Another Work tape from Jeffery. He claims he can't sing and wants to do a better take but said it'd be alright to share. Thanks Jeff. Hope you all like this one.

Returning A Favor
© 2009 Kevin Pearson/Jeffrey Socia


I said the car's got a little dent
and I'm stuck out here in this field
Dad, It wasn't much of an accident
but you don't know how bad I feel


First dirt road off highway two
He said he'd be there right away
ended up with mud all over his shoes
As I thanked him I heard him say

CHORUS
I'm just returning a favor to my old man
It's the kinda thing he used to do
Just a promise I made to him
Now it's my turn to follow through
If anyone ever kept track
I'd sure have plenty to give back
Just returning a favor


Never seemed he could do enough
Always there with a helping hand
Though he never really had much
he gave as much as any man


Now he needs just a little care
and it's my turn to help him instead
I ran a comb across his gray hair
he turned to thank me and I said

CHORUS
I'm just returning a favor to my old man
It's the kinda thing you used to do
Just a promise I made to you
Now it's my turn to follow through
If anyone ever kept track
I'd sure have plenty to give back
Just returning a favor

BRIDGE
Life's not so hard to understand
When my kids grow up some day I hope I hear them say....

CHORUS
I'm just returning a favor to my old man
It's the kinda thing he used to do
Just a promise I made to him
Now it's my turn to follow through
If anyone ever kept track
I'd sure have plenty to give back
Just returning a favor

I love this Kevin,

Jeffery's voice is great on it despite what he thinks.

Lovely sentiment for the subject. really nice take on the father/son relationship.

Hi Kevin and Jeff,

The story turns into something special with "Now he needs just a little care/and it's my turn to help him instead"

Jeff, you hit a clunker now and then, but that doesn't make you not a good singer, it makes you human! You certainly impart much feeling to the lyric without being cloying in any way, and I think with more time and effort you will gain more confidence in your abilities. Know your material inside and out. Then, know it some more! Then, figure out some relaxation techniques, cuz you will find you are MOST in control of your singing when you are stone cold relaxed....

nice job guys,

Mike

Hi guys,

Well done, and GREAT subject matter.
I'm into the bridge.
Thanks for sharing your talent with us.

Very nice "circle of life" song guys.

The straight-to-the-point lyric and the honest vocal delivery give this a lot of power. Well, that plus the fact that most can relate.

I really like your vocal, Jeff - maybe just the last note on the bridge needs tweeked.

Good one guys - it hits soft, which is the way to go with this, I think.

Scott

Andy,

I appreciate your comments. I really like the energy you put into you songs. Jeff is that way too I think.
