Registered: 08/10/12 Posts: 7806 Loc: Florida floyd jane Veteran Registered: 08/10/12 Posts: 7806 Loc: Florida	One of those standard "son vs. father songs"... (doesn't every writer have one?) WHAT MORE COULD I NEED daddy was a simple man very simple tastes never seemed too interested in joining in the race i could never fathom why he didn't long for more a bigger house, a nicer car a newer coat than what he wore we argued over money we argued over dreams he never understood me at least that's how it seemed i asked "don't you wonder where other roads might lead?" he settled in his chair "son, what more could i need" (chorus) i've got the day god gave me laughter fills the air i've got my own opinions if anyone should care i've got a family raised on love tho' nothing's guaranteed it seems to me i've got it made what more could i need i was not content to hang in that small town my dad's simple philosophy was not about to hold me down so i took on the world without much more than a song determined i would make it just to prove him wrong but those other roads led nowhere the world put up a fight after many years of wandering i proved my daddy right i called to say i've finally come to understand your simple creed he said "son, you're always welcome back what more could you need?" repeat chorus now i live just down the road from that house so full of love my life is filled with the simple things my dad always spoke of i've got a loving woman my son's growing like a weed and when he argues "there most be more" i'll ask "son, what more could i need?" repeat chorus The BAND: Style is _HROCAMP.STY (Amplitube HrdRockLA Bass&Guitars) RealTracks in style: 995:Bass, Electric, HardRockLA Ev 120 RealTracks in style: 999:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm HardRockLAFuzzyA-B Ev 120 RealTracks in style: 996:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm HardRockLACrispA-B Ev 120 RealTracks in song: 659:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm TexasRockChop Ev 120 (B:8ths) RealTracks in song: 1520 Guitar, Electric, Soloist CountryWorkinBrent Ev16 090 RealTracks in song: 1169 Guitar, Electric, Soloist RockMediumBrent Ev 120 RealDrums in Song: PopAmerican RealDrums in Song: PopCalypso^1-a:Snare, Closed HiHat , b:Snare, Ride Comments welcome.

Great write, lots of good lines. My favorite: "so i took on the world without much more than a song determined i would make it just to prove him wrong" chorus is great too. Bass sounded a little low, but I'm not on my music computer with the good monitors at the moment so that could be the reason. Other than that, band sounded good! _________________________ Dave Blue Attitude Website

The bass in this gave me considerable difficulty (it was actually mixed some time ago). It had a "boominess" to it that I could not tame no matter what I tried, so I finally removed all processing (compressor and eq are typical for my choices) and set it to the level of the other guitars - similar to how many Punk songs are mixed. That was the best choice I could find. Good ear... _________________________ 150+ Songs produced using BIAB RealTracks And The other list...

Registered: 12/21/13 Posts: 5352 Loc: Davis, CA Greg Johnson Veteran Registered: 12/21/13 Posts: 5352 Loc: Davis, CA	i've got the day god gave me laughter fills the air i've got my own opinions if anyone should care i've got a family raised on love tho' nothing's guaranteed it seems to me i've got it made what more could i need WHAT A CHORUS!!! This song is a lesson in the craft of songwriting. It makes a great point that is crystal clear and so eloquently told. AMAZINGLY GOOD Floyd!! One of my dad's favorite little fables went something like this. When I was 18, my dad knew nothing, and was completely out of it. When I was 21, I realized my dad was a pretty smart guy. I couldn't believe how much he'd learned in only 3 years! Love the song Floyd! Take care. Greg

I am a little jealous of the way you always seem to make your vocal seem to set in just the right spot in your recordings. That is a struggle I'm still having. Great job!
