Re: This man is me

Dude, Alex very interesting song. Looking inside is a really great song idea and I think you captured the fearful side of it well. Your choice of chords support the lyrics without getting in the way. Well done.

Re: This man is me

Hey Alex, I also agree that it is a great idea for a song.  Society and civilization and civilized behavior is a very thin veneer - scratch it hard enough and the ugly underneath shows through.  My recent posting "Feed Me" touched on these same ideas.  James

Re: This man is me

This song puts my in mind of an incident in a supermarket a few weeks ago. I was standing behind a very large biker, all in leathers, long greasy hair and beard, a real hard case in appearance. Yet most of his purchases were cat food and he spoke very quietly and politely to young lady serving him.


It does us well to look at ourselves and imagine how we appear to others although appearances can be deceiving.


Nice song Alex, well thought out and presented and nice to hear your daughter joining in.
