Say what??
are you talking to me?
oh, man
'm starting to listen......


Your love is really saying something
it’s whispering in my ear
it wails at me in my lonely hours
making itself perfectly clear.

It spouts speeches when I’m working
from the corners of my mind
It bugs me when I try to hide
thinking I can…But love is blind.

Its infected me like a virus
I can’t feel good... I’m so blue
and there ain’t no shot to cure me
unless I take a shot at you.

you're driving me crazy baby!

you're driving me crazy baby!

And maybe I should listen
to what your love has to say
cause it’s offering me the finest catch
that has ever come my way.

Though my mother always told me
there are lots of fish in the sea
your love is huge, like Moby Dick
the biggest whale is your love set free
I need to get you next to me...
oooohhhh, I need to get you next to me

And though I like my freedom
my lonely heart is bleeding
and my chances are receding
cause your getting tired of waiting
for my endless hesitating
pretty soon you might be hating
me for being so frustrating.
So I wrote this simple song
and I’m coming on strong
I'm coming on strong....
cause our hunger it needs slating.

So slide on over next to me
I don’t want to be estranged
let’s celebrate love’s nagging me
cause I love you girl…. I’m changed!

I need to get next to you
not further away
forgive me for my apathy...
I'm loving all that love has to say...

Love chased me like the hounds of hell,
Love was right and I was wrong..
in your arms is where I truly do belong.

Take me as I am
first reluctant then bewitched
you are the reason I exist
the reason I exist...baby
let’s share the bliss of love’s sweet call
cause I’m liking life like this…
I just want to get next to you
come on give me a big kiss
oh, baby what the hell was I waiting for
you got all I need and more.
love was really saying something
and this is my reply
as I get lost in your eyes
it’s time to give love a try
you’ll be perfect girl
I’ll be your perfect guy

Come on over baby
to the loving side
you won’t be denied
you’ll be my pride and joy
come on over to the loving side
I’m ready
oh, baby I’m ready
I’m ready for love
ready for your love
are you ready for mine
it’ll be so fine
are you ready for love
are you ready for love
are you ready for love….

Enjoyed my listen, MFB III: (Would you prefer I call you Matt or Fred?)

If you are able to divulge, please explain exactly who Colonel Denton happens to be? I'm assuming he does the music (after hearing your music line), playing and arranging only... but the process varies all over the map here at JPF.

One thought... and I mean this to be taken constructively... have you considered slowing the tempo a bit to make it easier for the listener's understanding?

All the best, ----Dave

Hey Dave, Thanks for your critique and comment. It is always appreciated. Colonel Denton lives in theUnited kingdom and he produces some incredible music. I take the music and run it through my tascam digital recorder and add vocals , lyrics and the melody line. The end result is usually fun and somewhat satisfying. long distance collaborarations will never beat being in a studio together and creating music, but My airline flights would break me...LOL I can slow the tempo on Audacity and make it easier for listener's to understand. it sounded good to me at the speed it is...but hey I wrote it and I understand the myrics better then most. Thanks for the skilled listen.

Hi MFB:

I hope you never misconstrue my thought about "experimenting" with tempo as criticism. My suggestion is simply to try several "takes" to see what seems to work best... and get the most responses. Audacity is a wonderful tool for that purpose. Try it out on a couple of trusted friends (seldom family members) and see what they think works best. Sometimes you efforts will lead you full circle... right back to the original.

I feel luckier than most, having an endless supply of lyrics and being able to create melodies to provide backing... usually with a little "shoehorning" of the lyrics. I also experiment with different genres on the same song title just to see if I can add more "verve" to my catalog. Now if only my vocal capabilities were better. I've begun working hard to improve that aspect of my "favorite hobby" but it may be too late in my less that successful career.

You obviously have the youth, talent and tenacity to do well if you can develop a method for opening doors into a well guarded music community. Now as I reach the "end of my journey" I find that pouring over candidate songs for improvement or scrapping in my catalog... or workbooks is a great pastime for an old geezer like me.

Wishing you all the success in the world in this overcrowded biz.

----Dave

Ah, Dave, you're never to old and it's never too late. We got eighty year old men there still pushing their songs, but the way I look at it....what a long strange trip it's been...and so much fun. just the sheer joy of creating music and then hearing your creation come back at you sounding wonderful is a gift that can't bought. I will follow your suggestions for you are wise in the art and i thank you for being a faithful listenenr and friend for so long. !~~Matt
