially the solo is very cool.
I enjoyed the vocals and those extras, ye ha! I can imagine riding on a horse to freedom.

Janne

Captain,
Cool gentle and romantic tune Done well in all respects. Enjoyed it.
Thank you for sharing.
Misha.

P.S. Maybe future Olympic sport: Barbed fence climbing... Who knows...

Well, for starters, hey, it's a 12 bar. Yea!

Rollicking fun indeed.

Guess it's just J&B but we hear a lot more blues in this than the
aforementioned rockabilly references. Although admittedly the
production does harken to that era.

Fine vocal and guitar performances and a cool write.

Most enjoyable!

J&B

Hi CaptainMoto,

I like the very melodic guitar solo just in its place in terms of volume and varied in terms of playing. For me the arrangement is superb. I appreciated. Well done.

Kindly regard

Clever lyrics. I love your guitar work on this AND that overall sound you got with those guitars. COOL.

Perfect, Moto!! Man, the sound of that guitar is perfect 50s tone. The whole thing rocks.

Great job Captain loved it 50s for sure!! great job on instruments and vocal thanks Eric

Thanks Janne,
Thanks for your comments.
Ha,,,fence climbing olympics. Good One!

Glad you enjoyed it!
After all, I'm a Blues Guy at heart.
Thanks
Thanks you sir,
Once in a while I get the mix right, maybe this one was close.

Thanks Ezekiel,
I out a lot of work into the guitar mix, glad you enjoyed it.



Rock on Marty!
Thanks for listening



Thanks Eric,
I always appreciate you comments.

Well that brings back youthful memories.
Great title.

Vic

Hey, Cap’n:

Boy, do I really like this one—a real foot tapper. Those guitars have a 60’s throwback vibe, then married to that Tex Mex percussion . . . smokey cool! And your vocal sits really well in the mix. Terrific write and great production work on this one. Congrats!

All my best to you,

Deej

Good ol' 50 blues. You did a fantastic job on this. I got a Carl Perkins vibe from this one. This is your best to date IMHO.

Thanks for listening Vic.

Carl Perkins aint a bad place to land.
Thanks Mario

BTW, I'm cutting down on hotdogs and I got my Vax.

Dear Captain Moto:
Hey this popped up on my Release Radar on Spotify last Friday.
Very nice tune and great to listen to.
Right now I'm listing to it about 4 times a day because I run this 2 hour playlist while I'm at work.
So every 2 hours or so here comes that nice intro lick and it makes me relax and smile.

That is the sign of a great tune!

For this one, the ultimate compliment. It had me humming the words. Nice lyrics and melody.

Agreed!! Very classic and very well done!! Great job Cap'n!! Take care. Greg

p.s. Sorry, meant to copy Floyd's post!

The 12-bar blues format for writing a song never gets tired. I really enjoyed listening.

Love your guitar work!

Regards,
Noel

Yep, great idea for a song, it worked well. Very classic sound. Well done!

Thanks for that report Marty.
I'm happy to make your work day a tad happier.

Thanks for that compliment, Soundchaser.

Humming along is a good thing.

Thanks for your comment Greg,
Glad you enjoyed it.

Hey Noel,
I'm kind of a simple 12-bar kinda guy.
I've been using a tele lately and I'm liking it.

CaptainMoto,

Nice bluesy old time tune.
As Guitarhacker says, "Just make it rusty barbed wire for the total effect."
It also has an old country song feel.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.
