This turned out pretty good, except its a very cynical song. I
hosted it on soundclick cause i happened to upload there first.
There's also an R rated line in it. This is getting to be a real time
consuming hobby Maybe tomorrow i relax in the pub
a while hope ya enjoy

Well done, Tom! Very cool groove- a couple suggestions, if I may:
1) the transition from the chorus back to the verse is somewhat jarring, rhythm-wise. I think it's just a matter of stretching the chorus out one more beat
2) I think some harmony in the chorus would be great.

I think this may be your best work yet- you've come a long way in the past year! Keep it up!

Tom,
This was very good, nice clean recording and well played. +1 to the harmony in the chorus, good job.

[allthumbs]

Your vocals are improving with each tune. Congrats.

[windsong]

You picked up on that cshude, good ear! so i confess, sometimes if
i plan on a recurring rythem track, instead of playing it 10 times
how many times it repeated) i play it once and use the repeat
option. I looked for the best possible end and start here. Its only
some originals i do this, and never covers...and thanks

Thanks also fly, AT, windsong, knight and WW

btw WW, i sometimes get inspiration at the bar

Great song Tom, very well sung and played. I'm even more cynical because I don't think you HAVE to lie to survive, it's just that everybody does because it's easier ...but then you said that too!!

[starsailor]

Nice job Tom, great vocal and neat playing, nothing wrong with the cynical aspect either, the lyrics ring true, some people think that's a good way to live, describes many a Politician.

NIce one Tom,
Yes, a bit darkside on the lyric. But done well, and like AT says, continues to get better.
Fibbing can't be too bad every now and then.

[kidhaiti]

Very nice tomg, luv it when you do originals, no offense to your covers, just my personal preference.
