I posted this lyric a number of months ago at JPF and have recently finished the recording. Have a listen! I Got No Time - The Audio File You come to me in flavored light a breath of Spring, a starry night I call your name and you will always answer. Fire dances on your hair and in your eyes I see me there. We both smile and dear, my heart grows faster. I've been searching years a way to right a million wrongs, this human way I am and look, I found it in this song. Oh I got no time for sticks and balls, flashy cars or alcohol. I got no time for nothin' babe but you. I sleep with you a fragrant leaf that fell in Autumn at my feet and like that leaf we kept it as a treasure. Between the pages of a book we never read or understood and if we did then, babe, I don't remember. Oh, I've been searching years a way to right a million wrongs, this human way I am and look, I found it in this song I got no time for other girls, no, not a care in this old world. I got no time for nothin' babe but you. We talk tonight of me and you of tears and laughter, friends we knew but still wonder darlin' what we're sayin'. cos' I am amazed, I'm hypnotized I hear no sound but realize you kiss me once and ohhh, my heart is swayin' I've been searching years a way to right a million wrongs, this human way I am and look, I found it in this song I got no time for sticks and balls no flashy cars or alcohol I got no time for nothin' babe but you I got no time for other girls no, not a care in this old world I got no time for nothin' babe but you. ------------------ "I've heard the allegations and I know who the alligators are." ~ Jake Campbell

Nice and refreshing change to hear something with a bit of a latin feel on here! Unfortunately I found it very frustrating to listen to in buffered bursts because I'm on a modem. I REALLY wish you had a download option so I could have a proper listen! But from what I can hear.......
The lyrics are great. The arrangement is very cool. The singing is perfect for the song. The production is amongst the best I've heard around here.
Very impressive, Duncan!
oops... I just found the download option - duhhhhh LOL

Agree with Simon
Great latin feel and I liked the stop - but it would be more effective nearer the middle than the end be; I was waiting too long for it
Although the mix balance is very good the backing vocals at the end (after the stop) were coming out of my mix at the front where the Main Vocal should be (unless it was the main vocal lyrics "got no time.."?)
Lovely jubbly stuff
Really enjoyable and fun listen
Tony

This song's energy made me smile. And just when I was wanting some harmonies, there they were. Not too few, not too many, but j-u-u-u-u-st right. So how does a newbie like me find out HOW you did this? Did you make this all yourself, or did you have help? Live music or not? Thanks for the tune.

Hi Anne! It was recorded on Cool Edit Pro. The drums are programmed, the keys play all the horn parts, and there are two acoustic guitars somewhere in the mix. All harmonies were done by me, myself and me bud, Aaron Lewis. Thank you for the kind words!

I like it Duncan, at first I was listening and wanted something more. I don't know. something in the explanation was missing. (maybe cuz of your second verse about the book) But the farther I got into it, the more I thought, "never mind, I just like the vibe." ![[Linked Image]](http://www.justplainfolks.org/ubb/biggrin.gif) Very cool vibe. just gets ya dancin! ------------------ Harriet http://www.soundclick.com/bands/9/harrietamesmusic.htm

Thanks for the encouraging comments. I'm not completely happy with with vocal track. I just think I could do better. I'm not sure if I'm going to get the chance do re-record it, or to do some copy and pasting. Still, thank you for listening and for not noticing (or not mentioning) the vocal problems.
