Description Here, then, is some blues, based on Feter's original track. Thanks to Feter for providing the soundbed, the inspiration, and the whole concept of the House of Blues. Feter, you give so much of your time, your talent, and your self to this place (and to all of us who are part of this place), and you deserve deep bows and appreciation. Hope you enjoy this, and sorry it took so long! Peace.

Lyrics I’m Gonna Lose This Game Again

You put me through the mill
You left me up the creek
You dragged my name right through the mud now
You left me good as dead
You turned my sunny day to blue

I don’t know how or when
But I’m going to lose this game again

I curse the day we met
I want you more than that
I hope you disappear, but baby, please come back
You’ve got to go away before I end up on my knees

Here comes the bitter end
And I’m going to lose this game again

You stole my everything
And what you didn’t need you broke and tossed away
You’ve got the angel lips
But the Devil sings
In every word you say

It’s too late to pretend
And I’m going to lose this game again

I’m going to set you straight
I’m going to put my foot right down
Show you the door
I’ve had it up to here
I haven’t got no room for more

I don’t know how or when
But here comes the bitter end
It’s too late to pretend
And I’m going to lose this game again

dajama said 235 days ago

Thanks, man
Glad you like all the messing around I did with your original track. The speeding up came about because I was working on the song away from the computer for a couple of weeks, and when I sat down and listened to your track again, I realized that I had speeded the whole track up in my head. When I sang more slowly to match the original tempo, some of the lines sounded a bit strained, so I went for the all out approach and this is what happened! Happy you enjoyed this one, my friend, and once again, thanks for original idea. It was fun. Cheers, dude. Peace.

	Great additions to Feter's original track David - Love the guitar work and your vocals sound very solid, smooth and flowing. I'm not a big fan of blues but I am really impressed with the work you've done on this. Good stuff. Peter

dajama said 235 days ago

Thanks, Peter
Thanks for the nice words about the vocals. Blues is not really my genre, either. That was one of the reasons I enjoyed the challenge so much. It took me out of my comfort zone a bit and pushed me to do something different. My wife was really surprised when she heard me working on this! In a way, this took me back to my early days playing guitar. I used to play blues riffs (including the one I'm playing in this song!) for hours. It was good to revive those musical muscles a little! Thanks again for stopping by. Glad you enjoyed it. Cheers. Peace.

	Great blues singing.... seems you found a new vibrato LOL. This is a great version with excellent lyrics and guitar and as I said, so well sung, cheers M

	Whoa... deep in the roadhouse blues! Nicely done, Dave. This moves and grooves. Love your vocals... great stuff... and that guitar lead... yassir! D

	lavalamp said 235 days ago
	This was great Entertaining! At the end of the day, this is what it's all about. Great job, Dave

	dajama said 235 days ago
	Yep This is (hopefully!) one of those tracks that makes you tap your foot, and hopefully grin at the over the top lyrics! I had a blast doing this, and I'm glad you enjoyed listening to it. By the way, your latest is excellent. I've been singing "I don't see the light" over and over ever since I listened to it! Nice one. Thanks for stopping by. I appreciate it. Cheers. Peace.

	echoroom said 235 days ago

Jarvoid said 233 days ago

Yo ,Hi Five
Slap me some skin what a rocked out version of Feters track this has been turned into..and the production~woohoo, that is my achilles heel.Rocked and Bluesed out.....I'm burbling now, but this just goes to show how versatile the blues are and a poke in the eye(or ear)of those who say the blues are:
a) boring
b)all the same
c)easy cos they're only three chords

They,the blues that is, may have a simplistic structural foundation ,but there is no limit to what you can build on that foundation .Hats off to you sir.

	Cool vox David Vocals sound a bit like early Clapton (Cream era) - guitar sounds great, but I won't embarass you by making the same comparison :) Nice blues, nice driving/rolling rhythm. Cool take on Feter's original. Neil

	Ejh said 232 days ago
	I haven't followed the blues challenge... ...and I don't know what the starting point is... But I really enjoy the wit in this, I love the electric guitar playing, and I like the sparing use of the backing vocals... A lot of fun... Brings something neat to the blues lyric conventions... Ed

	bonnieprincejohnny said 231 days ago
	Fine. Fine blues ,good delivery and lyric - it's too late to pretend - yes... I hear you.

	guitapick said 231 days ago
	Yeah... ...just can't seem to win, sometimes...good down home blues, here, dave...I can relate to the message.

	tokai said 227 days ago
	Nicely done Man.. Guitar is so good and played really well with proper blues ears.

	dajama said 235 days ago
	New vibrato! I love that! I think I'm losing parts of my voice rather than finding them actually! Glad you liked it though, and thanks for your kind words about the singing. This was a lot of fun to work on. Feter really knows how to start things moving, doesn't he? Just been listening to your new version of your first post - very cool. Here's to another year! Thanks, my friend. Peace.

	dajama said 234 days ago
	I presume you mean Elvis Costello? Thanks for stopping by, man. Glad you dig the vocals. Yes, I can imagine it's weird, but weird in a good way, right? Right? Steve, where are you going...? Hee hee. Thanks again, dude. Peace.

	dajama said 234 days ago
	Thanks, my friend Glad you liked this one. It was a pleasure to work with Feter's music. Thanks for the nice words about the guitars. That slightly screechy, kind of iffy solo was the 45th take, I think! At least I'm persistent! Thanks again for stopping by and listening. I appreciate it. Cheers. Peace.

	dajama said 234 days ago
	Hee hee Thanks man! That's what it's trying to be, and I'm delighted you think it works. Cheers. Peace.

	dajama said 234 days ago
	Thanks, Len Glad you liked it, and happy it got under your skin! Thanks for listening. Much appreciated. Cheers. Peace.

	dajama said 234 days ago
	Thanks, Roxy Yeah, I thought what could be more blue than wanting what you shouldn't have? Mix that with a little doomed inevitability, and you've got instant misery! Thanks for listening. Glad you enjoyed this. Cheers. Peace.

	dajama said 234 days ago
	Thanks, man Dancing in your mind? Yes! My work here is done! Glad you enjoyed it. If it makes you move, then it's doing what it should. Thanks for stopping by and listening. I appreciate it. Cheers. Peace.

	dajama said 233 days ago
	Thank you kindly Delighted it got you going, and thanks for the comment on the singing. Not sure how bluesy it sounds, but it's what I got! As for the guitar, thank you. Honestly, I'm still not really happy with the lead, but then again, I never am! Glad you stopped by. Cheers. Peace.

	dajama said 233 days ago
	Thanks, man Glad you liked it. Yeah, I ended up with something a bit faster than Feter's original, but speeding it up worked pretty well, I think, and then I liked the contrast between the acoustic sound and the rest of the instruments. I experimented with adding effects to Feter's track, but it just sounded weird! Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for listening. Cheers. Peace.

	dajama said 232 days ago
	Thanks Neil and what a cool comparison! Glad you like the rhythm - I really wanted that driving boogie feel, and it's fun to play that bassline (apart from the callous on my thumb!) Thanks for listening, my friend. Glad you enjoyed this one. Cheers. Peace.

	Good to hear from you. Glad you enjoyed this one. Loved your latest, by the way. Lyrically at least, that song also had a blues vibe! Thanks for stopping by. Much appreciated. Cheers. Peace.

	dajama said 231 days ago
	Thanks, man Glad you could relate, or maybe that should be sorry you can relate! Thanks for stopping by to listen. Glad you liked it. Cheers. Peace.

	dajama said 224 days ago
	Thank you, my friend Glad you liked it, and thank you for the nice words about the guitar. It's a struggle for me to play lead (or at least listenable lead!) so I'm happy you think this works. Cheers. Peace.
