Cool sound work with the organ and the guitar and the vocal production; also that's a great message to put out there, hopefully will reach the ears that need to hear it most be it directly or indirectly. Great work on the song!

So many people that put up with bad behavior, being scorned and ridiculed and still find a way to smile and make the rest of us feel better. This song is for all of you.

This is based on the same drum track as DystOpia. Stoney sent a drum track that eventually became two different tracks - one more grungy (DystOpia) and this one a little more organ heavy. I asked Eric to come up with something different for this tune and boy did he deliver the goods.

TOUGH AS NAILS

Tough as nails
You fall down
Tough as nails
You rise again
Tough as nails
Your body a scar
Your spirit, your soul, your mind
It’s too hard to find
The time, the peace, the will
You reach down deep
You take a leap
You’re tough as nails
You’re tough as nails

Through the thick and thin
Through the good times and bad times
It all fades away
Through the quips and shame
The looks and sighs
Fade away….

Tough as nails
You rise again
Tough as nails 
You fall down
Gentle soul
You lift us up
Kind heart 
Never let us down
The sorrow, the sadness and pain
Washed away….
Your touch and your smile
Your smile
You’re tough as nails

Through the thick and thin
Through the good times and bad times
It all fades away
Through the quips and shame
The looks and sighs
Fade away….

And they just can’t see
And they don’t understand
They don’t understand you at all

And they just can’t see
And they don’t understand
They don’t understand you at all

Fade away, fade away, fade away…..

Thanks for visiting. This is a retro eclectic music mix with a strong keyboard base.  Looming influences from among others Iggy Pop, David Bowie, Lou Reed & Jon Lord. The songs are mostly about the human condition.

I am always looking for a guitar player that wants to collaborate. Would be fun to find a real drummer also.

A Gat is a cat in Catalan - it all makes sense if you’re me.

To all of you likers and reposters that don't listen - what's the point?
