Great track, the vocals sound great.  Awesome quirky song.

Yeah, I know what you mean. Sometimes you just travel to the nearest town and it's like they're talking marsian...

another one where my likes, comments and reposts have disappeared. top tune. dear soundcloud...please stop deleting my appreciation of fine music 🤬

This song is based on two incidents that happened to me.  One I was on a boat with Scotsman and a German (I'm from the USA).  I was having difficulty understanding the other native English speaker (The Scotsman),  So the German helped me out by translating the Scots English to American English for me.  The other is me understanding my 3 year old Grandson.  Frequently his mother (my daughter) had to translate the 3 years old English for me.

This is a collaboration between myself and Dave Cooper (warfydave).  I wrote the lyrics.  Then Dave Cooper built the guitar chords and provided the melody and vocals.  I then completed it by adding the other instruments and mixing and mastering the song. 


Lyrics:  Can you help me out


Can you help me out
Can you translate for me, I don’t understand?  
I hear the words but I don’t know what they mean  
They sound so familiar but the meaning eludes me  
 
Chorus 
Can you help me out?  
Can you help me understand?  
Can you help me make meaning of these words?  
    
Can you help me out?  
Can you help me understand?
I don’t understand x 3 - what I’ve heard
 
I don’t understand what is being said  
I try to make sense of these words  
Try as I may I do not understand them
 
Well thanks for the help
The world’s better place
We talk and it makes sense
Translation, oh it’s so helpful

Can You Help Me Out (with Warfydave)

Dear SoundCloud friends.  This is the place where I locate my country, bluegrass, folk, jazz, and blues oriented songs:  roots music.  You will find this music rougher and not as polished as the music I place elsewhere.  This is where I will host music with a more wooden feel.  As always I am very interested in collaborating with my fellow musicians.

I encourage you to visit the sites of the musicians with whom I have collaborated on this page:
