Description Don`t try to fight against what`s in your mind! It`s stronger than everything!

Lyrics It took a lifetime to know it`s a battle
"My life`s a mess"
It`s so hard to say
My only wish, to be a horse without a saddle
Is just a million miles away

"It took a whole lotta love"
It`s a riddle
My only friend is so hard to reach
And when we met
On the road, in the middle
The latest trick, we`ve tried to teach

The more I hate it
The more I loose a friend of mine
I can`t await it
The Sign

The only way is to climb up the ladder
Some of the rungs may be good or bad
To see the Sign
Makes your thoughts even better
You realize: Our lives are mad

Try to believe
Make up your mind
Read every word on the Sign

Guitar Solo

The more I hate it
The more I loose a friend of mine
I can`t await it
The Sign, the Sign

	said 1140 days ago
	well polished song ultra smooth harmonies. A pleasure to listen to. cheers

	perceptualvortex said 1140 days ago
	Great sound Very nice playing and singing. I dig the swinging groove in this piece, kind of hypnotic. Great job!

	Peter Greenstone said 1140 days ago
	excellent This has a flavor of Steely Dan. Those lush harmonies and that slick jazzy guitar, the whole thing is warm and vibrant. It pulls me right in. Great talent.

PUT YOUR NAME ON IT
I just downloaded this and found that none of the tags were filled out so
it comes up as an anonymous artist, nothing attributing the song to you.
I manually put the info in myself but I suspect that most people won't do
that and it will get lost in a long playlist and possibly get passed on to
other people who can never know who made the music.

I give this same basic speech whenever I find that someone has neglected
to fill out their tags.

	cool wes montgomery feel in the beginning Very nice, like the guitar work afterword. Nice singin as well. Like your James Taylor type tonality you get out of your voice. The harmonies are so lush as well. Great going! Cool percussion feel. This tune is can put a person in a nice mood grooving to the sounds.

	gitjunk said 1140 days ago
	great feel i really love the way you play and sing. there`s so much in it, it`s amazing! once again an unbelievable piece of music.

	Kulturbeutel said 1140 days ago
	wow, its artistic this is definately the best youve made here at macjams. overwhelming and wonderful. highest marks for that.

	Aaron David said 1140 days ago
	Very good... jazzy Very good mix and overall "groove". Definately has a jazzy feel to it. Very relaxing to listen to and I like the lyrics. Well done, my respect is earned.

	jiguma said 1140 days ago
	Another great post Ingo Another great post Ingo! Love the bass, love the Steely Dan guitar - you're sounding more and more like James Taylor vocally. Great harmonies, fantastic song. Have I forgotten anything? Oh yes, brilliant production. Like Peter said, make sure you put your name on your work though. Neil

	mikkinylund said 1140 days ago
	Not my type of music But sometimes I am surprised by things I hear and are open to new music I never thought I initially would like. This is one of thus moments, with this clearly very good and inspiring song. The lyrics are very good as is the vocals, wow. Everything is well performed and the mix sits very tight in my speakers and headphones. Very good work.

	Doadars Uncle said 1140 days ago
	Well done Excellent presentation. Has the feel of waiting, subtle edge or unease.

	Tadashi Togawa said 1140 days ago
	Gradual afternoon Sweet guitar. Sweet harmonics. Sound with good bass. The melody is wonderful as usual.

drakonis said 1140 days ago

nice and smooth [insert name here]
This is great smooth music, nice melody, excellent singing/harmony,
nice mixing (*very slightly* muddy, needs a tiny bit of sparkle-boost &
bass boost I think?) And because this so good, I'll reiterate Peter's
comment... with great music that you are posting for the world to find,
make sure to add those mp3 tags in the file (AND insert your music
artwork in there too!) so that when this great music wanders to other
people's iTunes, they can see who wrote it & find your URL in there!
ttfn,
Drakonis

	you just don't miss, huh? another great piece...I've been blown away by yer stuff since 3am...great singing and playing, and the production sparkles! the guitar is just wonderfully played!! deep bow, again z

	Einarus said 1140 days ago
	Schwing! Great track - so soft and smooth. Excellent performance and production. A big, fat download!

	dchapman said 1140 days ago
	Totally Professional This could be on any easy listening station anywhere. Great laid back smooth feel with nice production. [Insert Stuff Here] Myself, i would like to know a little more about how you recorded the song. You listed a little bit of your hardware.. but what about musical instruments... musicians... did you do all of this yourself... i gotta know! Again, nice piece.

	digitalnirvana9 said 1139 days ago
	Ready for Primetime Hello I.G.M. Great sound. Like Wes Montegomery and James Taylor all rolled into one!....Boy, if you can keep up the consistency in quality I see no reason not to do a CD and go on iTunes....you do it through CD Baby, ya Know. BRAVO! Peace, digitalnirvana9

	jgurner said 1139 days ago
	Awesome! Love the nice smooth guitar and the rich, sweet vocal harmonies. Wonderful!

	fairy beth said 1138 days ago
	so... ...easy on the ears! All the elements are so smooth. The guitar is fantastic - yet another person on macjams who makes me wish i was a much better guitarist. The harmonies are so spot on. Piano accompanies nicely too. Congrats on a good 'un!

	Ejh said 1138 days ago
	Excellent. It's really got that Steely Dan sound in the rhythm section and guitars, with echoes of The Section. Lead vocals have that JT tonality, and the harmonies are resonant of Crosby Nash at times, too... The songwriting itself, the lyrics especially, are your own all the way. Your songs and productions are just flat out excellent... And Peter's right. Put your name on it. Ed

	ka-klick said 1138 days ago
	Very Smoothe Kinda "Steely Dan" gets James Taylor to sing lead vox - beautiful performance and production.

	aralim said 1138 days ago
	really nice song! You've got a great singing voice, and your work on the chorus to put in the harmonies was spot on. Great job on the guitars, too! My only quibble (and it's a minor one) is that there are a few points where the vocals got a little "mushy" and I couldn't quite make out what was being said. Other than that, this was very well done!

	stevel said 1138 days ago
	This is great Great track...very polished indeed! This reminds me of the first Steely Dan album 'Can't buy a thrill' (my fave one)... the guitar work and vocals are excellent. Well done! Steve

	broadside said 1138 days ago
	although this is a bit out of my field of "expertise" i rate the production values, the harmonies and also i thought the lead guitar if thats what you call it, was very chill and nicely done. the onlly detraction, was somehow the chorus about the sign could be made to be more memorable, bbrought out a it by bringing in a different instrument or something to make it stand out

	Mickeymoo said 1136 days ago
	nice work Good flowing song. It fits in all ways. Excellent to hear the keys having a go too. Great solo guitar to complement the feel of the song.

	drumgodvirtuoso said 1135 days ago
	sounds good good eighties feel. I feel like singing along with. definitely grabs atttention. thanks for the listening pleasure!

	rik said 1135 days ago
	Well... It's not my type of music, but what you've done is excellent under all aspects. My deep admiration...

	said 1135 days ago
	Balancing act... Not only physically, but musically as well. Very nice "venture" into the "Other". Maybe "New Age" or even "Rock" as a genre for this? James Taylor stylish, yet unique in it's own sense. Great production and performances... musically and vocally.

	TEXASFEEL said 1134 days ago
	Very clean and refreshing thanks for sharing this. It's easy on the ears and nice to take in.

	EdensEve said 1121 days ago
	JT meets John Mayer Two of my favorites, and you keep sharing tunes that are just as good. Not only good in writing, but as professionally done as anything anywhere. You are really good. Thank you for sharing your music for free, we are very lucky!

	marcel474 said 1064 days ago
	Ya Baby! Hmm... Great vocals and harmonies, Smooth guitar and keys, Just the right bassline and slinky drums. I'm not even worthy to comment on your stuff... lol. Very impressive. Cheers... Marcel.

Steely Dan man...
This is one of the best... maybe the best song I have listened to on
MJ in the two years I have been here. Perfect, cool. The level of
your performance, the artistic arrangement, the production, and the
absolutely out of sight guitar and vocals. It is really a pleasure to
listen to this song.
Yeah, Fagen and Becker... make a little room for this guy up there on
the stage. He deserves it.

So very, very cool.
