Aint been around for a while.

Had a computer melt down that ultimately led to building my own computer.
Taken me quite a while to get things up and running again.

My first few new songs are very simple arraignments with just me on guitar and vocals.

Here's one called " Those Lies"

Thanks for listening and commenting.

Lyrics:

She's got lightning burning in her eyes
And there's thunder every time she cries
And I brought this storm upon us when I told her those lies

Oh the dark cloud cover wipes the sunshine from the sky
And the cold wind blow'n passing thru me like a knife
And I brought this storm upon us when I told her those lies

I try to tell her everything aint black and white
And she cried and it echoed thru the night
And I brought this storm upon us when I told her those lies

Fury of emotion carries thru to daylight
The restless rage is rolling with no end in sight
And I brought this storm upon us when I told her those lies

moto,

Good write.

Cool sound. Nice guitars, nice vocal.

I like it.

Hi Moto,

Dig this tune, so intimate with the sparse arrangement. Nice songwriting, singing, and guitars. This could be your coffee house version and the song would also work with full rock band treatment.

Cheers,

Frank

very nice.
i hear some high female vocal harmonies later on in the song...just a gut feeling.
like a gradual build up idea.
what i like about this song is its "different".
well done.
best

Glad to have you back Moto. Excellent tune. Loved the intro. Loved the guitars and super vocal. Well done

GOOD song, good lyric.
Sometimes the distorted guitar sounds brilliant and other times it doesn't.
That's the luck of the game.
Well done.

Nice! I really dig your vocal, good write too.

Love the main guitar part, very cool. The other guitar has it's moments too

Good to see you back with a new one, I'm a fan.

Thanks Floyd



Thanks for listening Frank.
I appreciate your comments.



Glad you liked it.
I was shooting for different.
Thanks


Happy to be back hanging out with such talented people.
Thanks for the comments Scott



Ray, thanks for listening and taking time to comment.
About the distorted guitar, maybe some listeners like it maybe some don't.
I never I never challenge a listener's perspective.
I can say there's no luck in this one, it is exactly what I was shooting for brilliant or not.



Thanks Dave,
I know that distortion can be in your face, the subject of the lyrics is not a pleasant one, I wanted some hurt in there.

You nail that feeling for sure.

This is one hell of a song. Loved everything about. You vocal is very strong on this one. Nice guitar chops also.

Two thumbs up.

Thanks Mario,
You've been putt'n out some great stuff lately, appreciate you giving it a listen.

moto,

Hi Captain,

This is an excellent listen in every way. You've got the knack for making good music!

I love the minor-key vibe. The lyrics are a perfect fit for it.

It's two thumbs up from me!

All the best,
Noel

Janice immediately said the tune reminded her of Neil Young's
instrumental in the Depp movie "Dead Man."

We feel the fills well work in the way they accentuate the lyrics.

"Fury of emotion carries thru to daylight
The restless rage is rolling with no end in sight
And I brought this storm upon us when I told her those lies"

Excellent lyric. And vocal. And mix.

Enjoyed it!

J&B

Thank you sir!

Thanks kids,
Wow......just gave that a listen, pretty cutting edge stuff there from Mr. Young.

I had to apply some interesting techniques to get that sound.

Oh man... strong lyrics and a very fitting musical composition! I liked your song a lot!

It is great that you are back and I hope you soon will share some more tracks with us.

Will

Thanks Will,
So happy you enjoyed that.
More to come.

Cap’n:

Computer issues suck . . . but glad you got yourself back up and running—welcome back! And, boy, what a re-entry tune. Love the write—really like how you carried the “storm” elements throughout the tune. The vocal is excellent and works perfectly with the stripped down arrangement. Very impressive outing!

My very best to you,

Deej

Your voice reminds me a bit of Stephen Stills. Song sounds like something he might do, too. Nice work.

Thanks Deej,
I've used the guitar to do some "sound effects" in the past.
It can be a little gimmicky so, I don't do it too often.

moto



Stephen Stills...quite a compliment, thank you.

Kids? Bud might be the oldest guy on forum!

Bud

Love that opening guitar... and all the guitar parts for that matter.

The song has a gripping quality that holds you throughout.

Wow, what a great piece! Most excellent vocal performance.

That sounds great Captain! I think it's perfect like it is! Some tunes don't need a full accompaniment with drums, keys etc! This spare arrangement allows one to focus on the really good lyric content! Thanks, Torrey

Hi CaptainMoto,

The original arrangement of the guitar is very well done. It's fun and the mix impeccable. Well done.

Kindly regard

BRAVO. A pared-back approach that just works. Period. And that's what matters.

Top notch stuff.

Thanks for listening.
I appreciate your comments.

CaptainMoto,

Brother, this was one cool song! It had a Billy Joe MacAllister sound to it. Really cool playing and great vocals. I enjoyed the listen, thanks for posting!

Slow burn blues - grabs my attention and keeps it until the end.

Thanks David,
Did somebody say "SLOW BURN" ?
Check it out, it's on my first album.

Capt.
Sweet! Flows very well. You hooked this fish the right way. My new favorite of yours. Cool & unique sound.
Thank you for sharing.

Misha.

Misha,
Fishing was not on my mind, maybe I hooked a listener though.

Thanks
