I heard a guy (who admits singing isn't his strong point) mubling into a microphone. Sheesh I didn't want this to head in this direction. I just wanted to respectfully bow out. Next time i'm not responding to comments.

Hey Buddy

It's all good. So you listen to a lot of modern rock, but you dont write it, play it sing it or produce it. How many bands have you been in? all this stuff plays into the game.
You have to be BRUTALY honest with your yourself, I am all the time. that's why I bust my ass. If singing isn't my strong point as you reminded me, then where does yours stand smile
I intentionally revealed that I mumble into the microphone on occasion to inspire and help my songs melodies phrasing, meter and give the co-lyricist sitting next to me something to write to & work from.

As for lyric you have seen & heard what my completed work is like, As a matter of fact I have NEVER posted an incomplete song here or on the lyric board.
I'm very aware of how this concept and thing I'm trying here could back fire.
It's supposed to be fun, doing what you love even if it's hard work is fun.

I took the tougher road here : I know who is really really good here and at a pro level in many regards. I could have PM messaged them and tried a collab out like that very easily....

That's would ANYONE & EVERYONE would do.... I'm different!\

Think of those TAXI listenings, where you pay to submit for years and get little to nothing in return.
I felt I was offering something of use.....

It's all good... & Mark - I agree with your points on the song.

This song was tossed aside for a reason, that's why I'm hooking it up with this
exercise/contest/ thread... for input


Thanks!
Peace Mike
