Johnbee58 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 (edited) All of my life I felt that it was my responsibility to make the people closest to me happy 24/7/365. If they weren't, for whatever reason, I've felt that it was my fault and I was letting them down, even if their depression had nothing to do with me. I think my wife has finally convinced me that It's not always my fault. https://www.soundclick.com/artist/default.cfm?bandid=1058168 🙂John B Edited May 14, 2021 by Johnbee58 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Douglas Kirby Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 I thought it was a cool song - I thought the mix sounded fine to my ears. I enjoyed the lyrics - well crafted there. It sounded like you sang from the heart - nice job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynn Wilson Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 John, I caught this song the other day but didn't have time to comment. I think it's a terrific song and showcases your increasing professionalism. Please put it back up! Don't let one person's opinion discourage you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just got to thinking that this is one time I might have been baring my soul a bit too much and it was a turn off to many of these people. Since more people are asking for it to be re-posted, I'll put it back. 🙂 JB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just went and listened to it on that other site where you have it still, it's a great piece, you should be proud of this one . . . personally, I relate to this song very much . . . you've really got your heart out there, just keep it out there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then, a few hours later the first thing the very first reviewer said was that I was being "co dependent" and I thought to myself "Gee, I thought this was a music site, but apparently it's become a psychological site". So, being psychoanalyzed from the git-go I saw as a bad sign. Kinda made me feel "dirty" for being that way and writing the song for a few seconds. But after Lynn's post I began to think that, as music is self expression, I shouldn't worry about it. It's not as if I'm expressing feeling that I want to commit mass murder. It's no worse than Lennon singing "Yes, I'm lonely. Wanna Die" ("Yer Blues" The Beatles 1968). So I put it back up. Call me crazy if you want. I'm in good company. 🙂John B.

freddy j Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Thanks for putting it back up John. I think that musically this is a beautiful song and that the lyrics are honest. What in the world could be wrong with that!? I hope you keep posting your songs. Nice one!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjornpdx Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 John, I was listening to the lyrics but also to how you insert little musical phrases that enhance the mood. Not sure if I phrased that right. (See what I did there?) For example that transition at ~2.11 that leads into the next part which I thought was very well done. Nice job! -Bjorn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bajan Blue Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 John Good track, well sung - only thing I would say is that perhaps you could put a little more reverb on the vocals Otherwise cool Nigel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
