These are the lyrics for the song posted in THIS THREADOr, if not the lyrics that I'm singing there, they're the ones that I am working on. "I Got Nuthin'"(chorus) I got nothin' A whole lot of nuthin' But nothing is all that I need Yeah, I've got nothing Too much nothing And nothing's bothering me 1. I've been looking For something all my life I found a little woman And I made that girl my wife She gave me everything I wanted and then more But I threw it all away (chorus) 2. Family, friends, and strangers Give me all I want and need They've filled my life with happiness And filled my heart with glee But I never have felt worthy And I guess that I was right Because look at me today... (chorus) - solo - 3. Now I'm lying in the gutter With a smile on my face Kinda zen, kinda drunk I finally found my place I've got nothing to my name And nothing left to lose ... (chorus x2) ...Nothing is killing me

Hi Todd I think this is quite a sweet lyric and works! There may be one or two filler words that I might remove but it would only be minor tweaks and having not heard the audio yet it may have it just right anyway I’ll try and grab a listen to the audio when I get a chance. Cheers Nige

HiDee BroTodd!
First Glance, Chorus reminds me Bigtime of "I Got Plenty of Nothin'" in the musical "Porgy & Bess"...
I'm off to hear the audio...
Best Wishes & a Big Guy-Hug, Stan

I knew that it came from somewhere. Thanks for reminding me! You are 100% correct. Now the question becomes: is it TOO MUCH like it?
Damn.
Hope that it holds up.

Interesting concept (fitting the times?), good playing, nice constant tempo and rhythmic backing, good singing. Might have liked to hear the song progress a bit more storywise but no biggie, you just wrote it and it's a first take right?
Best Regards and Aloha,
Charlie

Nice job. I like the 3rd verse and the way your last line could be interpreted multiple ways.
