Had a bit of a dry period lately and then managed to drag this one out.
Not sure if the mix is right yet.
Your comments appreciated.
Just changed the mix and arrangement slightly on SOUNDCLOUD but NOT on Soundclick.

Lucky Heart © Vic Arnold 2014

You act so arrogant, like you're invincible,
You think you're being hot but you ain't so cool.
Look at all the time you have wasted .....with your lying.
You took her happiness and ..... left her ..... crying.
Now you have a chance to make it right.

ch
I think you got a lucky heart. Keep it with you.
Take care of your lucky heart. She forgives you.

You played around a lot. She went along with you.
You think you're quite a catch but you are just a fool.
There's competition waiting ..... just round the corner.
Look over your shoulder ..... someone should ..... warn yah
you got one more chance to make it right.

ch
I think you got a lucky heart. Keep it with you.
Take care of your lucky heart. She forgives you.

You came out tops this time but time's running out on you

Take care of your lucky heart. She forgives you.
Repeat chorus

I think you got a lucky heart
I think you got a lucky heart

Hey Vic,

Paul nailed it. I definately can see Petty performing this tune. I love the country stuff and historical storytelling you do. That being said, this seems quite different from what I have heard from you in the past and I really really dig it. Very enjoyable listen.

Well, Janice and I are both major league Tom Petty fans (own his entire catalog) so we were loving this from the get go. I think the mix supports the vocal very well and the lyric is wonderful. The whole notion of somebody taking care of their lucky heart is perfect. Simple on the surface but inventive and deeper when you reflect on it. Your vocal nailed the feel. A good one!!

I love your money line 'lucky heart,' and actually I just love the word lucky and the concept of being lucky. Put together with 'heart,' it's ear candy.

I really think this is a good song. If I had to critique something I would complain about the backup vocals- they seemed a touch weak. Maybe slightly off time or off key or something.

I like your phrasing and I like the enthusiasm in your guitar.

Vic,

Cool song. Great chorus. Nice job on the production. And really nice vocal! I think the drums should come up some to really drive it. The guitars are nice!

Very enjoyable.

Yes more of the drums as Floyd suggested but I did like the rockin' guitar and great vocal too.
Not Johhny Cash this time more like Bruce Springsteen or Tom Petty!
Overall a good song which I hope again someone will take up

I'll look again at the backing vocals. I am at the top end of my range though so it may be a tad off.

Hey Vic!

Cool song. I like how it jumps out of the box with a great line to grab your attention--"You act so arrogant!" I like this song's arrangement too.

Is it possible for me not to offer a sug? Just remember I'm more likely to offer a sug if I like it. I thought that the line "Look over your shoulder......someone should......warn ya," that you could consider inserting "maybe" before "someone." It immediately puts the "should" with the ending statement with that line--for a very brief moment I associated "should" with (someone should look over his shoulder) as I wasn't reading the lyrics closely. When you know "warn you" is coming, you wouldn't think of it, but the listener won't know what's coming the first time.

Nice performance Vic, enjoyed this song!

Good song, Vic. I saw Kim on Facebook compare your vocal to Neil Diamond and I think she nailed it.

Production wise, it needs something to make it sound bigger IMHO. Maybe another overdriven guitar track on the right duplicating the one on the left. Or more reverb and/or delay on the instrumental tracks and a bit more compression. Just a bit lifeless right now.

At my time of life a rocker means a comfy chair.
Thank you for your support. I'm still wearing it.

Thanks for the listen and comments Eddie.
I moved the "someone should" closer to "warn yah" now.

To be honest, I read the lyric and thought they were okay, maybe a bit cliched. Then, I listened. Suddenly, the whole thing came to life. Fantastic job all around on this one!

Vic,
Looks like I'm late to listening party on this one, but I love it. I think it's the best I've heard from you yet!!!! Greeat job on the production, the guitar playing was excellent, and the background vocals sounded fine to me (I listened to the new mix).

Again love this song,
Peace,
Aaron

I like the performance. The guitar break is awesome!
I felt like there was a mixed message in the lyrics...kind of like the singer doesn't like the person he's singing to, but he's wishing him well anyway. I was halfway (or maybe more) expecting the singer to be the "competition".

Hi Kurt.
You're almost right about the lyric but I see it more as a friend trying to get him to see sense.
Thanks for the visit and support.

Yes, I remember this. Warren Zevon!

Chorus is killer. Love the in your face vocal delivery.

Congrats on the top 10

Hey Vic, you have a unique voice, and from the comments I've read, no one can pin it down to just anyone familiar. That's a good thing. You're like a vocal chameleon.

You have a talent putting the bridge in the right spot. Great song.

Way to rock out, Dude!!! It does have a Tom Petty vibe or even a Traveling Wilbury's sound. Good stuff, Vic.

Thanks for that Ben.
I never wanted to sound like me ever since I first heard my first words on an old reel to reel tape recorder when I was about 12 years old. That was a year or two ago.

Stevie.
Good to hear you're back and thank you.
Well, I do like Tom Petty. Wilburys too.
Bugsey says I sound like Warren Zevon and I'm ashamed to say that up until he mentioned him I wasn't familiar with his work.
Maybe he's more known in the US.
Now I do though and I'm a fan.

Maybe on this planet we only exist in the eyes and ears of others.

Wow Vic... Never heard of Warren Z? One of the great American singer songwriters of our generation. I think your voice does sound like him in spots, what your doing is using a crooner voice to sing rock music. Thats what he did.

Sorry to derail your thread, good song, and keep listening to Warren Z he left us too soon.
