A song I wrote for my 95 year old mother, who would have been 100 last New Year's Day...

Earline

Earline, I got somethin’ brand new,
Earline, I wrote this song just for you.
You we’re the baby of the family,
Prettiest flower on the family tree… Earline…

Earline, when you we’re sweet sixteen,
Earline, coulda’ been a Delta Queen,
Sweetest gal, ever seen,
Shoulda’ been a model in a magazine, Earline

Earline, What on earth is wrong wit chu,
Earline, Still can’t believe that it was true
I can remember the words you said,
when you told me you had eyes in the back of yo head,
Earline… now I know what you mean…
~ Solos ~
Earline, won’t you come on out and play,
Earline, It’s almost Mother’s Day,
I don’t expect we’ll make the scene,
I just thought I’d buy you some Ice Cream, Earline.
~ Solo ~
New year’s baby back in 1922, old father time’s been pretty good to you…
Sweetest gal I’ve ever seen, Coulda been a model in a magazine, Earline… I love you…

This is a super tribute to your mother

Super groove, vocal, and mix

Two thumbs up

Very cool song. Loved the intro. Love how things started to slide into alignment and then the band kicked in. Loved it.

Hi Bloc-head,

This is another good song from you and reminds me of early Rolling Stones - maybe something from the Beggars Banquet album era.

Keep up the great work.

Best Regards
Nigel

Hey bloc...great tribute to your mom...love the style and the vocals were cool...a masterful use of BiaB to say the least...Great job!!

Thanks Mario... She said she liked it...
"Nobody loves me but my Mama, and she could be Jivin' too" grin;-)

That's really sweet, to be able to do that, in such a nice song. I thought for a while about recording something when my mother died but paled before the idea of trying to capture the loss. Maybe some day I can try it your way.

This is a really good one. I loved that it was about you're mom - unique and original and a cool, toe-tappin' vibe. Puts a smile on my face. I'd like to do something like this someday - inspiring!

Bloc-Head,

This is great - throughly enjoyed. A great song, tribute and production.

Bob

Scott, thank you sir...


Thanks again Nigel... Glad you like.


Dan... Thanks for listening and the great feedback.

After reading your description, I certainly never expected what followed.

What a fantastic tribute.

Your Mother must have been a wonderful funny person.

Knockout arrangement, absolutely.

Love the vibe!

BH,
Nice tribute. Very well put together and performed. The sound reminds me of some of ELO tunes.
Thank you for sharing.

Misha.

You know how to write!
You know how to play!
You know how to produce!
You, Damn Sure, know how to sing!!!

Excellent mix.

Extraordinary Music!!
Love it.

(You weren't a member of The Tennessee Fat Cats, were you????)

Thank you Mark... I appreciate your kind words. You can do it.



Brad, so glad you liked.




Thanks Bob... I'm happy you enjoyed this.

floyd pretty much said all that needs to be said I think

Excellent as per usual, enjoyed!

What a great tribute to your Mama - the lyric, performances - the total package!

Our Mama’s would’ve loved hearing this and they both would’ve said, “isn’t he sweet!”

We love the photo of your Mama also!

After the intro the vocal made this sound very Rocky Burnett.
Personally I prefer the groove of the intro.
The vocal gets really loud and seems strident in a couple of frequencies.
The progression & melody are cool & the narrative is really good.

bloc-head,

All of the comments, including mine, cannot do this justice! This song is a thing of beauty! It's hit worthy, catchy and worth many, many listens!
You are producing music that this forum needs to put on a pedestal as a shining example of what can be done using BIAB! I really hope the folks at PG Music are taking note of the consistent high-level work that you are sharing! I appreciate all of it! Thanks, Torrey

Thanks for those nice words Trevor... You're right, Earline was was a wonderful and funny lady... the coolest Mom ever...

This is one kick-a$$ song! Whoa Nellie! You having written for your mother increases its value ten-fold.

Everything is sounding good and sounding hot.

"I can remember the words you said,
when you told me you had eyes in the back of yo head" That's a good one!

Thanks Dewey...


Thank you for listening Misha, and for the nice words.


Floyd, my sincere thanks... I'm no "Fat Cat", but I am a pretty big deal here in my Garage...

Thanks Dave.


Thank y'all so much for the sweet words...


Thanks Ray, I always appreciate your great feedback.


Thanks again Torrey... Your words and music are inspiring...

Man, I love this song, I can hear a Joe Walsh sound to the guitar and even the vocals. Well done, did I say I Love this song??

This is such a good and jolly song!
Great intro btw.
And so nice your mother lived to hear it.

Rob and Anne-Marie

Yeah... you know what I mean.


Thanks Ronnie.


Thanks y'all...

Earline sounds like a rock'n mama!

cool!

Man, what a wonderful tribute to your mom, bloc-head. Glad I'm hearing it on Mother's Day. You stacked this with some terrific musicians, including yourself, and sang those words with a very affectionate heart. What a great song. I bet she loved it!

This is the 5th or 6th time I've listened to this. Just now getting around to commenting - lots going on.

What a knock-out sound! Great lyric, terrific band and hell of a vocal! You've put up a lot of fine music for us to listen to. I think your Mom is smiling!

Alan

Hi bloc-head
WOW
I really like this song
The vocals are so great
And the whole sound is just great
Great bloc-head
Many greetings
Andi ;-)

Happy Mother's Day...

Thanks Mo... Even well into her 90's, She was a cool "rocki'n mama"


She did... Even her ol' lady friends seemed to like it too... Thanks for checkin' in Marti...

Bloc-head:

First off, the vocal is just killer—really well done and mixed (though a couple of noted seem on the high end). I thought out of the gate the music bed sounded a bit busy, but it settled in thereafter, and gained momentum. Wow, the more I listen, that vocal is really sweet . . . and the BGVs are stellar. Really nice job!

Best regards,

Deej

Thanks Alan, your feedback is much appreciated


Thank you Andi...


I really appreciate your comments... thanks Deej

Cool song Bloc-head. Has a real rockin' vibe.

I think I have asked this before. Are you selling your song for $10 a piece on Band Camp?

Thanks David... I did sell one a while back in spite of the high price, but no, I'm deliberately trying not to sell them on this page... thus the 10x price... I do have most of my original music available for download at a normal low price on a different site.

Like many, I really don't know what I'm doing, but I'm pretty sure I'm not looking for fortune & fame in the so-called music biz... whatever that is now.

edit;
and another thing... the advertisements on SoundClod are really sucking a lot of the fun out of listening, for me.
