Dave has done a remix after feedback from Gavin Please have a listen https://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=13797262Sad Theme. I read a story about 5 years ago concerning a teenage girl who was born with facial disfigurements. All through her life she had been bullied taunted and a figure of fun for the callous. Firstly a lyric came from it, then our song Please have a listen Travis Deej( Dave Lekich) saw my lyric on the forum and offered to compose a melody and do a vocal. Having heard Dave's unique voice and seen his work around JPF i couldn't refuse Travis https://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=13792598SAME AS YOU INSIDE v Look at me, tell me what you see in my eyes is there laughter or pain? Talk to me don't turn your head away been through all that time and again c I'm the same as you inside, hurt and I cry here I am reaching out to you Seems I'm forever on the outside wipe away a tear and sigh another sigh I'm the same as you inside, hurt and I cry v Someone to love me be my best friend and say all the things best friends say No longer turn my head at cruel things said just need someone to ask, you OK? b Words can be sweet and please the soul, words can be brutal and spear the heart. words won't show the bruises they've made but leave inward scars that time never fades c I'm the same as you inside, hurt and I cry here I am reaching out to you Seems I'm forever on the outside wipe away a tear and sigh another sigh I'm the same as you inside, hurt and I cry

Gavin:
Appreciate the listen. Cat Stevens, huh? Well, that’s fine by me (but do I have to give up my efforts to join a Bee Gees cover band?). Anyway, I don’t think I’m anywhere near either universe, but I’ll settle for the next galaxy or two over.
As for the song, this recording was actually a pretty quick take, principally intended to give Travis a feel for where I was going with it. But, as it turns out, I think acoustic style works well, so I'm not planning on adding much more to it.
I agree though that the backing vocals might benefit from some fine tuning. For example, I meant for the “I hurt, I cry” to be more stereo than dominant in the right ear. While I do think the backing vox are moderately respectable here, it’s worth trying to tweak. I’ll play with it and see if I can soften it some.
Sadly, I have not yet been to New Orleans—maybe one day! :-)
Thanks again for the input, and kindest regards,
Deej

Mimmo,
Thanks for giving this one a spin and glad you liked it. As for your question, I recorded the guitar first, then the vocal, then the backing vocals (though see my note to Gavin above—the backing vox are worth revisiting). I record them on separate tracks primarily because then I can adjust each distinctly in my DAW. But, I also do it because I find I don't play as well when I'm singing at the same time.
Deej Hi Deej. Yeah, I would do the same if I recorded guitars. Lately I don't do much live guitars, my fingers are sore and I won't be able to play for a long time. so I usually try to get help on the live recording from friends here and there. Thanks for sharing. Mimmo

Lane, Martin and Brian:
Thanks for stopping in and for your kind comments. I can't say enough how much these affecting lyrics struck me when I first read them. I'm pleased I could do well by them (and by Travis, who wrote them), and that you all enjoyed it. Travis nailed what it's like to feel like an outsider. Whether we are different by color, gender, sexuality, or, in the case of this song's inspiration, a physical disfigurement--or really any other difference between one and the so-called "norm", in the end, we all have one common denominator: We want to be like and loved. We deserve both. And we shouldn't tolerate the bullies who aim to make themselves feel superior by making the rest of us feel worse.
Again, appreciate the listen.
Kindest regards to you all,
Deej

Hi Couchgrouch, Thanks for your feedback.I played the song to a few people before any explanation behind it and the concensus seemed to be, it's about racial or sexual intolerence? Which of course puts bullying in the frame So if it made them think of these issues, it has worked. Perhaps the lyric is twee and trite to you but conversley it might mean much more to someone else so it's subjective. I appreciate your comments, the song being at a work in progress stage, could well see a change or two. However the theme will remain and of course Dave's excellent vocal/ music Cheers Travis

It is very vague, im not seeing the racial intolerance, but maybe somebody who experiences it can. It doesnt point to it lyrically
It's funny reading comments about songs here. it tells alot about human nature. I immediately chuckle when I see the Cowrite monikers.
its like. "hey this one must be good, cause a co-writer is listed"
Some of you wrote together and it was wonderful, then when not together, it's not so wonderful.
I get ideas sometimes just by reading these comments, they add more drama than the song, and provide insight to us humans.
Congrats on the radio play.

Eddie, Appreciate the listen and the kind comments. To my detriment, I'm sure, I'm not familiar with David Becker--but now I'm curious so will have to check him out.  Good to see you back here, Eddie. You input is always valued and the JPF is not the same without you! Hope all is well in your world, Deej
