Another written from old memories out of my past--Did this one with GARAGEBAND! Comments are welcome! http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=13350982MY SWEET THING
© 2016 Mackie Humphries
I’m going back down to Clarksdale
Where my Angel waits for me
I’m going back down to Clarksdale
Gonna let her love set me free.
Yeah, my Sweet Thing she’s on my mind
The whole town knows our love’s dyin’
But come midnight we’re gonna make up
Then all my blues will turn to love.
Gotta get back to see my Baby
She knows I can’t live without her
Gotta get back to see my Baby
I been missin' the way we were.
Yeah, my Sweet Thing she’s on my mind
The whole town knows our love’s dyin’
But come midnight we’re gonna make up
Then all my blues will turn to love.
Love my sweet Thing she knows I do
Love my sweet Thing she knows I do.
Yeah, my Sweet Thing she’s on my mind
The whole town knows our love’s dyin’
But come midnight we’re gonna make up
Then all my blues will turn to love.
After midnight we’re gonna make up
Then all my blues will turn to love
Yes, all my blues will turn to love.Mackie

Done up in classic Mackie fashion. Sounding good. Nobody can fashion a heartbreaker like you with just the guitar and voice. I hope in reality the blues did actually turn to love. I love a happy ending.

Hi Mackie,
When I saw the words "sweet thing" I thought of Van Morrison's beautiful "Astral Weeks" album, and you do share some traits with Van--you both fashion heartfelt songs that feel loosely structured, and you both tear 'em up vocally, and it feels like the spirit is moving you as you sing..
Beautiful work, Mackie!

Wouldn't it be nice if Clapton cut one--I have a couple of Cream albums.
Thanks for stopping by with your thought!

Mackie, Another one that reads and sounds like it was ripped from the pages of life. There's a lot of Harlon Howard in this one. Keep up the good work.

Michael-
I have Irish blood--I remember buying Moondance in 1970--I still have the album somewhere--He had a wide variety of songs: Rock, Folk and R & B--Never thought any of my songs would remind someone of His--I appreciate your feedback!

Dan--
Thanks for the visit and feedback--You already know how I feel about Harlan Howard--In the 60's I used to hang out with the young song writers in Nashville on Broadway. I fixed a bunch of their Fender tube amps--Went to many of Harlan's Birthday Bashes--I wore the last birthday tee shirt to shreds after he died--
Harlan was one of a kind! He always said: "All it takes is three chords and the truth to have a hit!"
If I remember right, Harlan was born in Michigan, then grew up in Kentucky--He surely had long songwriters' career with many #1 hits to his credit!
Later,
Mackie

Instant classic, Mackie.
I do love your soulful vocal delivery on this.
"But come midnight we’re gonna make up
Then all my blues will turn to love."
Love the hopefulness in it.
Beautifully written and performed.

Always a warm and distinctive vocal from you. Garage band?? Sounding pretty good. A "mackie-tune" never fails to be an enjoyable and emotional experience. Very fine.

Thank you Kevin!
Garageband is a Mac App, that is based on LOGIC, It is easier to use.
