Actually Dog I have to give you some big songwriting credits. I know I've posted this before, you have some cool songs.
Hey that blues song has a cool lyrical twist. I may just play it with my garage band tomorrow night, then you can sue me for ,,,,,what ever.(It will be completely different from what you have up but it will still be your song.)
Hey Glen, Much thanks for the kind words...and please be My guest and have at it...I'd be honored actually...
Now, a lil secret about that song... It aint really about a girl.. Its actually about cigarettes and me quitting smoking... The damn things literally about killed me a few years ago... I had to quit..or die...it was that simple.
I didn't want the song to sound like some sort of campaign,,, (You know what they say... ex smokers are the worst) so I use the 'She don't love me anymore" metaphor instead of saying something like "The bitch tried to kill me... " hahaha! Although , in hindsight that may not have not been so bad
