Kevin Walsh Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 (edited) Here's a new one I'm working on. It's a work in progress in that I'm considering adding another verse and a proper bridge but for now, it's under 4 minutes and I want to see if it stands on its own without them. As always, your comments are deeply appreciated! i got problems verse 1 she said forty one was her number she wouldn't settle for anything less and if i don't like the way she done things here, there's gonna be a hell of a mess there were thirteen stones in my pocket and some cigarettes in my shoes with a fine tooth comb and some dental floss my entire fortune to lose chorus yeah ive got problems I've got problems whoa whoa. yeah ive got problems I've got problems whoa whoa. verse 2 she called a certain number on her ruby red telephone she told her boys to gather up their toys and she took my fine tooth comb i got thirteen bones in my pocket a cigarette in my shoe trouble here and trouble there i aint got nothin to lose chorus oh ive got problems baby jesus i got issues cant you see that i can't be held responsible i got some strange disease yeah ive got problems I've got problems whoa whoa.

I've contemplated that one, because like "Cold Turkey" and "I'm Losing You," it's heavily based around a really cool guitar riff. I hope you do it!

steve@baselines.com Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 Cool guitar tones and I like the snare. I'm a fan of 4 minutes or under in most cases. It sounds great - if you put any more into it, I would build up the lyrical ideas. I'm missing what's really going on in the story, but maybe that's just me.

I guess the song means whatever the listener thinks it means. I like the way they sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sort of had in mind a guy who got himself in debt to an unsavory bunch of folks, leaving him under threat and left with nothing but the ability to whine about it. Thanks for your good advice and thanks for listening, steve! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Story aside, I tend to assemble words that sound good together to me and that focus on serving the melody and the mood rather than telling a cohesive story.
