daryl1968 419 Posted February 4, 2020 (edited) Hi fabulous forum folks Here's a song written by Patty Lakamp and myself with some great guitar by James Griffiths. Nits and crits welcome. Lyrics below link TMI Written by Staypress and Patty Lakamp © Copyright 2020 Featuring james Griffiths on guitar V1 Why do people tell me All their private stuff? I’ve really had enough You had an operation? You know I’ll be discreet But I don’t need specifics When I’m trying to eat PreChorus No…Don’t say it Cuz I I Can’t take it Chorus Too much information Coming at my head Awkward situation Shoulda stayed in bed Too much information Why you over-share? Too much information Cuz I don’t care V2 You’re trying to fix your love life ...and I can understand But please don’t tell me Everything you’ve planned Glad you found a girlfriend Who’s really into you But spare me the detailed Post-game review PreChorus I never Tell you All the things I do Chorus Middle bit TMI TMI If you want to get personal, I’m not your guy TMI TMI If you think I’m kidding, look me in the eye PreChorus Believe it I mean it So keep it To yourself Chorus to end Edited February 4, 2020 by daryl1968 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
garybrun 633 Posted February 4, 2020 I liked it. Reminded me of the group sound "Madness" Is it meant to sound low_bit? 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bjornpdx 768 Posted February 4, 2020 Daryl "don't need specifics/when i'm trying to eat" I laughed out loud on that one. Good song. I liked it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Johnbee58 287 Posted February 5, 2020 I can relate. I know a few people who love to throw all the gross details in my face. Where did you get those synth sounds? Are they in CbB or did you buy them? Great tune. 😀John B 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SPAK 143 Posted February 5, 2020 How do you do it? Great song mate ... it has a serious message surrounded in humour .. might use it as a ring tone next time someone tell me about there woes ... "Oh I'll just answer this .. sorry"😒 Steve 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Douglas Kirby 636 Posted February 7, 2020 I really thought this was a fun song - to me it had an 80's vibe - a bit new wave. Your vocal on this made me think of Herman and the Hermits. I enjoyed the lyrics and the mix sounded quite nice to my ears. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhonoBrainer 1,375 Posted February 11, 2020 So it's not about jaw pain? Massively creative mix. Unconventional, angular chords and lyrics that slide around, start and stop, quite nicely. The mixing curveballs on the vocals kept it all flowing. I'd say it evokes a certain Wang Chung vibe in spots. As in, "What the hell ever happened to Wang Chung?!?" That Wang Chung. Thanks for the peppy number and the mix was a treat for the ears. My only crit might be the ending, which just cuts off more or less, but hey it knida works. I was expecting a bit more somethingerother on the end there. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Paul Bush 192 Posted February 11, 2020 Hi yep ,I loved the intro guitar riff it just set up the whole tone for the song, and the vocals (Ray Davies)were also good just the whole feel from the song ..nice one 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
