Original - You Fooled Me Too

Unread post by HumbleMonkey » Fri Sep 08, 2006 9:53 am

again, the vocals are soft, not exactly how i would normally sing it but you get the idea how it should be.

You Fooled Me Too


And when you're falling I want to be on the ground
to help you touch down
And if I could fly I'd fly up to you faster before you fell down
But then you caught yourself before I got hold
you fool
You fooled me too

And you asked me to walk you in the dark
You said you needed some guidance to help
find where you had parked
But you had your own light to guide your through
Now I'm alone in the dark without you
you fool
You fooled me too

And you asked me to do a dance You said you'd come along too
I got dressed real nice and practice my moves and polished my shoes
But when the floor opened up
I was just doin my own groove
you fool
You fooled me too

And you dropped me a line saying you got something for me
I had something for you too
But when I asked to make it something special
I no longer heard from you
There was someone else there with you too
you fool
You fooled me too

Another good one by me. Even more dylan in this one with the added harmonica, which sounded great. Though I'm not a fan of dylans voice, his lyrics almost always make up for it, and i think you have the same quality. I think it's some great songwriting. Like others have said, you could use some work on your voice, but maybe that's just your style. i don't think it's a bad thing, as look where dylan is now. Keep up the good work though, as I'm enjoying it.

the rhythm on this one was good. but the vocals were really bad, at least in the first verse. they got better throughout the song, but the talking/singing thing is only going to take you so far, after a while they all start sounding like the same song. i think you should work on your singing voice and then you'll have a singing voice and the talking voice if you need it.

:lol: man i just listened to it for the first time, i dont think i listened to it after i recorded it. but wow i agree, it surprised me when i heard the first verse cause thats not even how i sing the song, that was just me just kinda mumbling it out. i can assure you with even my voice :lol: its not supposed to sound like that. thanks for pointing that out

I liked the song, and the harmonic fits in pretty well.
Maybe you can add kind of a Bridge, to change a little bit the sound somewhat in the song.

Just an idea.

Nice job!

I like the lazy style lyrics and the way you say ground at the beginning especially. really neat, original - unique. dig your style. cool pluckin' your a great story teller.

practicin' the moves...

your harmonica is a nice touch.
