 Nice working with you Basket Case


"Just Like You"


Verse 1
The miles go by
with a blink of an eye
maybe I should have taken a flight
but
all this driving
should ease my mind
and give me time to think about the
letter my son wrote
the letter he wrote to me
he wrote to me

Chorus
he said
Daddy are you comming to see me
I'm doing so well in school
and I'm playing for the baseball team
oh, Daddy

Verse 2
he called me on the phone
to say
remember our rides
I sat on your on your lap
to drive
and you turned on the radio songs
although we tried his momma and I didnt get along
no we didnt get along


Chorus
and he said
Daddy are you comming to see me
I've out grown all the marks on the wall
and
Daddy are you comming to see me

Instrumental

Verse 3
as he was falling asleep
on my arm
I told him and I love him
and I missed him
he said
Dad I want to be
just like you

     that was       absolutely 

             BEAUTIFUL.....

    It was a very touching vocal performance...  I like the added vocals in the chorus...   made it much fuller, and even added to the overall emotion of the song...  Your vocals sound very vulnerable on this track...  more so than the first version...    I think you really tried to put yourself into the first person on this one...  well done bro...

very great as always flyer...vocals are a bit to up front at times but a very good emotional piece

liked it..
touchy i must say..
the voice recording is a bit low quality..
but good work!!

got my vote!

Thanks rdobson...yeah I think I have kicked the vocals up a lil to much in the mix...not only on this song  but a few others...some people commented that the vocals were to far in the back...now I'm being told they are to far up in the front..Ill figure the right balance I hope in future songs.....Thanks Buddy


Thanks Kasa...I agree with your comment...Mixing is my weak point in production..I thank you for your comment

Flyer

    You captured how kids Idolize Mom & Dad.....(from a dad's view)....Cool

I voted!

I still say you coulda been famous!
