Hi everyone,

I thought it was summertime and more quiet on the music making front. Holidays...
But that was a mistake. The amount of new songs is breathtaking. And they are good!
Now I added my song as well, and hopefully also good: https://soundcloud.com/user-296497130/confusing

It's called Confusing. A light song with some winks in the lyrics.
I wasn't sure if I had to sing it in C minor or E minor. I did both, but finally chose the latter.

The style is called Mumblin. The tempo is 95, key E minor.
I changed nearly all instruments, but the main one is the bariton guitar. I also have a fiddle in it and I used my keyboard for an extra rhythm section. And my wife sang along. (no, joke. It's me with some semitones). I hope you will enjoy it and don't mind my sense of humor.

Confusing
(c)HWBerkhout, july 070719

I had a romance, that ended one day
This kind of stories you hear everyday
But mine was painful, I got confused
I had love to offer, still hardly used

I told my story everywhere I go
Even a friend now don't wanna know
So wrote a book to expose you'd lied
But my expectations were outsized

Why can't I behave as normal as you?
Could you give me a clue?
And no shrink can't help me much
They all sounded Double Dutch

I started painting something undefined
What I hoped for was peace of mind
It did not work though, got more confused
And my love is still hardly used

Why can't I behave as normal as you?
Could you give me a clue?
And no shrink can't help me much
They all sounded Double Dutch

Solo

Now I am lonely and very confused
What I can offer is still hardly used
I can try to discover
how to find me a new lover

Why can't I behave as normal as you?
Could you give me that clue?
And no shrink can't help me much
They all sounded Double Dutch

I've decided to find me someone, looking just like you
Maybe it's confusing, but I am self assured
Have love to give and so much more
to go for, I'm pretty sure
