un-f******-believable.  just gorgeous.  (how did you do those horns?)

Roger, you're one of my songwriting heroes.  I always feel like part of what we should be doing in SWU is not simply praising, but also offering observations on what could improve the song.  With you...I got nothing.  Your lyrics, your singing, your arrangement, your sensibility in structure are all impeccable.  Ok: I got something: it ends too soon and you fade it out, probably because this is still scratch to you.  There.  I gave a critique.   Seriously dude, especially with your fight & recovery, I am such a fan and an admirer.  Keep the faith.  As you do.

Duh do I need to say it?  Thank you again for making my literal favorite sh*t.  And not charging me for it.

Here's a song I wrote and played.

In the beginning
I played it cool
I wasn't trying
Be be some lovesick fool

When you'd come near me
I'd go out of my way
Turn my attention
Not to hear what you'd say

Oh but love finds a way
And Cupid wore me down
And now I know what I'm here for
I was meant to be your clown

Oh and now it's so much better
Than I ever thought that it could be
If I could roll back time, love I would never
'Cause I wouldn't want to change a single thing

Gave my lonely life new meaning
Turned my heavy heart around
You gave me hope that's worth believing
That a man like me could turn this thing around

Yeah love finds a way
And Cupid wore me down
And now I know what I'm here for
I was made to be your clown

Oh and now it's so much better
Than I ever thought that it could be
If I could roll back time, love I would never
'Cause I wouldn't want to change a single thing

A Single Thing

Hello Souncloudians!  This is a bit of an experiment for me.  I am lucky enough to play & record music with the band Mingo Fishtrap.  That is 99% of my musical life.  But there are lots of songs that get written that don't make it to the Mingo records, and demos of songs and tidbits that do make it, but I like the demo, because they're raw, or funny, or whatever.  So I've decided I'd post some here.  Feel free to download and send other folks here. But I'd appreciate it if you didn't distribute the tunes, cuz I'd like to keep track of how many ears are listening.  
This is also where the songs for songwriting groups I'm in might end up...might be private, cuz they usually aren't ready for prime time. But if you want to listen, drop a line.
