1) When you’re down and feelin' nothin' ...better give into somethin' ...I don’t know what to tell you to do ...just try believin' in somethin' ...it’s better than nothin' ...I’ll be here to help you through
Change:
What you gonna do ...I'll play the fool ...Is this what I need to do ...for you ...for you
2) When you're feelin like cryin' ...you say you’d rather be dyin' ...I can’t imagine what you'd want me to do ...better days beyond your sorrow ...to believe beyond tomorrow ...I'll be here to help you through

Gotta be confident to put out a nice stripped back piece like this, but you got it spot on. Vocal is right out there and is up to the test. Nice song well sold. Good stuff indeed.

That's how it's done!

I love the simple arrangement and the straight to the point emotional reach. Quite melodic.

A lot of emotion in your vocal. It's the kind of performance that draws the listener into the song. Sometimes a couple of guitars and a vocal is all it takes... and you nailed it!

I feel this tune. Very nice.

ECLECTIC ACOUSTIC ROCK is the fundamental component of all you'll find here! Guitars (acoustic and electric)... tailored bass lines topped off with softly accentuated emotive vocals, solos and riffs... noting: you never know when you'll find keyboards to smoothen rougher edges (piano, organ, strings). *after all details have been (refined?) I find the best drummer(s) to bring it all home. BTW: I am a Solo "Studio" Artist (A Multi-Instrumentalist)
Melodic Side... Pink Floyd, Supertramp, Journey, Elton John, Cat Stevens, Lobo, Bread, Kansas and my heavier side... Black Sabbath, early Rush, Judas Priest and Def Leppard are major influences but as I see it my overall musical "Watering Hole" runs deep!! Folks who love the acoustic guitar, an unapologetic love for the 70/80's and early MTV stuff adding a (getting older?) modern folksier, singer, songwriter, cross-over (countryish?) feel... seem to like what's happening here. Ha! Honestly I'm whatever you decide I am!! \m/
* I've used backing tracks to present and perform my songs as close to what I felt when writing them. The live show is myself (vocal and acoustic or electric guitar) in either a duo or trio styled group; I tend to shy away from the one man acoustic show; but it has happened.

Haha I'm not sure if this is how it's done here... but thanks for the kind reviews @steve-bramer, @farrell-jackson, and @lodato
