Pull up a chair brother, I’ll spin you a tail turn loose the metaphors like great white whales. Let them swim in your stream of consciousness like cells in primordial slime. And see what evolves and learns how to climb.
And if I can show you the error of my ways , help you avoid some heart ache while Peter’s music plays, Maybe the broken pieces of my ego will be like crumbs of bread, Left to mark a pathway you should chose not to tread,
Might keep you from wandering too close to love’s cliff,
There’s a reason they call it ‘Falling’ cuz so many of us slip
Dashed on the rocks below and carried out to sea
Flotsam or jetsam; one of those is me.
So keep an eye on your feet – they should stay on the ground
Keep your ears open for that breathless sighing sound
If it’s not in stereo, it could be just you – and mono is a desiese not
A sign that love is true.
It takes two to tango and don’t ever waltz alone
Does she make half the calls or is it always you who phones?
Don’t dig yourself in deeper if she’s not equally smitten
Trust me on this, I’m more than twice bitten
Jealousy won’t help it just leaves a bruise - a place you can’t touch
Even after the truce - no one wants a heart beaten black with blues
So many broken wings, so many missed cues.
Before you sign your heart away, look for phrases she’s omitted
Relationships and asylums are both for the committed.
Love’s a game that’s lost by both the wise and the slow witted.

Peter M was kind enough to provide me with this track to try a new type of vocal over. Peter did ALL the music and mix work - just my vocal and lyric.

Very nice blues tune. Love the title, the bluesy leads, and fabulous hook. Love your wordsmithing.

I like this! The narrated vocal's phrasing and timing is right on well as the gritty tone in your voice is just right for this bluesy, smokey song. Narration like this is hard to do and you've pulled it off seamlessly. Peter's playing goes without saying but it is a perfect backdrop that he's layed down. Really good guys!

Not sure how this qualifies as a capella, but the tune itself is smooth and engaging. Did you actually put on a deep red velvet tuxedo to perfom the narration? It's always good to be surprised when the "ears are open". Production is impeccable here. All the levels are great.

yeah jazzy keys, tasty bluesy guitar and very cool vocal delivery! this is a fun little number!
PeterM's Beaten black with Blues is a great blues track with the added sweet spoken word element that gets one's mind thinking about so many cool ideas and imagery.
The music is definitely top notch blues laden with professional performances in all departments.
The instrumentation is classy !!!!
I like this parlance into internal/external dialogue.....
Great music for my tastes !!!!
Cheers,

I never thanked you guys for saying such nice things about the VERY DIFFERENT vocal style ... and again , a huge thank you to Peter for letting me go out on a limb with his cool song - I enjoyed building the lyric as much as I did creating the um... alternate vocalist .
