Here's a song I just got done writing it's kind of a story/tribute to my fathers and grandfathers generation. This is stripped with down acoustic bass vocal only. I'm still editing a few lines here and there and after it's done I hope to have a properly recorded version soon BTW this is the fist song I've written after a year of some serious writers block http://www.reverbnation.com/tunepak/2412816Man Out Of Time He don’t believe in anything He hasn’t seen with his own eyes He’s seen so many things That you could only fantasize He likes his meat and potatoes A smoke to wash it down Believes a man should put food on the table Stand up be strong and live proud Chorus:He’s a man out of time Nowhere to go is his only crime Like a fish out of water at the end of the line He’s a man a man out of time He believes in honor He learned in on the battlefield When he was called to arms He won a fight that will never heal But now the world has changed so much Seems nobody means what they say Sometimes he thinks of Margaret touch tonight he’ll dream about her again Chorus: He’s a man out of time Nowhere to go is his only crime Like a fish out of water at the end of the line He’s a man a man out of time Bridge Tomorrow he will wake up And thank god for one more day And like he’s done almost every day of his life he’ll pray

Hi Dave: Very nice song - your vocal is really suited to it. Some great lines in there - lyric is nicely written. Only line that gave me pause was "fight that will never heal". I know what it means but it took me out of it for a second. Not sure anyone but a writer would be bothered by it. And maybe even most writers wouldn't be.  Is there going to be a bridge lyric? Looking forward to hearing this when you get it "done up". Scott

The bridge does have lyrics but I omitted it for this acoustic version, I'm doing it with my band but it doesn't have the same effect doing the bridge acoustically. Thanks

Thanks for the replies guys
My wife said the same thing about the "heals" line so I'll work on that. I'm thinking something about scars and heal
Does it bother anybody that the opening line is "He don't believe in anything he hasn't seen with his own eyes" yet he does because he has faith in God? Or am I nit picking too much?
I could say "He don't believe in many things he hasn't seen with his own eyes" but then I'd have to change the "He's seem so many things" line

Nice tune, good singing. Hopefully this will unleash the flood of songs that have been backed up for a year! Welcome to the JPF, if I haven't already said hello.

I have no problem with the seeing is believing issue since your Man has seen many things I can only fantasize about - God could easily be one of 'em.

Nicely done. The upfront sound of the guitar and vocals is well recorded. Nice vocal tone but your don't hit the high notes.
