At last, after a very busy year, I managed to finish a new one from a lyric sent to me by Mike LeBlanc. The original lyric was quite light hearted but I cant do light hearted so had to re write it a little and write a bridge for contrast. I was told, after a hearing test recently that my hearing has deteriorated (mostly on the high frequencies) so I hope I have compensated for that. Some of "The Band" I only used for a few bars. Bass 1254, 4020, 1825 Synth 1278 Guitars 1681, 2201, 2444, 405, 2534 Drums Mallets Folk slow 8ths Whistle 3770 https://soundcloud.com/vic-arnold/spaghetti-western?si=70627ad945574d05866d441715cf80c5&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharingSpaghetti Western © 2023 M. LeBlanc & V. Arnold V1 I see them all,ridin' hard and me I play a part Guns blazin' through the smoke and dust Lawman, outlaw, it don't matter much V2 Wearing boots with spurs that jangle Hat pulled low. Ready to wrangle Or maybe sitting in a small cantina telling white lies, to a senorita Chorus 1 I dream of old El Paso For Tombstone or Deadwood I yearn My head for a bounty, my chest for a tin star My heart in a spaghetti western V3 i'd live by the gun and die the same imagining someday they'd carve my name like notches on the gun of bad men I killed on some headstone up on boot hill Chorus Inst. Bridge But I sit in my room in downtown chicago with my take out and six pack ... and more time to burn Watching the TV. A movie called Django Totally lost ......... Chorus 2 So take me down to Amarillo Cheyenne, Santa Fe, Abilene with my name on some bullet i ride like the wind Living the spaghetti western

Hi Vic ...
You and Mike put a great song together. The break before the verses is a real nice touch. And the change-up in the bridge is great!
I particularly like this couplet:
Or maybe sitting in a small cantina telling white lies, to a senorita
I enjoyed this a lot. Nice to hear another one from you.

Thank you Alan. The hardest part was trying to sing the title. I had to redo it a number of times. Not sure why but it just didn't trip off the tongue easily for me.

Ha, I love that --can't do light-hearted... That statement is in itself light-hearted. I know what you mean, Vic. You do these so well and you definitely have a great voice for the style. Good write, and you know how impressed I am when someone writes songs from lyrics. Man, that bridge is a great contrast. Good write!

Really nice sound Vic! That acoustic guitar lead sounds fabulous! Title really fits the content! IT's got me wanting to try some more laid-back material like this! TB

The title piqued my interest. You've got the SW sound down with band. Sounds cool. Loved the bridge. I enjoyed this!

Thank you Marty. The bridge was added by me. I felt it needed one to bring the dream down to pasta reality. Glad it worked for you.
