Keith Wilby Posted February 28, 2023 Posted February 28, 2023 (edited) I fancied doing a bit of a blues tune in 6/4 time, so I started with a working title of "Her Blues" (as in "Yer Blues"). So then it came to needing lyrics, and I'd warmed to the idea of the song being about a woman with some "blues". By the time I'd finished them I realised they were about Prince Harry's husband Meghan - someone who loves to tell you how bad her life is even though it isn't, the kind of person you'd hate to be stuck in a lift with. So the first verse (damn, that's two sentences I've started with "so") has the narrator warning someone else to avoid her by making an excuse and walking away from her, and in the second verse it's me walking away from her, and you'd better not get in my way ?

Loved that Keith, all the elements are there, very cool guitar leads (is that you playing?), a bit of Hammond thrown in, nice walking bass and killer BGVs (some of those oohs might overpower the lead vocal a hair in places, but I was listening on headphones. Great job. Andy

Great job. Andy Hi Andy, everyone knows that it's Meghan that wears the trousers ? Yes those are my fists of ham on the lead guitar. I'd play better if I knew how to use more than two fingers on the fretboard. One day perhaps. Yes I agree, the mix needs some attention and I'm on it. Thanks for the feedback ?

KSband Posted March 2, 2023 Posted March 2, 2023 You write one heck of a catchy tune Keith! I always enjoy your stuff. The backing vocals are so good. 1
DeeringAmps Posted March 7, 2023 Posted March 7, 2023 Listening on Bose cans, so take this with a grain of salt. The bass is right up front and present. The guitar solos seem a bit drowned in the reverb consequently. Enjoyed the tune. t I actually kind of liked Megan in Suits. Don’t follow the royal family, so pretty much have ignored all the drama ?…
