https://soundcloud.com/user-564042721/ragged-coatAh those heady days of breaking free to travel... in my case with not much more in the rucksack than a jar of peanut butter and books on Zen. Longing for Truth, with a new continent at my feet I spent a couple of years hitching throughout N.America & Mexico .Knocks came hard and fast, but there was a certain relish to the patched jeans & sleeping wherever of life on the road. If this song sounds a little preachy, well... I knew alot back then! I`d not played this song for years but recently saw Into The Wild with its brilliant Eddy Vedder soundtrack and revived it. Listens and/or comments welcomed and appreciated. Robert Key=Eb , Tempo 120, Length (m:s)=4:12 8 bar intro, 114 bar chorus, from bar 9 to bar 122. Repeat x1 chorus No Melody No Soloist track. Song is saved with Volume, Pan, Reverb, Chorus, Bank0, Song is saved with bar changes for Volume Changes, Style is _MANPULA.STY (Medium Pop Country Mandolin) RealTracks in style: 1268:Bass, Electric, PopUplift Ev16 120 RealTracks in song: ~1119:Guitar, 12-String Acoustic, Strumming Ev 120 RealTracks in style: 1948:Mandolin, Rhythm PopUpliftingAndy Ev16 120 RealTracks in song: 2041:Guitar, Resonator, Soloist CountryRob Ev 120 (Bluesy) RealTracks in song: ~618:Fiddle, Background Allis Ev 120 RealDrums in Song: PraiseWorshipUptempo16^6-a:Snare, HiHat , b:Snare, Ride Ragged Coat maybe it was the lonesome song of the wind in the wire in the arms of giants marching cross the sky yes and maybe it was my tin soldiers in the rain watching me with their rusty eyes when the hobos and the highway called I left the same day the house of cards I`d known as a boy jumping fences eighteen years long sleeping by the sea reading road signs like a prayer book of joy it was a here today song as a boy I`d buy for a penny from the sun and ragged was the coat I soon would wear each tear a badge I`d won from Holy Moses to Resolute and the Sea to Sky Highway I read from the gospel of the road loneliness my dark blanket torn by falling stars between the thunder of engines and the bars there`s a road leads on to paradise though all the turns are blind there`s a road leads to a palace of lies but the road I took led me where a boy stands in the rain watching me with his rusty eyes it was a here today song as a boy I`d buy for a penny from the sun and ragged was the coat I soon would wear each tear a badge I`d won © Robert Cordrey 1996

Hello, Robert
Nice production with pretty melody and your soft vocal.
I like the temporary modulation to the minor key at last chorus (C part).
Enjoyable listen.
Best Regards.

Robert,
Beautiful melancholic song.
The mandolin works great in the beginning.
Speaking of Into The Wild, Anne-Marie and I love that movie, including the soundtrack of course!

Roberkc, great song with such a good feel. Liked the way the instrumentation builds. Very Neil Young sounding, which I love. Take care, Torrey.

Peter Thanks, Peter. The shots on the chorus started with the workaround I had to do to manage a quick chord change when accompanying on guitar- glad it works on the polished version! Robert

That`s very kind Rob & Anne-Marie. Yes,that movie is so well done. I was trying for a ukulele sound on the mandolin, so tried to dirty up the RT a bit in Alloy. Robert

Well, it is a treat for all of us that you decided to revise this one...
The write and delivery works really well and your backstory alone
is a fine piece of prose.
The arrangement is thoughtful and engaging...
We like it!!

J&B Robert - J&B said just what I was thinking - so I steal their words here... "from Holy Moses to Resolute and the Sea to Sky Highway I read from the gospel of the road" ... nice... floyd

Janice & Bud and Floyd,
Thanks so much - its a good feeling to get this feedback, particularly for a song in this genre which you guys rule.
On those place names - I`ve always loved weird & wonderful town names - England probably has the most bizarre, but in my travels here I`d read some and just want to go there from the sound of the name ( I`ve been to Paradise - its in Newfoundland).
Robert

You've captured a great vibe hear Robert!! Between you vocal tone, interesting abstract lyrics, and the perfect band, it creates a very interesting listen. Resonator works perfectly. Nicely done!! Take care. Greg
