It's All Good

Lyrics
I don't always, do what's right for me, I'm just as stubborn as a tree.
I can be, as thick, as a brick, wall.
I don't know nuthin 'bout livin' healthy, ain't figured out how to get myself wealthy.
Ain't got a dime, or the time to make that call...

(chorus) Don't always do what I think I should, but I'd like to think that I would if I could.
I Can't understand, why I'm so mis-understood,
But I'm gettin' better, and It's All good...

You could make eyes at me, and I'd Just look away,
I don't know what's wrong with me these days.
I got no pick-up, get-up and go,
And I can't remember when I felt so low.
If I could just find my ol' lady, I think I'd be ok...

(1st Chorus repeat) (Solo)

I got no pick-up, get-up and go,
and I can't remember when I felt so low.
ain't been the same, since my gal walked out that door...

(Last Chorus) Now everything changed when I left the hood, moved outa' town to a cabin in the woods,
Now I understand, I just misunderstood... I'm still crazy... and It's All Good...
(outro)

I produced this song several years ago with lots of help from BiaB, but unfortunately, I have no record of which Realtracks I used.
I sang, and played some Guitar & Keys... Tracked, Mixed & Mastered in Cakewalk.
Thanks for listening, and I hope you enjoy...

Hi, bloc-head.

Catchy and fun!

The vocals (and backing vocals) are excellent!

As is... well, everything else, too.

Solid production - sounds awesome on my headphones.

Hi bloc-head,

Absolutely superb - everything!

It reminds me so much of "The Band" playing "Ophelia" - and that is a very very good thing and big compliment to you.

The best song I've heard on this forum in a long time.

Well done.

Best Regards
Nigel

Outstanding vocals and backing tracks. Great lyrics.

This is pro all the way.

Loved it.

Sweet bluesy ear candy, impeccably produced. All kinds of forces playing really happy in there, bravo.

Thanks for the great feedback David.

Song, vocals and slide reminded me of Lowell George and Little Feat. Another really, really good track from you!

Bloc-head:

Good rockin’ blues groove to this one. Some great internal rhyming that give it a nice feel. Terrific chorus featuring some great BGVs. Nice toe-tapping tune. Excellent!

Yeah, that’s one catchy chorus!

All my best to you,

Deej

Wow, that is a huge compliment... I remember "Levon & The Band" were some of my very favorites. I'm very flattered by your kind words. Thank you Nigel.

I appreciate that Mario... I loved your recent "Moving" piece...

Thanks Mark, I'm really happy you liked it...

I like this. Catchy cool track and your vocal is really rocking the feeling !! Nice !!

I love Little Feat and still miss Lowell George, years ago, after he died, I was lucky enough to meet the band members backstage, at one of their concerts, and was allowed to take a direct audio feed, straight out of the Main Mixer... recorded the whole show onto HI-FI VCR tapes... I still have the recordings. Thanks for listening, and the great feedback.

Cool groove to the song. Super vocal and lyric. Loved the backtrack...

Oh wow! hard to stay still listening to this. Great vocals and good production all around. Thanks!

Mike B.

bloc-head,

You are continuing to produce some of the best music on the forum!! This is off the charts good! You are blending such cool sounds from so many directions that it's hard to appreciate it all! That chorus is chart topping stuff...for sure it would have been in the 70's!

A big fan here of your material and I am confident you will have many forum members, and beyond, in awe of the fine work you are producing!

Thanks, Torrey

Hey bloc...can I call you bloc? Bloc-Head seems so formal...I really like your music in general and this one in particular...your lyrics are always clever and interesting to listen to and the music is always a great marriage with them...I'm a harmony lover and this was tight...bluesy tunes always lend themselves to bluesy vocals (makes sense right?)...you nailed it...a great listen...Dan

All the best to you too DeeJ... Thanks so much for the fine feedback.






Thanks Henry, I love your style, and your latest track is terrific.

BH,
You have a special relationship with words. They seem to be very obedient. Excellent composition and performance. Positive, well delivered tune. Liked the chorus type doubling harmonies. Thank you for sharing.
Misha.

I appreciate you listening and commenting... Thanks Scott.

Indeed it is. And that chuckle was the perfect ending.
Josie

Very catchy and fun song to listen to. Great arrangement and production work.


Charlie

Thanks Mike...



And a big thanks to you Torrey, for inspiring us all here on this forum.
I'm really happy you liked this.

Yes, that does make sense, and yes, you may call me bloc...
And thank you for all those very nice, friendly comments.



Thank you for listening, and your positive, and encouraging words... and also, a big thanks for all your insightful comments, and help on the main BiaB foum.

Little Feat from the get-go to the tag. Excellent.

The vocals (all of them) were standout.

The dobro was an excellent choice and worked very nicely.

Good write and mix too. Sounds great on our brand new monitors.

We really don't like the word catchy ... hmmmm how about very engaging!

J&B

bloc-head,

Killer.

Excellent write. Tight. Original.

Terrific vocals & harmonies.

Excellent production. Excellent mix.

Damn Good Music.

(I heard a touch of Leon Russell and a smidgen of Leo Sayer... )

Thanks Josie... Today, I listened to your song, Mercy... a Lovely Song/Production. You are very talented.

Thanks for the great feedback Andi.



Charlie, I appreciate you listening, and commenting... and thanks for all your helpful advice on the main BiaB forum.

I'm so happy y'all found this tune "engaging"... it was a fun project.
Speaking of "Little Feat"... years ago, after Lowell died, I was fortunate to meet the band members backstage, at one of their concerts, and was graciously allowed to take a direct audio feed, off of their Main Mixer... I recorded the whole show onto four HI-FI VCR tapes... I still have those recordings.
Thanks again for listening, and the encouraging words.

That was fun.
Has a very familiar ring to it.

OH! I know.....it reminds me of Curtis Salgado & Alan Hager - "I Want My Dog To Live Longer"

Well done!

Every piano hotlick I know came from Leon Russell...
Thank you so much for listening Floyd... I appreciate your friendly words too.

Hi BH.
I love everything about this song,lyrics,vox,backing.Well done.
regards
Gary.

Ok, thanks Moto... I listened to "I Want My Dog To Live Longer" and I loved it... who wouldn't..?

Thanks for listening Gary, that makes me happy... your words, and music are appreciated here too.

Absolutely outstanding!

Great song, great vocal (love the harmonies and BGV's, and the way you have them arranged), very tasty guitar work too.

Sounds totally pro to me. One of the best songs I've heard on here actually, well done!

Hello Dave... thanks for listening, and those very nice & friendly comments... I've really enjoyed hearing your music as well.

C-O-O-O-L!
Very good voices.
Great chorus.

Rob and Anne-Marie

This is such a well-written, well-produced song, bloc-head. Your vocal is so good and I like the bg ooze and oz. So much fun. The kind of song I can see everyone rocking and celebrating because, yes, it's ALL so good.

Thanks for listening, and your feedback.

Good story with humor and a very satisfying ending. Nice chord progression and strong melody in the chorus. The song and nice arrangement with funky groove reminds me of Little Feat. Really good vocals.

Janne

Yes, this was a fun project, and I'm really glad you liked it... I like your music too...

Thanks for listening... I appreciate the nice comments...

There's a handy slab of Ry Cooder in this too...the Chicken skin/Bop era mostly.
tasty...a few thing pop out of the mix a little too far like some of the solo notes, the snare and some of the bvox but, overall, it is as the label describes.

I've listened to, and learned a lot from Ry Cooder... in fact my grandson's name is Rye... Thanks for the great feedback Ray... always good to read your comments...



Thank you... it was fun.

This is a well written song. Very fun. Great use of the band. This reminds me of Little Feat. Nice hook line "It's All Good". Good one.
