Description A song that started out gloomy and turned into this. Don't look at me - I just work here...

Lyrics Soul Free Miracle

I could be the only one
Who really knows you truly
Every scar you try to cover
Every old mistaken lover

But how do you deserve to fall
When everyone around you
Tricks and talks and drowns in sorrow
Burning like there’s no tomorrow
Still we all end up alive and alone

And I can taste your maniac tears
Yeah I can hear the music stuck in your head
You’ve gone and wasted all of those years
Waiting for a decontaminated soul free miracle song

You could be the only one
Who truly knows this feeling
Park the car and hold position
Crying for the world you’re missing

But why do I get up at all
When everyone around me
Slumbers in their own delusion
Battered by their own confusion
Still we all end up alive and alone

Hit the road and sail the seven seas
I don’t know how the world could ever be
Stranger than here

I could be the only one
Who truly knows this feeling
Park the car and hold position
Singing for the life I’m missing

	Way cool song David It's got an unusual meter to it, but somehow you make it really work good. Great vocal and lyrics my friend and the back track are very cool. Love what you've done here especially the mix which is right on the mark. Love it in spite of myself, it's a great song David. Ed

dajama said 177 days ago

Thanks, Ed
I'm very happy you liked this one. Lyrically, it's a bit obtuse, so I'm glad you enjoyed the words, and I'm delighted the mix works for you, because it was hard to get it to sound anything like the way I wanted it to! Thank you so much for stopping by and listening. Greatly appreciated. By the way, love the funk on your latest, and looking forward to the next stage in its evolution. Cheers. Peace.

	Lovely sound David! I really like this - great production, playing and writing. Your vocals continue to improve, as does your writing. My only suggestion is that the hihats seem to be panned a little too far left to my taste - in fact the whole kit could possibly be centred just a tad. A personal preference only. Nice words too. Bravo! Neil

	jiguma said 178 days ago
	btw I really like the actual kit track - problem is just with the panning - the drums sound really good otherwise. N

dajama said 177 days ago

Thanks, Neil
Thanks for stopping by and checking this one out. Glad you liked it, and I really appreciate your comments on the writing and vocals. This one took a while to get the sound right (or as close to right as I ever get!) and I'm glad you think it worked. As for the panning on the drums, I'm not sure what I can do about that - there are two drum tracks, and both are centered at 0. I wonder if maybe it's an element of the original loop? I'll listen more and see if there's something I can figure out. Thanks as always for your careful listening. Much appreciated. Cheers. Peace.

	jiguma said 177 days ago
	panning yes David, probably is part of the original loop - I have to say that you've managed those loops really well. Sounds like it could be good midi drums. Impressed! Neil

	Soul Free Miracle I like the unusualness of this a lot. Your lyrics and vocals are really good. Wish I could mix like this!

	Excellent! Great song, I've always loved your production.. always top notch work. Excellent post, fine vocals! Take Care - Yeman A. Al-Rawi

	asconejar said 177 days ago
	nami indeed a very good mix, every single instrument can be heard and appreciated, the bass ang guitar simple dance together, very impressive, mate.

	Moviz said 177 days ago
	I always like your music and your vocals are so nice and fresh sounding. Great lyrics, though as Sloparts says it's an unusual meter..... still very enjoyable, Great sounds, mix and production, regards M

	lavalamp said 177 days ago
	Especially cool Kind of a country feel to it, too. With a sort of Beatles charm. Outstandingly written song. You are a very good songwriter, do you know that? LL

dajama said 177 days ago

Thanks, man
Beatles charm? Thanks for making my night, man! Actually, make that my week! Glad you liked it, dude. Country feel, eh? Never thought of that, but I hear it now you mention it. Honestly, I never know what I'm coming up with until it's finished. If I tried to write a country song, it would probably sound like The Velvet Underground or something. That's why I shy away from some of the challenges; I don't have the chops to achieve a "sound" as such (having said that, I am working on something for the Live Aid challenge - it'll probably sound like Elbow or something...!) So I'm always fascinated when people tell me what they hear in anything I do, especially when it's from a terrific songwriter like yourself! Thanks for listening, dude. Much appreciated as always. Cheers. Peace.

	lavalamp said 176 days ago
	Same here When I try to write a country song, something like the Velvet Underground comes out, too. Although, I'm not much of a fan of country, I do like some of it, especially the older stuff. Great song, once again. Dave

	Vic Holman said 177 days ago
	excellent tune has a nice simplicity groove that flows. Quality throughout and radio friendly. I think you have really got your vocals down, because they are sounding great. A nice flavor of George Harrison style with this as well.

	lengold said 177 days ago
	David, this sounds like a totally pro production to me. A really lovely song, lyrics and great performance - spot on. Cheers Len

Maniac Tears
What great lyrics, David. I think everyone probably knows the feeling of singing or crying for the life they're missing at some point or another. The lines "Yeah I can hear the music stuck in your head/You've gone and wasted all of those years/Waiting for a decontaminated soul free miracle song" really hit home for me, tremendously. It's my own personal schtuff, but what you wrote really spoke to me.

People have mentioned George Harrison. There's something that reminds me of Buddy Holly, too, although I can't put my finger on exactly what. I also think you get such a nice warm sound out of your mixes. I really enjoyed this one and have downloaded it to enjoy again.

Lisa

dajama said 177 days ago

Thanks, Lisa
I think I can safely say there is no higher praise you can give a song (at least one of my songs!) than to say it made sense to you on some level. If it speaks to you, then that is immensely encouraging. I'm very happy you connected with this one, and delighted you liked the mix. Warmth was one of the things I was aiming for; in earlier mixes, however, the warmth ended up sounding a bit thick and sludgy (I believe that's the technical term...) so it took a while to get here. Glad you think it works. Buddy Holly, eh? Now that's what I'm talking about! Thanks again, Lisa. Peace.

	guitapick said 177 days ago
	Cool mix... ...of Buddy Holly, Roy Orbison, Elvis, and dajama... Original and refreshing. I agree with sloparts comments, too...

	mowguy3 said 176 days ago
	Soul Free Miracle Your lyrics blow me away, I read then listen,again and again, and still I wonder. Great tune, Great Mix. Thanks,Russ

	Godchaser said 175 days ago
	Very solid post David Really like the overall vibe and delivery here and especially your strong lyrical and vocal work on this track.fantastic!Very much enjoyed this piece on all fronts. Blessings,

	VicDiesel said 175 days ago
	Maniac tears, eh? Very nice sounding mix. Cool stuff.

Ejh said 174 days ago

Sounds like you borrowed...
...one of Vic's pedals for that solo...

I continue to love your feel for both melody and lyric writing. You're also doing some very tight vocal doubling in here...

I'm also conscious of the nice tight blend of the bass and drums and acoustic guitar(s). You get a really nice, even, subtle acoustic rhythm guitar part here, and elsewhere...

Love that title...'Soul Free Miracle'...

Ed

	davisamerica said 172 days ago
	wow david this is great and i am trying to put my finger on who it reminds me of ... distantly maybe roy orbison in a way ... but really just a very strong and great track from you .... a very huge fan of you I am!

	rsorensen said 170 days ago

	Char said 158 days ago
	Soul free miracle song: Thanks to you, we don't have to wait.:) Really great lyrics and I love your singing of them. Thanks, so much.

	dajama said 177 days ago
	Thanks, Karen I'm very glad you enjoyed it. Happy to hear it's likable unusualness! And thank you very much for your nice words about the vocals and production. I think mixing and mastering is often a bit of a guessing game for me, and I'm always delighted (and not a little surprised!) when someone finds the sounds I make palatable. Thanks again. Much appreciated. Cheers. Peace.

	dajama said 177 days ago
	Thanks, Feter Glad you enjoyed this. Thank you especially for the nice words about the singing - I'll take "thoughtful" any day as a comment on my singing! Glad you liked the guitar, too. Glad you stopped by. Your support and encouragement is much appreciated as always. Cheers. Peace.

	dajama said 177 days ago
	You're too kind, Peter But I'm very happy you like this. Glad you think the singing and guitar works, and thank you for your comment on the production. Thanks for stopping by. Your keen ear is much appreciated! Cheers. Peace.

	dajama said 177 days ago
	Thank you, my friend I'm very glad you liked this one, and thank you for the nice words about the production. I appreciate your encouragement. Cheers. Peace.

	dajama said 177 days ago
	Thanks, Maurice I'm really glad you enjoyed this one. I'm very appreciative of your continuing support and your always encouraging words. I guess I hadn't realized this had an unusual meter (shows what I know!) but I'm happy you think it works. Thanks for stopping by and commenting. Cheers. Peace.

	dajama said 177 days ago
	Thanks, Vic I'm delighted you enjoyed this one. And thank you so much for the comment on the vocals. I'm flattered! This was one of those songs that seemed to require an extra something in the singing to get it to sound right. I don't think I quite got it (I never do, to be honest...) but I gave it my best shot, and I'm happy you liked it. Thanks for stopping by and commenting. Cheers. Peace.

	dajama said 177 days ago
	Thanks, Len I really appreciate your stopping by. You are always so encouraging. I'm particularly happy you liked the sound; you've been producing some pretty amazing tracks yourself! Glad you enjoyed this one. Cheers. Peace.

	dajama said 176 days ago
	Wow What a combination! Now you're just trying to mess with my head! Thanks indeed for such a flattering comment. I'm delighted you enjoyed this one. Many thanks. Much appeciated. Cheers. Peace.

	dajama said 176 days ago
	Thanks, Russ I really appreciate the nice words about the lyrics. When I write a song, I often have a fragment of a line, or even just a few words as I write the music. Turning that into finished lyrics is often a hard slog! I'm very happy that you think they work. Thanks for listening and commenting. Much appreciated. Cheers. Peace.

	dajama said 174 days ago
	Thank you, my friend I'm very glad you enjoyed this one. Thank you in particular for your comments on the vocals. It's very encouraging! Thanks for your support. It's much appreciated. Peace.
