How long can I hold your attention?

Post by feaker66 » Tue Feb 07, 2023 5:27 am

I lose interest in most studio born songs in the first 30 second. Some with long intro's. Some with lame lyrics etc. I tried in this track to create a curiosity in the first 15 seconds and then hold the listener's attention as long as possible. The daydream of mine is about a mysterious beauty in a backwoods southern bar. Her actions are puzzling?
Excuse my cold ridden voice. Also i will need a female voice for the bridge spoken voice . I am 74 years old and do everything in this track except the EZdrummer.

Crazy Dm …C G Dm

She comes alone somewhere bout midnight doesn’t talk to no one
Slams down her whiskey..tips the barkeep.and whispers to him I gotta go
Why’s she commin here every night
where could she goin and what’s she runnin from
So beautiful mysterious She’s got my full attention I really wanna know BbC…Dm

Why’d ya turn yur head…all I said was Hi C G
I thought we could talk for maybe just a little while F G
pI know I’m not pretty, but I’m kinda nice C G
You can just say it if ya got some other guy F G Dm

Cra..zy I’m going crazy why won’t this perfect stranger even look my way..ay
Cra..zy I”m going crazy….I want to know her story F C Gm C…..Dm
What kinda things is she gonna say…..ta me

Another night ..she’s watchin the TV…slamin more drinks sittin next to me
Slowly got myself up...circled round her chair..got in her face..she can’t get free
Staring in those cold dark eyes..they were focused like lasers into mine

(gal) I confess I’ve been watchin on you..ya shorely did take yur sweet time
My time is short, but I wish I could know you Dm F G Bb Dm A7 Dm
But I have to leave and face the things I have done
I’m so tired of running and hiding..but you right now I can’t do
Before I go I want you to know..I have never hurt anyone

Cra..zy I’zz going crazy…cuz this beautiful stranger wouldn’t talk to me
Cra..zy I’zz nearly crazy..I could never be her lover cuz she first…
has to set her mind free…...come back please (outro)
Thankfully, while growing old is compulsory, growing up remains optional!
