I don't think I've ever posted in this section before but, I'm starting to bore myself with this one! I kind-a like it. It's fun to play. I reckon it would work well in a three-piece blues band (idealy one with a brass section). But it needs a lift (to the dump probably). I'm suffering.
This is a dead ruff recording arranged with scissors and Sellotape but I know a couple of 'ol boys who might be interested in recording it properly-ish for me when I'm happy with it. I like the lyric but the vocal melody is boring boring boring and there's something very out of tune about 'future' in the line 'I'm not thinkin' 'bout the future' (other out-of-tune examples are available) but I've tried alternatives and they all sound even worse. Perhaps I've got the wrong chord under it (Am7)? I'm trying to sing an 'A' ... should work shouldn't it? but it sounds so flat.

Why don't you love me like you used to
Why don't you comfort me tonight
I can see just what you're thinkin'
It's alright
You can leave me in the mornin'
You can stay all summer long
Let our friends do all the talkin'
And get it wrong
I'm not thinkin' 'bout the future
I'm not livin' in the past
I'm just right here in this moment
Knowing it won't last
I'll take love where it finds me
Where it found me once before
And I'll put my blues behind me
And think of them no more
I'm not saying that I'm loneley
I'm not saying I need a friend
I'm just askin' you to love me
Once again
