bjornpdx Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 (edited) More Like Me The solution to relationship problems is this: You should be more like me. I posted this on the old forum some time ago. Thought I'd try for a better vocal track and this is about as good as it gets. Thanks for listening/commenting. ----------------------------------------------------- Everything about you is so organized Everything around you is alphabetized You know I love you, I love you dearly But why can't you be more like me? I'm always running a little bit late My slacker attitude I celebrate The clutter competition - I win the prize Living with me you gotta compromise You can hear a faucet drip a mile away You can see a spider web behind the stairway Disasters and catastrophies are what you're watching for I don't ever notice the cat puke on the floor You're the prettiest woman I know you know I'm such a lucky man Yes this I know But life would be perfect now don't you see If only you could be more like me When I get home just want to unwind You want to know what's really on my mind To read between the lines is never my intent Whatever I said is just what I meant Bills come around they can wait a bit Don't worry so much, you can let 'em sit The house could use some work I admit Meanwhile how about we fool around a bit? Don't adjust the thermostat Temperature is fine just where it's at Do we really need to drive to the mall The day is going great doing nothing at all You're the prettiest woman I know you know I'm such a lucky man Yes this I know But life would be perfect now don't you see If only you could be more like me Edited June 24, 2021 by bjornpdx correction 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyB01 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Lovely lyrical craft there Bjorn - sooo many truths in there. ? I thought the vocal delivery sat well with the lyric, although I detected a tiny drop of mouth noise - was the mic close? I've found RX8 to be a good post fix for this, as I'm one of the worst offenders when I try to sing. Mrs AndyB01 woke me at 4:30am the other day to tell me she could hear the low battery indicator bleeping on the smoke alarm. Oddly enough, she didn't seem to appreciate my suggestion that she could have just changed the battery without waking me. ? Great job, thanks for sharing.

bjornpdx Posted June 25, 2021 Author Share Posted June 25, 2021 Jack, thanks for comment. Yeah, probably too much reverb, I agree. Andy, thanks for the comment. You're right, I should have used RX8 (which I have) but didn't do so here. I like your smoke alarm story. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Douglas Kirby Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 I really enjoyed your lyrics on this one Bjorn - that was quite funny - nicely done. You kind of make me think of Leonard Cohen - you have his poetic talent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynn Wilson Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 You write some of the wittiest lyrics around. I like your vocal in this and the reverb is just fine, imo. I wish that I was half as prolific as you, my friend! Keep 'em coming! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhythm guitar is RealGuitar using one of its patterns. Lead guitar is Indiginus Renegade. Lynn, Thanks again for your kind words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
