#392987 - 01/29/17 06:16 AM [User Showcase] The Lady Doesn't Want To Go Home
Registered: 08/10/12 Posts: 8766 Loc: Florida floyd jane Veteran Registered: 08/10/12 Posts: 8766 Loc: Florida	Summer of '74... I was playing The Rusty Nail in Rome, NY. A woman (I say "woman" because I was 19 - she was 27) began coming in every week (Saturday). She'd sit at the bar...alone. Every guy in the place would approach her at some point (she was heartbreakingly beautiful). She'd turn away from them every time. And continue her solitude. My heart jumped every time she walked in the door. We would often see her leave as we pulled away after packing up. This song is about that "picture" - that "moment in time". epilogue: One night as we were breaking down, she came over and started talking to me. Me?... virtually tongue-tied. We ended up going to another bar. And then her house. We were together for about 9 months, though long-distance, as at the end of the summer, I had to go back to school in Montreal. (You might say she was my "Maggie May") I almost married her. Ahh... to be young... THE LADY DOESN'T WANT TO GO HOME she listens to the jukebox all night long singing the words to her favorite songs nursing a beer, dancing in her head pretending not to be alone it only makes her crazy to wonder why he said the things he said and then said goodbye so drop another quarter make the jukebox cry the lady doesn't want to go home why run to an empty bed to dream the dreams of the lonely bartender leave those neon lights alone the lady doesn't want to go home she's had her fill of the lies men tell knows their promises far too well believed too hard the last time she fell a heart's not made of stone she stares at her glass thinking nothing at all plays with a match and talks to the wall dreading the sound of another last call the lady doesn't want to go home why run to an empty bed to dream the dreams of the lonely bartender leave those neon lights alone the lady doesn't want to go home another cowboy tries to talk his way into her heart ma'am you look like you could use a friend but she turns away without a word afraid to let it start she knows where these things end why run to an empty bed to dream the dreams of the lonely bartender leave those neon lights alone the lady doesn't want to go home And, the BAND: Style is _BOOGNO2.STY (NewOrl.Boogie w.TrainDrms[165RS]) RealTracks in style: 2149:Bass, Electric, NewOrleansBoogie Ev 165 RealTracks in style: 2151:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm NewOrleansBoogieKevin Ev 165 RealTracks in style: 2150:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm NewOrleansBoogie Ev 165 RealDrums in style: NewOrleansBoogie^04-a:Funky Snare , b:Snare, Tom Ride RealTracks in song: 2152:Piano, Acoustic, Soloist NewOrleansBoogieKevin Ev 165 RealTracks in song: ~501:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm StoneZ Flash 1 Ev 140 ('B' only) RealTracks in song: ~622:Pedal Steel, Background Waylon Ev 176 RealTracks in song: ~670:Guitar, Slide, Background EasySouthern Ev 165 Hope you enjoy this Comments welcome.

Coming back out of the instrumental break, I'd fade that dobro/slide faster so that it doesn't end up on the same note as the singer. "Run".... only minor nit I had with the production.

Great lyrics and I love the instrumentation and production, especially how you did the chorus with the holds, very effective. Also enjoyed reading the story that inspired it!

I like the way the slide ends up on the same note as your voice, sorry Herb :D, I also like the back story, I was 24 in 74 and "working hard" for my 1st finals exam at Christmas but I did somehow play piano for the pre-release party for Mel Brooks' Young Frankenstein in our hospital theatre, not surgical theatre . And I walked up the Cinema's red carpet at the opening, meeting the actors. No I don't know why the opening party was in my hospital either but I fleetingly met many of my comedy heroes then and played a short pathetic version of Bring me Sunshine for Eric Morecombe and Ernie Wise as they danced. Thank goodness for the fake books I had borrowed!! Thanks for the memory! "to dream the dreams of the lonely" great line. enjoyed that a lot Alyn _________________________ My showcase songs My story

A brilliant backing, Floyd and a mix which works well in both the 'phones and on the big Tannoys up LOUD. Great story line - it always adds something knowing about the background to a song. A super foot-tapper which I'm just going back to listen to again. Classic. ROG. _________________________ Free online guitar lessons. Cours de guitare gratuit en ligne.

I thought I was getting' ready to hear a tender ballad and ( I did look at the instruments and saw New Orleans Boogie piano) was blown away by this cool rocker. Wonderful job on this, I wonder if you're at the top of your game now( as in best you've ever been writing songs) because I seem to like every new song even more than the last one. Nearly every bar I played in had some mystery woman in it. This is great writing! love the drums and slide especially. Kenny Edited by 44kfl (01/29/17 11:40 AM)

"Run".... only minor nit I had with the production. Thanks for the listen, Herb. Appreciate the thought on that last lead note. It doesn't come until the very end of "run...", so it helps to extend that word/melody. So I like the effect that is has. Originally Posted By: BlueAttitude Another good song, Floyd!

Extremely well written and produced. The slide works perfectly. Production top notch as always, and a vocal that delivers. Interesting story too! I guess she just came back every night waiting for the guitar player to approach her. Another excellent write Floyd!! Take care. Greg

And very enjoyable-top drawer production ( love the ending),super vocals and harmonies. I also like the detail in your lyrics, especially this: she stares at her glass thinking nothing at all plays with a match and talks to the wall dreading the sound of another last call Robert

Great and lively delivery Floyd. Right up there with your typical standard. This is just so well produced, much more than a great song. Your use of subtle stops and the boogie style really nailed this. Just marvelous. _________________________ BIAB&RB2020(Audiophile),Win-10Pro, SonarPlatinum, Izotope Prod.Bundle, Roland RD-1000, Synthogy Ivory, Kontakt, Focusrite 18i20, KetronSD2, KorgX3R, RodeNGT2, AM802mixer, NS40M StudioMonitors, Pioneer Act.

Another good write, mix, arrangement and performance. Enjoyed it.

So, it was quite a trick to take that and country/rock/NOLA it. And I like the space you put in the chorus/hook ; lights alone...////.... the lady doesn't.... Really sets up hook! _________________________ Andy BIAB 2017 Ultra Windows 8 and 10 Scarlet 18i8 Reaper and Mixpad

As does the lively backing. The rhythm and the phrasing of the verses is most pleasing to my ears. Good one. 'Make the jukebox cry'. Ahh... to be young... Cheers.

Upgrading to Band-in-a-Box® 2020 is Easy!

Did you know... anyone who has owned a previous version of Band-in-a-Box® is entitle to upgrade pricing - you do not need to have your old version installed!

Maybe you used to own the Windows version, but you now have a Mac... that's not a problem either!
(or if you owned the Mac version, and now you have a Windows computer)

In both cases, you would purchase from the "Upgrade from 2018 or earlier or crossgrade" row here for a new Mac version, or here if you want the newest Windows version. Just need to upgrade your 2019 version? Use the "Upgrade from 2019/2020" row.

When you purchase your upgrade from either of these rows, you will receive a complete installation - just follow the steps of the setup, and your Band-in-a-Box® will be ready to use!

PG Music Inc. shopping cart accounts were not required to purchase from our website prior to October 29, 2014. With that in mind, you may have to create an account in order to upgrade - that's OK! You'll still be entitled to upgrade pricing.
