Description This is a previous effort of mine that Ridd wanted to polish - the kind of offer you don't say no to. So of course he made it sound great. I love what he did with it and I'm sure you will, too.

Eric - Piano, guitars, vocals, keys
Ridd - Backing vox, percussion, slide guitar, turd polishing

The original: http://www.macjams.com/song/44019
Lyrics Given the circumstance of fate
Even the early bird comes late
But I'm wasted on you
Picking yourself up off of the ground
Life's lookin' up so don't look down
But I'm wasted on you.

You're unapproachable
If I can't get you I'll never try
You're unapproachable
But I can't get you off of my mind
No, I love you all the time
I can't get you off my mind
I love you all of the time.

as it started.....
....I was thinking, "where's this going?". And I have to say I loved it. Dig that little bass line, too.

This turd shines like the sun.

Great job. DL'd

hah
Where is it going? It's going to blow you away :).

I'm glad you liked it and downloaded it!

rsorensen said 141 days ago
totally awesome
Man I love this song. Thanks for letting me have my way with it. I have a lot of experience polishing turds, but that wasn't the case here. More like a diamond with a teeny tiny little bit of rock that needed to be scraped off. Square Pegs next? ;)

Lennon714 said 140 days ago
turd polishing expert
I'm glad you got your hands on it. I'm just going to copy the effects and compression you put on my vocals from here on out.

Square Pegs is still a good idea, give me another 7 months to send it over to you :).

I absolutely abhor the way I sound singing, but after Ridd did whatever he did to the vocals, even I was digging the vocals. You're too kind, Feter!

timothy devine said 140 days ago

timothy devine said 137 days ago

I came back for another listen. What a great lyric. The production is just primo pro
the parts all played real well and recorded very clearly.

I just love this tune

"hey thats a macjams song"
hehehe

I have a dirty, inappropriate joke ready to roll but sometimes self-censorship should win out. It's a family site. So I'll leave it at "thanks for checking it out". :)

hey
don't hold back on my account.

SmokeyVW said 139 days ago
progression
i like that chord progression, even though it has been used quite a bit.

in fact, i really really like that chord progression.

great lyrics! great tune!

thanks

Lennon714 said 139 days ago
Thanks Bill
I'm rarely inventive with my progressions or chords so I try to focus instead on melodic elements. I could listen to a I IV V progression for hours! Glad you dug it.

peacepiano said 139 days ago
Cool
Like the song. Kind of Nilsson style :)

Thanks
Bill

Lennon714 said 139 days ago
thanks!
Nilsson is a favorite of mine, actually. Unbelievable voice and brilliant songsmith. Any mention of him in conjunction with a song of mine is flattering, even if it's just in small pieces.

so flippin catchy! love the dreamy break

Lennon714 said 139 days ago
Thank you
I was just messing around with my piano and guitar when I did this, Ridd made this one shine.

Vic Holman said 139 days ago
redux
this turned out great guys. I really dig the sparse arrangement. Very tidy. And Eric your vocals are super. And Ridd the harmony guitar lines came out great!

This really bounces along nicely!

Lennon714 said 139 days ago
hi
Thanks, Vic. If you listen to the original you can really tell how much Ridd cleaned up my vocal. It gave me an idea of just how much I left to learn... which is a good thing. Thanks for giving it a listen!

buckhorn said 139 days ago
Your arraingements are so good
and a great sound to go with it. Well worth the polish.
Dig the Harmonizing lead. Great stuff.

Lennon714 said 139 days ago
thanks
I'm glad you stopped by to check it out. Thank you for the compliment!

Rebsie said 136 days ago
Yeah
It starts with a nice little bounce and then wheeeeeeeee!

Thanks for a pleasant ride.

Epileptic Gibbon said 135 days ago
I enjoyed
listening to this. I haven't heard the original version so I can't comment on whether it's better or not but I get something out of hearing this. I haven't got a lot more to say really but thanks for posting.

Lennon714 said 135 days ago
Thanks!
There's no comment requirement here :). Just thanks for listening and I'm glad you liked it.

regulus said 134 days ago
I don't know what
to say as it tossed me into an inner zone that was not expected, I had to listen to this a couple of times too. To me what is really kill about it is, the dynamics of simplicity and how complex it is to manifest a great work. U'r on it. Great job........

Lennon714 said 134 days ago
Thanks
I appreciate your comments. You make me feel brilliant :). A lot of the credit goes to Ridd for pushing this one over the edge. I'm on my way over to check out some of your stuff. Thanks for listening!

lengold said 111 days ago
Lovely song
great performances and production - what more could you ask for?
Cheers
Len



Lennon714 said 110 days ago
thanks
money. boatloads of money. Just joking! ...well, kind of. Thanks for listening.

comment
this is my third attempt at a comment - not sure why they're not going through. Hopefully they won't all show up at some point!

Anyway, to condense the comments I tried to make earlier, I really like your song. I like the beatlesque chord progression, sound effects, and the way the drums drop out at the end.

I look forward to hearing more of your stuff!



Lennon714 said 36 days ago
haha
Well I'm glad you stuck it out and tried to get a comment in. I appreciate it. I know you've worked with Ridd before so you understand the life he can breathe in to a project. Thanks for listening and staying so true to the comment process :)!

BenedictJames said 36 days ago
Solid stuff
A great collab guys, didn't hear the original yet, but i like this.
Cool vocals, calling to mind Liam G amongst others.....good, solid song

Lennon714 said 36 days ago
Thanks
The original isn't wildly different. This one is just a much cleaner mix and Ridd added a lot of tasty nuggets to it. By Liam G vox I hope you mean of the brothers Gallagher. If not, that's cool, too. I just like how foul those cats are.
