Panic Thing
By Mike Siegel and Tom Franz
V1
Lost my glasses lost my keys
I just want to leave
I can’t get behind the wheel
Not the way I feel
Build
Everyday in everyway
I cannot get away
Anxieties like static cling
I’ve got this stupid little panic thing

Chorus
Doctor please
Write me script
Can’t you see
My confidence is chipped

I’ve got this new tick
And I’m sweating bricks
Don’t let that phone ring
I’ve got this panic thing

V2
Got these crosses that I bare
More than my share
Something is going very wrong
But I knew it all along
Build
Everyday in everyway
I cannot get away
Anxieties like static cling
I’ve got this stupid little panic thing

Chorus
Bridge
I cannot ride an aero plane
Cause I’m on some list
Elevator is not for me
Without one last wish
Chorus

Hey Mike & Tom (and Somefellow in case I missed anyone!

Good solid rock tune. I think lot's of folks can relate to the "panic thing". Anything along those lines... nervousness, lack of confidence, a slippery foot... gonna keep those docs pretty busy, he he!

Luckily for most folks, this tune might be the only 'script' they need. Who said "Laughter isn't the best medicine"?

Great job!
M.B.

Can I turn my headphones back to normal now?!





------------------
The OUTLOOK may often appear bleak, but the UPLOOK is always bright!

Hi Guys....

The ultimate rock song...Bowie meets Petty meets The Cars...ha...LOVE IT! (Tom, in one part you sound just like Tom Petty..who is one of my favorites!)

Great lyric..Love the line, "My confidence is chipped." ha..

TOM...ohhhh, Tom....you rock on this one..great, great job...In just one little place I was holding my own throat, because I thought you were going to BLOW a vocal cord any minute..ha..YIKES! But you pulled it through...MAN..you did really good on this one. You know I'm a fan of yours..

Okay just a few picky, picky things:
I think I would write it as
"Anxiety's like static cling" ...

And on the chorus are you really meaning to say, "Write me script" or should it be
"Write me A script" I personally think it would sound just a tad better if you put the word "A" in...nothing big though..

I can tell you two are going to make a good team, and I will anxiously be awaiting to hear more!

Tom/Mike;

Wow! The California/Guam connection, I always look forward to hearing your new material as individuals now you're long distance colabing, very nice. This sent me running off in search of some Paxil I will listen a few more times.

Unc

Michael,
Nice to have you back. You are an excellent mentor. Thanks for your kind words on the song. Mike was the brains behind this I just did the melody and singing.

Shelia,
Are you the kindest person ever or what??
Like I said Mike was the wit behind the lyrics and direction.
I have to smile that you (very rightly by the way) remind me that it should be "A" script. Just my luck it is during the three part harmony chorus that repeats three times!

Also you made me laugh when you said you were holding your throat at one point.
But it made my think that we all hold our heart when we hear you sing.

Unc, Could you send along some of that Paxil, this song made me very nervous.

Too afraid to listen!

But I have to tell you, I am going to have to change the topic of my latest song I was working on. You guessed it! I started the panic idea for a song a few weeks ago. I'll keep the music though.

Thanks man! Boo Hoo

Will listen as soon as my Lorazapam kicks in.

I'm only one in many, & the others seem to like it. I like the song, but in my oppinion the vocals don't fit with the style of song. My first impression was senior citizen rock n roll. I would like to hear this done by someone younger.

dh, They got to be way different. Go ahead and listen.

Star,
Ouch.

Yeah, sorry, I hate it that I have to be honest with my opinions, but hey, if you are going to ever have this produced, or anyone else on here asking for feedback for that matter, honesty, is the only way to go in order to get the whole picture of how it is perceived. Like I said I'm only one in many. I haven't had a chance to listen to your other songs yet. I'm planning on it though; you seem to be popular on this site. If you would rather I not comment I will understand. Talent and creative works are very personal and it's tough to put yourself out here as you have.
Star

Star Finder, (Welcome)!

Watch out though, for the older ones are headed in the direction to possibly take over the music pop scene in the near future. I respect your opinion however, but I think Tom's voice is "Boss"!

Tom,
I think this would be a good album song for you. Not a single perhaps, but I'm not the one to decide those things. Anyway, I enjoyed the classic structure and clever lyrics that also ring true, (ohhh,,,don't let that phone ring)!

From one that knows wbout this subject ALL TOO WELL, it worked.

Had my first one in '80. Living nightmare that damn thing was. Still are, but I know more about them, and know they have a life expectency, unlike the one I think I don't have when going through it. If you go through them for real, one trick I learned is to picture a stop sign you always see around your place, and yell in your mind, or if alone, yell for real "STOP"! Then NO! YOU'RE NOT GOING TO LAST LONG....STOP!

At least you hear your own voice and that alone can help in knowing you're still with us all! Walking long helps me too in the midst of them, although it feels like I can't control my legs very well, and that I might get a case of the runs while walking!
Ha!,,,,,,,,Laughing at it now, but just about crying when they happen. Weird, aren't they?

It sucks for sure. More than anything could suck.

John Daubert,
(Survivor of Panic Attacks)

There's help out there for anybody reading this that has them. Ask your family doctor, and Yogo teacher about them. NO Yogo teacher?,,,,Rookie! In time and enough of them, you'll have one. Might as well get one now, or at least get videos on that and "proper" deep breathing and eating/drinking/stress.

Thanks Tom for bringing to light that condition in a clever and entertaining song!

Great job!
John Daubert

No Problem Star,
I appeciate your honesty. You can tell the truth to me anytime.
But I would really appreciate it if you found someone to cut this for me.
Tom

John,
Sorry to get back to you late. Thank you for your post. Though this song takes a lighthearted look at the situation. I know Panic attackes can be tramatic and I am glad you posted your thoughts.
Thank you.

Tom, Mike,

Cool tune. Not quite as frantic as "Pressure", but it makes the point melodically. Enjoyed the listen.

Bill

Thanks to all who listened and commented.

Tom deserves most of the credit here... he produced it and wrote the melody and the bridge lyric. You rock, Tom!

mike

At first, I didn't think the vocals fit the music, but I kept listening. I can hear both Tom Petty (Chorus) & Bruce Springsteen in your voice. It's catchy - It's got a good beat & you can dance to it - I give it a 9.

David

Another great one!Man your voice is so cool

Great job, you guys... setting a high bar for the rest of us...
