Topic: Nothing to lose

I had a recording session with my buddy last week and we laid down a new song I had written called 'Nothing to Lose'. You can find it here http://soundclick.com/share?songid=6554789. Its a blues/rock number, hopefully someone will find it of interest.

Nothing To Loseby seriousfun


[A] Its an all night party, I got nothing to lose,


I sit with my buddies, I sing the blues, cause


[D] I got no woman and no womans got


[A] me, yeah…. I used


[E] to have a ball and chain but


[D] Lord she went and set me


[A] free. [E]




[A] A lady’s staring at me all dressed in Red,


She prob’ly wants to get me in her bed, but


[D] I want no woman but all the women want


[A] me, yeah…. I used


[E] to have a ball and chain but


[D] Lord she went and set me


[A] free. [E]





2 verse solo




[A] A few more beers, I got less to lose,


A lady in red, so over I cruise, and


[D] I ask for her name and her number,


[A] too, yeah…. Then she


[E] she laughs in my face


[D] and tells me to shoot


[A] thru. [E]




1 verse solo




Repeat verse 1



As always I hope you enjoy my musical journey as much as I do.

Re: Nothing to lose

Yes i enjoyed this song.

You have a witty side to your writing which is always nice to see.  It tells me your not all serious.

I also like Imaginary Tourist . The power of the mind.      Books do it for me!

Thank You.

Re: Nothing to lose

Like it.  At the second verse I was thinking, "Oh, here we go.  Another guitar player who mistakes his instrument for his thingy."  And then you do the shoot down in the third verse and I'm thinking, "Yeah!  That was unexpected.  Cool end!"

Re: Nothing to lose

Hi seriousfun - this is a dandy blues number.  Love the idea and what you did with it and want to hear some more of your stuff.

I took the liberty of fixing the 'voodoo codes' so it 'looks all purdy like' now.  You can open up your song with the 'edit' button (bottom right of message box) and see what I did to the coding.  James
