Hello, kiddies.  I finished this a little while back, but never uploaded it. It's a followup track to the original For Lisa track which i uploaded back late October.

You should know that this is actually a semi-live performance, all mic'd up and plugged into the machine, played in one take, and then played it while miss Lisa was present.  Later, I went back over it with the layered vocals to make it more like I intended it to sound.

Anyway, due to this "live" element, the track as a whole isn't very perfect   For instance, I've got some serious breathing into the mic going on in a spot or two, and at the end of the second chorus, i defniitely moved away from the mic enough to muffle the sound of my voice.  In the end, I decided to leave the imperfections, as they represent the moment to me.  If I were to redo those parts, I'd always remember how the actual base performance was different than I'm giving to you here.

My intention for uploading this track has nothing to do with a processed professional performance.  I'm just letting you see the most recent outcome of what I've been up to.  If I were to ever get popular by some fluke in pop culture, I'll maybe redo it and make it more "acceptable" to the general public

For Lisa (Happy Endings or Bust) (semi live)

So we're here now with the ones you love
My body's worn out,
and the trip was crazy
We'll have to sit down and talk about it
It's hard to explain, you know
I wish you could have been there

The hard part now is knowing what you'll need for when they ask you,
"How are you?  Because you look like somebody is missing you..."
And the hardest things to say might be something like,
where you could be one year from today

They catch us singing the songs from yesterday;
the ones from long lost friends,
and ones that we've left behind
Breathe in deep--
We've got no regrets,
but your voice with mine,
it's just sent chills down this spine

The hard part now is knowing what you'll need for when they ask you,
"How are you?  Because you look like somebody is missing you..."
And the hardest things to say might be something like,
where you could be one year from today

A little lost, a little lonely,
we've got to stay strong
Hold out until we're found again

What you want is everything to the heart of the boy on the bench over there
He's miles away
He thinks about you every day
Who you are means everything to the heart of the kid who's lost without you
You're miles away,
as if forever away

So, the hard part now is knowing what you'll need for when they ask you,
"How are you?  You look like somebody is missing you..."
And the hardest things to say might be something like,
where you could be one year from today

this is really good! you have a natural voice..good harmonies..the guitar sounds good also, i love how you raise your voice in the song, its got a good feel to it...good good brill....rated

This does have that live performance sound to it....I guess it is from the one track take...I notice a few timing issues...and possibly some off key vocals...But I do know about being off key....This has a lot of feeling in it Tim... a lot of emotion...good live feel to it...I do like the harmony also...the song has a decent flow to it too..Somewhat of a Neil Young influence I hear here also


Nice work
