Same Thing (raw)

I wrote this song for my friends that can't handle their alcohol. This is a very raw mix from our recording session this past Saturday. (lyrics inside)

• play
• pause
• min volume
• max volume

We got all the tracks laid down that we wanted to do, but there wasn't a chance to mix much before we quit for the night. Some of the songs sound pretty good already, so I'll post a few while we work on the final mix.

Same Thing
It’s a great night
I drink it up and yell for more
Ya know I feel right
I run this joint and that’s for sure
But by the last light
When folks are headin’ for the door
Things get uptight
And somehow I end up on the floor

I never know why
I don’t make it through to the end
Could be the wrong guy
I said the wrong thing to, my friend
Or maybe I’ll buy
Five fifths of the finest gin
I’ll drink the well dry
‘Til my friends are pickin’ me up again

(chorus)
It’s the same thing every time
And it’s weighin’ hard on my mind
Seems no matter how hard I try
It’s the same thing every time

In the morning
The tales are waiting there for me
Without a warning
And no excuse that I can see
Sometimes I worry
‘Bout the crazy things that I've done
But there’s no hurry
Right now I’m having too much fun

For a "raw mix" that's pretty damn solid. Red On Strike pretty much kicks ass. As I look at your photos, which one is you?

Thanks, snsranch. We were trying to capture our live sound as much as we could and we keep it pretty simple, so it doesn't take a lot of studio wizardry to get a good sound.

Yeah, sounds great for a "raw mix".
