There's No Time on Soundclound
There's No Time on YouTube


Here's one that laments or acknowledges the lack of time. Of course it's a result of all the things that are currently in my life that distract from music. Mine and yours! My priority here is listening to your stuff because I've heard mine so many times, and although I read every comment, I may not get to reply to the last few. When driving I always try to listen to your stuff, too. It's great driving around listening to Floyd Jane, Janice & Bud, and recently David Snyder streaming through the speakers. Of course my favorite is all the Blue Attitude stuff. If anyone else has a channel on Spotify, please let me know.

SStyle is _BTGAMP.STY (Amplitube Baritone Blues Shuffle)

RealTracks in style: ~673:Organ, B3, Background Blues BB Ev 085
RealDrums in Song: BluesMondaySw8^03-Stick,SnrRide
RealTracks in song: 385:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm Blues Chuck Sw 102
RealDrums in Song: BluesRockShuffle^2-HHt,Ride
Dave Bell of Blue Attitude played some great guitar
I played bass and sang

There's No Time

There's no time like the present to present the lack of time.
Ya gotta get up early on Saturday just to not fall behind.
There's no time for confessions if you've gotta stand in line.
You cannot get things done when there's no time.

We're heading t'ward a future that out does our fantasy,
and we're gonna sing and play all our time away. What a lovely way to be.
We can't begin a new life at the old one's finish line.
It's hard to get things done when there's no time.

BR: Every time I see you I just want to hold you close to my heart,
Maybe Time will free you and we can make the very most from the start.
So then every fight we've ever had will disappear like a pet rock fad,
We could erase makes you sad.
Extra days could make things fine, but there's no time.

I'd like to finally have you push the past a bit behind.
I want to keep you mine, but there's no time.
I'd like to draw the line but there's no time.
I'd push the past behind but there's no time.

If I get the choice then I always first watch the video :-).

Very solid song guys! Excellent vocals. But I have to say that the Hammond organ almost steals the show for me. Those licks, how functional!

Dave always does a great job on the solo. This one is no exception (and comes really close to UFO's Michael Schenker's sound!).

Marty you had me from the 1st measure!

Great collaboration.

Strong vocal in an excellent mix.

Loved it.

Now that was fun! Great song. The organ was cool, and you really rocked the bass. Another clever wright. I really liked that line of every fight disappearing like a pet rock fad. Picked some good rhythm instruments too and the lead guitar was top notch. Never knew the blues could make you so happy!
Posted By: rayc Re: There's No Time - 08/12/22 10:44 PM
Cool song Marty,
I would venture that the rhythm guitar seems either too far panned or too loud but that is looking for nits.
Your songs & voice make me want to see/hear you in a nice small blues bar.
Bell wrings another good one from the neck (sorry - bad pun).
Thanks for the warmth.

Marty...another very cool song...smart lyrically and a great blues groove...but do you actually mean that my pet rock (Petra) is out of vogue...oh well...other than that obviously bigoted line...nice song...you and Dave are a formidable pair to say the least...how do you keep coming up with these great concept tunes? and I love the video but you know that... what you don't know is so did Petra...you feel bad now...don't you!!
Posted By: Al-David Re: There's No Time - 08/13/22 01:07 AM
Marty ...

Love these relatively slow shuffle blues. It's just a slow, steady swing that feels so graceful. You and Dave have given us some terrific music since ya'll got together.

Super song and Dave's playing was spot on - isn't it always!!??

Cool concept and perfectly executed on all fronts. Nice!

Me, too, Rob. Thanks. Interesting that you mention the B3. I always think of Dave as the main interest in the song, and now I'm thinking maybe the organ is detracting from that. I agree that it so good though, and may overuse it or leave it a bit too high in the mix before getting Dave track. Thanks, I'll be more vigilant.

Thanks, Mario. That's why it's a good idea to start off with a guitar into. wink

Hi, Brad! The blues has made me happy since I was a little kid hanging out in my uncles nursing home boiler room with the coolest janitor ever. It was always best when one of the orderlies came in to blow harp. They were always their happiest lost in the blues.

Thanks, Ray. Keep looking. I thoroughly appreciate your ears and taste. Nits like that are the very things that distract the mind. They eat earworms.

Howdy Marty....

I agree with other comments.

This is a good write.
Good mix and well performed.
Some damn fine axe playing too by Dave.

Well done!

Posted By: floyd jane Re: There's No Time - 08/13/22 05:03 PM
Marty,

A good write. A BUNCH of good lines...

"There's no time like the present to present the lack of time.
Ya gotta get up early on Saturday just to not fall behind."

....knock me over.

This is the BabuMusic signature sound.
That vocal that speaks-to-the-listener.
That Buttery Bass keeping a solid rhythm.
That BlueAttitude guitar lifting it higher.

Good video. Good mix.
A song to listen to while driving (put it on your list! smile )

I had forgotten about this little gem, it was a while ago that I did the guitar for it I think.

Excellent song, so well written as per usual!

Thanks to everyone that mentioned my part, it was a fun song to play on.

Marty,

That was some fine songwriting and musicianship by both you and Dave! You always produce highly entertaining music and I enjoyed it all the way through! You and Dave make such a great team!

Thanks, Torrey

Ah, my sensitive Dan. There is no intended slant on your relationship with Petra. It was the fad that faded. My Smokey Stoner and your Petra should meet.

Marty, you had me from "I love David Snyder."

No man, just kidding. Ha ha.

Really, this is blues at its best and you guys are the blues champs in my book. But, come to think of it, there are a lot of blues champs on this forum.

ANYWAY, you guys are AMONG the elite crowd of blues champs both here and on the Internet in general.

I love this stuff man.

Nice orchestration and very pleasant atmosphere. The mix is ​​well done. Ozone lends itself wonderfully well. I appreciated.

Firstly with J&B a good shuffle is tough to beat!

“It's hard to get things done when there's no time. “

And yet it seems like we have more time to do things BUT the time is going by too quickly to do them. wink (Bud here: I'll credit Janice with that Zen like contradiction!)

We like how your lyric addresses the issues of our lack of and inevitability of time.

Excellent vocal, smooth bass (Bud says he wants to play like that when he grows up), Dave’s nice, fat tone on his guitar and a great choice of BiaB band mates.

How did you find the time to make that video? As always cool imagery supports the lyric and that's what it's all about!

Very timely indeed!

Marty,
Nice one! Excellent message which I can absolutely relate to smile
Ace vocals! Everything sounds better when Dave takes guitar - very cool opening.
"There's no time for confessions if you've gotta stand in line." good one.
Mix is very clean, sounds great on my AKGs. Neat video too. Thank you for sharing,
Misha.

Okay, the pet rock line was worth the price of admission! I have to admit that being retired, I have plenty of free time and so I had to imagine my life a few years back to get into the gist of your song. You always write a good lyric and this was another fine one. The vocal was excellent, too, and Dave's guitar was icing. And of course, your bass work is nonpareil. You seem to be able to turn out great work, one right after the other. Wish I could do that. Keep it up, bassmeister!
Posted By: B.D.Thomas Re: There's No Time - 08/20/22 05:43 PM
Found this one a bit late...and I like it. A lot.

Great blues with cool lyrics we all can relate to, and you've got a really good guitar player for your song.

It has a great vibe, and yes, as others already said, perfect for driving your car.

Thanks you guys!! Bud, I hear no contradiction in Janice's sage words. And don't ever grow up, Bud. We wouldn't recognize you. Janice, our granddaughter has a mountain bike and she wants to grow up to be just like you. A great singer who knows the fun of flying..

Always love to hear your stuff Marty!!!! Next to Janice, you're on of my favorite singers on the forum.....so natural full of personality!!! BTW, I am also on Spotify and always looking for listeners. If you look up "Greg Johnson", my profile has the old looking piano photo. Great stuff from you here!! Take care. Greg

Speaking of no time... I'm super-late on getting on the train for this song!

Starts out with a rocking guitar, so I checked which RealTrack you used to get it to sound so good... and of course, it's Dave Bell.

That explains it! laugh

Only then did I read the notes. wink

Fun listen!
