And a key change as well - what's not to like 🙂 

Great tune and I agree about the rhyming of 'guy and' with 'tryin' - as Tom observes - very clever indeed.

Andy

Thanks so much Andy

You do very good pop songs. I'm wondering if I hear some overall distortion on this, are the levels too high or am I?

Thanks KS. It's a misspent youth. 

There is a ton of distortion and nastiness everywhere on this one but I don't believe there's any clipping. 

Excellent Mark

Hi folks

This one is out and out punk pop fun - Ed and me threw it together in a couple of days all told. Had a lot of fun with this one

The current Mrs Daryl1968 makes a brief appearance on this one

Lyrics below link

Nits and crits welcome

No Imagination
Written and performed by Ed Kocol and Daryl Greenway
With backing vocals by Liz Greenway
Verse 1:
Always been a simple man
Doing right, the best I can
Eat, sleep, work. Well, that's the plan
Never gone beyond a white work van
Prech
Fancy cars are not my style
I'll never walk the miracle mile
I've aways been a simple guy and
I guess that's why that I've stopped tryin
Chorus:
No imagination
Happy with my station
All I wanna do
Is share my love with you
It's been my foundation
no imagination
All I wanna do
Is share my love with you
Verse 2
Always been a simple soul,
Day by day I play my role.
From dawn to dusk, I toil and strive,
In that white van I come alive.
Prech
Chorus
Bridge:
I don't have to think at all
Never been against the wall
My world changed because of you
I'm gonna see this through with you, with you
Chorus

Hi Guys

Really like this and enjoyed the listen very much. Agree with Wookie re the bass being perhaps and only just of course, a little forward in the mix😎

Apart from that, thought this was great

Cheers

Nigel

 

 

Thanks so much Nigel - this has been fixed (a bit like my dog)

Good job guys!  Nice of you to pull Daryk back into the forum too. 😁

I can imagine the picture of the "band" that goes with this song having Ed wearing a t-shirt that says "More of ME in the mix!" 🤣

Lol. Hope you are well mate

I want to thank Daryl and Ed for asking me to join this project!  When you have a song this good, it's easier to find inspiration.

You did a great job on this Lynn

Good song, nice work guys!

Thanks so much KS

This is lovely Barry. Well recorded and performed 

This is great Ross. Very nicely done. 

SoundCloud link updated with a new, drummyer mix. (Drummyer? Drumly? Drumful?)

Cheers Wookster for the 'interesting' review of my vox 

Edited

Nice guitar work Lynn, interesting Vox Daryl, nice drumming Hugo.  Nice bass Ed, though I found it a little to forward when Daryl was singing, just my two Triganic Pu's worth.

As always reasonable production.

Cheers Wookster for the 'interesting' review

Excellent Bats. Great attitude 

Lovely again. 

Great stuff KS.

Stellar playing as always 

This is great Leadfoot!

They don't make em like this any more

brilliant Nigel - well deserved mate

needs a DJ remix

Great choice of sounds as always Wookster

lovely Gary. I haven't heard this for years - a great song.

Sonically I thought it comes across well - I'll admit I'm listening on laptop speakers

new mix just posted - bass volume reduced and a couple of things tidied up

Lyrics below link

Life Alert
Written by Ed Kocol and Daryl Greenway
featuring Lynn Wilson on Guitar and Hugo Ribeiro on Drums
V1
I'm tired and worn
I've been through the storm
But I still have hope
That one day I'll cope
I'm tired and worn
I've been hurt and torn
But I still have faith
That one day I'll be safe
Prech
You need to press the button, don't you wait
Help is on the way, don't hesitate
From the depths of despair you'll rise
A life alert shining in your eyes
Chorus
I'm on life alert
Waiting to be reborn
I Need a new start
I'm tired and worn
V2
I'm tired and worn
I've been lost and forlorn
But I still have love
And one day I'll rise above
Prech
Chorus

Daryl , That was a Fantastic clean production. I for sure got some Steely Dan impressions. I Loved the low harmonies you laid under the main vox and the main was smoooth.  I liked the synth work especially that change at the outro.   Enjoyed it ..   mark

Thanks so much Mark

This really captures the retro sound of the post New Wave era.  The mix is perfect as is the instrumentation.  Interesting lyrics and your vocals are outstanding!

Excellent stuff!

Thanks Freddy!

As mentioned by many above you’ve nailed the eta. Fine bit of songwriting. 
One thing I would do; drop the “I” on “I expected the worst”. It makes you “rush” the line (IMHO). 
👍s 👏

t

has everyone liked and commented at SC? Yeah, have you? WTF, show a little love 💕 

Thanks Tom. You're very kind

Nice one Freddy. Another fan of the backing vocals here
