Thing a Week 19 - So Far So Good
There is no funny here, so don’t bother looking. This is a breakup song, or maybe just something about the end of an old thing and the beginning of a new thing. Pretty sparse arrangement, but I’m digging the heck out of the guitar part in the left ear - minor 9th! Also, watch out for the bridgey solo section, lest you be frightened by the sudden appearance of the Ghostly Banjo ™. If you are a movie director who is currently on the set of “Tootsie 2: Still Mannish!”, you may want to call my lawyer to discuss licensing this song for the credits.

WOW!! That was beautiful. That was such a wonderful melody and arrangement. Please tell me you will put that on your next album.
You sir are the master.

I really like this song, nice melody and the lyrics are solid. That’s also awesome how you can use “suckers” in a song like this and still keep the feel of it (if that makes sense). Very good.

Tootsie 2: Still Mannish. Man, I would stay til the end of the credits of that film to hear this song. Good stuff.

Such a lovely, heartbreaking song. Also, it reminds me a bit of the title track Paul McCartney did for the Vanilla Sky soundtrack.
(Try to focus on the fact that I just compared you to McCartney, not that I just referenced a mediocre Cameron Crowe film. Heh.)

The style of this song reminds me a lot of early early Hall & Oates. Which I love. Thanks for the song!

Please get your code monkey to fix the link to the lyrics on the “Songs” page. Also “Drive” while he’s at it. Thanks!
