Been away for a while. This one has Jennifer Pearl on vocals. It was recorded to a mono track on SingSnap and I overlaid a stereo track after the vocals were done. Not an ideal procedure. https://soundcloud.com/gnometones/im-not-blueI'm Not Blue She made me green with envy When I saw her kissing you That woman drove me crazy My name's on your tattoo I might have cried a little But I'm not blue My face was red from anger Though you've seen it all before Who'll keep you out of danger Away from that damn whore I might have yelled a little But I'm not blue. There are many colors And I've been quite a few But I can't lie to you I'm not blue No I'm not blue I've been known to be yellow Afraid to stand up to you I guess I'm just too mellow This is long overdue I might have screamed a little But I'm not blue My life had been shades of grey Way before you left me I saw you start to stray There'll be no third degree I might have groaned a little But I'm not blue There are many colors And I've been quite a few But I can't lie to you I'm not blue No I'm not blue

Rick,
Cool stuff all over the place here.
Cool song. Awesome vocal. Awesome playing.
The recording doesn't do it justice. It is as if everyone is in a different space. It may be reverbs setting them apart?
But I really enjoyed the song...

Hi Calvin..
Jennifer is a great singer. I was lucky to get her to sing this.
Merry Christmas to you, also.

Floyd,
I would have loved to be able to mix this song properly, but like I said, It was recorded on a mono track with a stereo track layered over it.
Thanks for the listen and comments.
Rick

This one slipped by me, glad I caught it before it fell off of the first page! Cool blues tune. Yeah the production needs a facelift but the song itself is a nice one, musically and lyrically. At the end, I was expecting her to fade to black as she walked away. Ricki

Thanks Ricki. I'd love to do it over, but I'm not sure I could get Jennifer to sing it again. Fade to black, good one.

Rick,
Yea man very cool attitude with this gal, and nice job delivering these lyrics. There are a couple spots maybe the prosody could be improved--one that stuck out for me was "I might have screa--eamed a little/ I would prefer hearing her say "I might have screamed and _______ a little,-- an extra verb there would flow better for me. (Not a big deal by any means). Nice job, thus far, and certainly more potential IMO.

nice write and a mighty fine vocal. For the limitations you were operating under with the mix, I thought it came out pretty good.
