“It Ain’t With Me”
Words & Music by Thomas Tognaci

https://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=14642424


The lights are on, is there no one home?
I see a flickering light
Where have you gone? Am I on my own
with you high as a kite?

You’re always somewhere else, my darling
Somewhere lost in the stars
Maybe lost between our worlds
but wherever you are ….
it ain’t with me

The social scene with all its pretense
has always been something more you
The wolves convene and you jump the fence
to get a better view

You’re always there to spar, my darling
It’s never us, or we
It’s always you against the world
And, while you always agree ….
it ain’t with me

A once upon a long time ago
I fell for love and a face
We came undone in the undertow
and washed up in this place

You’re always to and fro, my darling
The changing tides, you say
You may come and go as you please
but if you come to stay
it ain’t with me

I think this is the most "country" sounding song I've heard you do.
Very nice!

I think I saw John Wayne on the beach pouring sand out of his boots once

Thanks for listening and commenting...........country? Maybe.
And I might have been mistaken, but I think I once saw an alien pop it's head out of the Rio Grand.

Lol...

Great job man , Best one from you yet . Probably more in the Alt country genre, then mainstream

Love the string hammering to get that groove going Tom...very nice and clean vocals and instruments...and nice harmoinica...

Don't "hear" country...more like british folk of the 70s and 80s


and really like the next one that plays...with those talented musers The Corking Crackers...
has strains of Sweet Home Alabama running through it

Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate it.


Thanks, John......I agree. This isn't supposed to be "country" Maybe just a slight seasoning of country, but definitely folk rock.


And thanks to you both for listening.... this place has lately become more of an AI exhibition.

Hi IronKnee,
I enjoyed listening to this one. The intro reminded me of a Simon and Garfunkel song. Your voice is a perfect fit. I love how deep it goes when you sing the hook line. The harmonica and the vocal harmonies are awesome. There's not much here that I would change. This is a great piece of art.

All the best - Robert

I really like this one Tom...I'm gettin' a 60's folk feel...Dylanesque...brilliant lyric...love the simplicity in the arrangement

Steve

Excellent Tom!

A solid ballad that lyrically is vague, yet that is cool given the title and allows the listener to imagine or relate in their own way. You have some great lines here. Your music chugs along like a like a horse's canter--smooth.....

Just a thought on one lyric: "Its always you against the world
And while you always agree.... (And when you finally do agree)
It ain't with me

Unless I'm missing the point, it would seem that if she's against the world in many views........she wouldn't be the type to "always" agree?


Great song Tom!

I'm glad you like this Rob........thanks for stopping by for a listen and comment.


Hi V....most all my stuff is simple. I'm glad you like it. Thanks for coming by!



Hey there Steady.....well, you see, with this woman, when it comes to our hero, it's her against the world......and everyone always seems to make their point with her. Except our hero. Our hero always seems to be on the losing side of the argument.

I hope this helps. Thanks for always listening and commenting......(I feel better already ;-) )
