I like it the guitar and vocals remind me of Pink Floyd. [via https://sc.repostexchange.com]

This song is a little different from the other song that you sent me but it is still pretty good.

I'm a big fan of midwest emo, so this is my try to put in it.

Here's a track about the belief that it is impossible to make something new. I don't believe in it personally but I thought it was a cool concept. I hope you all enjoy it. \Rock n' Thrash/

P.S. here's a tighter mix of the song:

The Roads' Been Taken (EP Version)

A song about the people who come and go in our  lives.  Some of them stick around for a while, some share a road with you for some time and then go away on their own path.  We cross paths with them again sometimes.  Some leave this world forever and are never gotten, we’ll see them on the other side some day.  No matter what path you take, rock on!

Matty Harper (aka Gedd Flea) is featured on bass for this track.  He's an old friend of mine from when I lived in NY.  Matt recently visited for a week while we laid tracks during the day and hit the bars for open mics each night.  This song is a product of that week.

Verse

Visitors come into my life
Some stay for a while
[riff]
Share some time until we part our ways
And then we go, 
my destiny’s on another road

Chorus

Time goes on
People come and people go
Some will be back some day
Ooo, Rock on
See you on the other side some day
It’s time to go and find my way

Verse

This is the strangest life I’ve ever known
Some stay the same
Others adapt to the road they’re on
It’s been a while since I last saw you
Don’t recognize me?
I’ve been this way 20 years today

[Chorus]
Bridge 1
We’re all visitors, none of us will stay
All on the journey but on a different path
What happened to those people?  Are they only in your past?
Some left, you left, lives in motion
Some climbed the ladder, some got married, some got divorced, some left this world.
You better do it all while you’re living today
Cause you never ever know when it will be your time to go
[Guitar solo]

Bridge 2
I shared a road with some who aren’t here today.
Their paths cut short when they hit a dead end.
Patriots lost their life in a foreign land, others went to work and died in a pile or ruble.

One had a heart attack, another lost to cancer, some saved lives while others protected
There’s one who went to jail, one blessed as a preacher,
Another smokes pot and plays a mean bass.

[Chorus]

Rock On

could have been me

I woke up one morning thinking someone should write a country song called "Deleted Scenes"... decided it may as well be me...

DELETED SCENES

this has all the makings of a
contradiction,
a twist of truth, a turn of fate, a shred of fiction
and though you missed the casting call
it seems you hooked the leading role again… 

this has all the trappings of an 
end of season
it's introducing characters
but one is leaving
it seems the plot is all wrapped up
when it should have been the making of us

now you’re in your pole position
the role I play an imposition
the words have all just been rewritten
my exit line just exposition…
you’ll see me in the making of
or maybe in deleted scenes
perhaps there’ll be a making of
worth seeing…

this has all the makings of a grand finale
a question mark is hanging over every party
when it could have been the making of
should have been the making of us…

no season’s ever everlasting
the rumour is that you’re recasting
there’s someone standing in the wings
to take the cues and steal the scenes
I’ll see you in the making of
or maybe in deleted scenes
it should have been our making of
but the cut is all I’ve seen 

at least we’ll see in the making of…
the big reveal in the making of…
that all along we were making
deleted scenes…

Deleted Scenes

Broken

Oh Gus, what have you got yourself into this time?

For two years I slept with a rattle snake in my bed;
my first wife! My first wife!

Chicken? This doesn't taste like chicken,
it tastes like soup!

C-H-I G-G I-N-S, C-H-I G-G I-N-S, CHIGGINS!

Oh sweet Jezebel, why are you so sweet?

I've been called dirty, lazy, smelly, shifty, cooky, 
spooky, and chinese! (Cinnamon and Gravy!)
But one thing I ain't never been called is dumb!

I think you need to learn some manners!
Cinnamon and gravy! Oh peaches!

I'd be more worried about coyotes if I were yer.

C-H-I G-G I-N-S, C-H-I G-G I-N-S, CHIGGINS!
