The Hard Way A little rock song of regret & lessons learned. Leon vocal & lyric I sang a bit and played the guitars. The Band: RealTracks in style: ~684:Bass, Electric, PopHalfNotesSync Ev 120 RealTracks in style: 2719:Guitar, Nylon, Fingerpicking CountryBrent Ev 120 RealTracks in style: ~405:Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Ev 120 RealDrums in style: NashvilleEven8^5-a:Snare, HiHat , b:Snare, Ride The Hard WayDon’t be too hard on yourself Everybody stumbles now and then She might forgive you given time Maybe even take you back again Some things you have to learn the hard way No amount of well-meaning advice Is as convincing as the lesson Learned when she walks out of your life I’m not gonna say I told you so That you’ve got no one else to blame Cause I know the way it’s gonna feel Every time somebody says her name I’ve walked inside your shoes I know the meaning of regret Like you will, I understand the blues I know how low you’re gonna get Don’t be too hard on yourself Nobody always gets it right We’ve all been down the road you’re on We’ve felt like you will feel tonight You won’t find answers in that bottle Drunk or sober she will still be gone You’ve got to pull yourself together Dry your tears and try to carry on I’m not gonna say I told you so That you’ve got no one else to blame Cause I know the way it’s gonna feel Every time somebody says her name I’ve walked inside your shoes I know the meaning of regret Like you will, I understand the blues I know how low you’re gonna get

Peter,
I really enjoyed this. It has a very cool Al Stewart "Year Of The Cat" vibe. Good mix on the vocals and tracks as well.
Excellent!
Bob

Peter/Leon,
Terrific energy to this. Quite Knopfler-esque - the cadence of the lyric, the rhythm of the backing and (especially) the leads (love those leads!)... A very solid sound (good mix of the instruments for a cohesive sound)
Really enjoyed the listen (several, actually).

Hi Peter.
What a great song!
Super backing and vocal, but what made it for me was the lead guitar work.
I can see where Floyd is coming from with "Knopfler-esque", but for me that guitar had the feel of
Hendrix, both the sound and the playing. I'm thinking "Hey Joe" or "All Along the watchtower".
Fabulous stuff and definitely one of your best to date.
ROG.

Man, does this ever grab you from the get-go! Yet another fine production from a very fine team. And regarding the lyric..."ain't it the truth!" And Peter, you well know how much we love those soaring leads. We can see Clapton bending back and raising a foot  This is one you don't need to say a lot about...just listen again and enjoy... Great collab you two! J&B

This had me rocking right from the intro.
(You won’t find answers in that bottle
Drunk or sober she will still be gone
You’ve got to pull yourself together
Dry your tears and try to carry on)
Great lyrics and upbeat tune.
Love it. Rob

What a tune! Within about 2 seconds I knew I was going to be enjoying this - it’s got an addictive groove with a great riff, right from the get go. This whole tune just sound very well written, and professionally arranged. I wouldn’t bat an eyelash hearing this on the radio alongside the classics. Thanks so much for sharing, Peter
Cheers,
Deryk

Peter,
Plus 1 to the kudos here - this has an irrisistable drive (I can hear the influences, but fogot them as soon as you start playing those fills!).
Strong lyrics and vocal too...one of your best.
Robert
