i used to fly so high,
but i've fallen like a stone,
i used to fly so high,
but i've fallen like a stone,
what did i do,
that laid me so low,
what did i do,
that laid me so low.
it hurts so bad,
it hurts so bad,
why won't you just,
let me go,
now i know,
how it feels,
to be struck so low,
struck so low.
i used to fly,
so high,
in the ol blue sky,
now i'm struck so low.
they won't look at me,
why won't they look at me,
please,
please set me free,
this broken body,
and this soul needs to fly.
if only i,
had seen,
what laid me low.
i fell like a stone,
i fell like a stone,
i fell like a stone,
ahhhh,
all alone.

Simple but powerful Blues lyrics and riff, it would be very effective if the first verse was played quietly as it is, then....Pow ! ...heavy Blues mayhem! This is a great song and it needs to fly...! good work Grease (-:
Also; Bones, it'll be okay man!
And Clock? where does that Stout come from? i got a buddy that would probably love to try it! lol.
thanks for taking the time to listen and for the advice folks!
Oily,
i've always been more of a fan of the "idea" of singing than actually singing. i have some buddy's i used to jam with regularly, and they are fantastic singers, so i was always extremely happy to let them do it. i didn't realize how quiet the audio was on this, i run my computer through my tv, and have a half decent sound system... so my bad on that. the booze is kind part fuel part lube. it wouldn't occur to me to sing with out and, and i need a little extra to even consider trying. i have noticed tho, i loose the small bit of range i have if i take that "double shot over the line". hah, yeah anyone that's played hockey with me or some who managed to piss me off can tell you i'll holler like a bull horn.
i'm very pleased you liked the git and my playing, means a lot thanks man.
yes, i've tired to record myself singing with and without music. not a fan of my voice (people tell me that normal tho.). not much for singing in the shower, and i suppose i sing the odd time on the highway. if i'm in traffic, normally i've got Slayer, or one of my many favourite metal bands cranked. i've noticed people tend to avoid eye contact for some reason. heh. i have over the years tried a bit of singing here and there and recorded myself. to be honest the difference between what i though i sounded like, and what i sound like jumped out fast! hah. i've noticed as well i tend to do better with a speaking(?) style, so when someone does convince me to sing at a party i'll sing a lot of john prine songs, or the like.
i'll certainly consider the advice tho. perhaps with some practice i may find a range yet. to re-enforce you last point two of my favourite singer off the top of my head are Townes and Lemmy. hah. and again, thank you very much for taking the time to respond. this is one thing i love about the nation, everyone is willing to help!
Cool song ! I think the volume on your vocals is fine . Suits the song . My only advice is give us another song !!!
nice tune, think ill go kill myself now--------ha!
those lyrics sound so familiar! nice playing , and singing !!!
Back again Stains. That guitar pattern was stuck in my head. Good stuff.
Stains, that is a good song, good lyrics and nice playing.
You asked for suggestions, so here is mine. You sang it well, but too softly. Get your yeah yeahs out and project it. Use the diaphragm muscles and sing out. That can take this from good to excellent. You don't want to scream it - just out volume the git.
Good on you, bro.
