Tricia Baker wrote some wonderful blues lyrics that I felt I had an interpretation for.

She graciously accepted to allow me to write a song around them and this was the result.

Thanks Tricia, hope you like it!

Your thoughts, comments and ideas are always valued.

Don't go tellin me that you love me
Don't go sayin things you don't really mean
Just make me glad that I came here
And don't treat me like I'm sixteen

Don't you whisper any promises
Unless you know they’re ones you'll keep
Don't offer wishful thinking
Or a sip from a well that aint deep

Chorus
If it is what it is
Unless it's more than this
Keep it simple stupid
Keep it simple stupid

Don't make love to me tonight
Then go back to calling us friends
My heart can't tell the diff'rence
Where your bound'ries start or where they end

It's not the fear of falling
It's indecision that I'd regret
Don't take me then forsake me
'Cause I won't forgive or forget

Repeat Chorus

Bridge
Don't turn the lights way down low
Or turn on that radio

Hi there, Martin. I like this. Your vocals and the melody are right on the money. The song moved along a little too slowly for my taste, but that's not a criticism, just a personal preference. And being a blues tune, it probably moves just like it's supposed to. wink

And Tricia, I love the lyrics, especially the last verse. That sums up the singer's feelings nicely. Very well written.

Nice job, both of you.

Greg

"Grits is one of those country-boy words that is both singular and plural-like deer, elk and sheep. I think the singular is appropriate when there's a modifier that makes it clear one is talking about something specific. Like, 'Grits are good for you, but these here grits is tasty.'"~~Joe Wrabek

Hey Accel and Tricia:

Nice lyric, Tricia - and nice interpretation of it, Accel.
Melody and lyric are perfectly suited to each other, in my opinion.

The way you deliver the hook line takes it from a cliche to something almost audacious. Which leads me to my last comment: As well as you handled the vocal on this, Accel, I think it needs a female vocal. A gal can get away with saying that - haven't met a guy yet that could grin

Listened a few times - just cause I enjoyed it so much smile

Martin/Tricia, very smooth blues tune. Probably does need a girl singer, although your vocals are very good.. smile

Hey Greg, non taken,

Slow songs are the hardest to do because of the beat and the vocals are usually more drawn out, more held notes in most cases, (not particularly this one). I always look for that challenge when it presents itself. This song actually started out sounding like an ACDC tune and I started getting into the production and decided to look at some other angles.

When you mentioned that it was a little too slow for you, i immediatley started to play the song in my head faster to see what it might sound like and I think it would pretty good amybe even better!

Thanks for pointing that out, it's something to think about.

I love blues, the song rocked! Very well done! I feel I should be in a smoky bar. Not in Washington ST though, they outlawed smoking in public places including bars.(Stupid tree huggers! NOTE: I apologize in advance for offending anyone :-)

Accel and Tricia....I like what Martin did....I agree though a female vocal would be worth trying....the hook is more what a woman would tell a man "Keep it simple stupid"....something most of us men hear from their woman most of the time...lol....

I also think I'd try the tempo up alittle bit more....after I had a female vocal first though....

Accel always comes up with great music and arrangements....

Nice write...."simple"...but effective.....

Have a great weekend....Bob

Hey Scott,

Yeah I agree, when I think of how this song was inspired, I think of Norah Jones. I wondered what it would be like to have a male version of that type of thing going on.

I hadn't heard aything like that before, so hey . . . light bulb.

That's just the way I think sometimes when I'm writing. I'll take an idea that has been done before and throw a variable at it that I didn't think was used much before.

Like I said before, this song started out sounding like ACDC so when I got the idea to slow it down and jazz it up, I guess I was still in that soprano vocal mode and I remembered Robert Plant doing something vaguely similar.

A female vocal would definitley be the way to go on this. Especially because of the lyrics, they were written by Tricia!
When I think of it from that angle then most almost all love songs written by women are probably best sung by women.

It was a challenge for me to sing softly in that register and I thought it would be good for my voice. I'm always trying different things with my voice cause I want it to have as much flexibility as can be afforded.

Thanks for listening Scott and yes I'd be totally up for hearing this song with an angel singing it! I think it is well deserved.

Hey beachbc,

I'm glad you liked it and I love dem good ol' as well, they have been a staple in modern music since the civil war thanks to Stagger Lee and much later Robert Johnson and so many others. A great history and still going strong today!

I've been known to hug a few trees in my youth not for any particular reason other than to keep me on my feet due to over indulgence!

Have a great day and thanks for your kind note.

Tricia and Accel you pulled off an excellent collaboration
that turned the pieces into a whole lip smacking taste
of silliness that comes off smart and witty.
Thanks for the listen Ken

Thanks so much for listening, Ken. We appreciate it. I've admired Martin's work for a very long time. When he asked me about it, I was so pleased to finally get to work with him. He did my lyric proud, that's for sure.

Hey Riky,

I would like to try this at a more chipper clip, I think it would open up new possiblities and the song would take on a whole different character. I think it would be a blast!

That is if the tempo was significantly altered.

Thanks for listening and pointing that out!

Accel and Tricia,

Accel you did a great job with Tricia's excellent blues lyrics. There's no rule you that says you can have only one version of a song. A faster one might be good, one with a female vocal may sound fine, but this one is great too. I enjoyed it!

Hey Clint,

Thanks for that, I had fun doing it and it was a challenge to try a different vocal technique, usually when I sing in that register, I'm close to yelling or screaming and because of that song I am now enjoying more controlled vocals at a higher range.

Well Accel you have found another favotite person of mine here Tricia smile

Another cool collab, this is so great to see & hear. I have never seen a forum where so much of this kind of thing goes on, it's is just plain cool.

Man I could have sworn I heard Don Henley singing this in there somewhere smile
Tell me that he wouldn't be perfect, but Accel was perfect to great job guys.

I have no nits except the actual title and chorus connection didn't hit home for me lyrically.

I probably would have felt more comfortable without the actual title
Say maybe "The Fear Of Falling" or something. Just sounds cooler to me But the tune was still clever and well crafted
The word stupid just stood out too much for the singer.
Couldn't help but think Don Henley and if this was an Eagle's song they may use that word but maybe not in such a standout place. Maybe it lightened up the song to much for me.

I did write a song once called "Lets Keep It Simple" smile

Sweet groove & very well done!


Thanks!
Peace Mike

Outstanding job both of you!!!
It works well for me, and the only thing that is tickeling my brain, is a funkier organ sound, and maybe a touch grittier on the guitar.
the female vocalist for this is also a fine idea! smile

Tricia & Accel,

What a great co-write...here I am late to a blues party...unreal, but sometimes the daily bump and grind to rake in some Loonies and Toonies just gets in the way...eh...

Just love it as is...great vocal..and great arrangment for the lyrics, which Accel has a real talent for...but the guitar lead is missing... smile

Trish, I know you love the blues, but I think this one could work as a country song as well...Gretchin, Shania, etc...

Hello Accelerator and Tricia,

Nice song you two, I too thought it would benefit from a pick up in tempo, which is more noticeable in the chorus. If you know any female back up singers I thought it would be cool during the chorus and kind of funny too, I can just hear them singing 'keep it simple, stupid'! Maybe you could even work it out to have your voice and some female back up singers providing the counterpoint lyrically, just an idea,

Hey Sub,

I agree, Tricia is great and so are her lyrics.

Thanks for the Henley analogy, he has always been an inspiration for me and the true songwriting talent behind the Eagles - hands down!

About the title chorus connection, I was wondering about that in the KISS is a buzz that has integrated itself into the regional lexicon. I went on a hunch that it was a well known North American saying.

"The Fear Of Falling" would've made a great title, but I kept hearing "keep it simple stupid" playing on the radio station in my head all week long. The only way for me to get it off heavy rotation was to record it. lol

I'd love to hear your song "Lets Keep It Simple"!

Send me the link.

Thanks again for dropping by, I always look forward to hearing from you!

Hey Joanne,

Thanks for that wonderful remark!

I hear you singing it!

Thanks for listening and let me know if you'd like to sing this, I'll send you the mp3 without the lead vox and you can get real sassy wit it! Change it up, do what you want!

Just a thought,

Hey Ernest,

Yes, I couldn't agree with you more, it's just that I have been going through a writing hurricane and so much is coming so fast that I can hardly keep up! I've just written about 15- 20 R&B songs in varying stages of completion and they all have funkier organ and grittier guitar, so it was just a change up thing for me at this point.

Hopefully Joanne will do it and then you'll get to hear the way this piece should be delivered!

Thanks for listening and sharing your ideas Ernest,

Hey Tom thanks,

Trish's lyrics gave me that real smoky bar late hour feel.

I was saying to myself as I was recording this "I wonder what Tom'll think about this one?" on more than one occasion - honestly!

Glad you like it Tom thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Tom, I love country as much as I love the blues. Seriously. If it's music and I can relate to it, I like it. Thanks, for taking the time to listen and comment. Country is very alternative & pop these days. You never really know what influence you'll hear unless it's Alan Jackson, Randy Travis, Travis Tritt, Loretta Lynn or Dolly Parton. They pretty much stay true to the trad sound. Tim McGraw, Brad Paisley and Trace Adkins had an unmistakable trad sound but they like theirs poppish, on occasion. Keith Urban is getting to be alternative sounding. Anyway, so much for the essay on who's doing what!! LOL! I can get carried away.


"Grits is one of those country-boy words that is both singular and plural-like deer, elk and sheep. I think the singular is appropriate when there's a modifier that makes it clear one is talking about something specific. Like, 'Grits are good for you, but these here grits is tasty.'"~~Joe Wrabek

Hey Accel and Tricia,

Guys, what what a smooth track. Accel, if it was any more bluesy and slow, it would be going backwards ! Very cool arangement, sleazy, it's great. Nice changes and intersting licks make it a very listenable tune.

Kaley, you're so blonde ! smile Click on the Kiss !

cheers, niteshift

Thanks for listening Michael,

I had a lot of fun recording this, but I find the lyric is the true power and initiating force behind the music!
