Hi,
Been away for a while looking after a sick partner so apologies for lack of reviews etc.
Just starting to get back to normal so thought I would finish off one of my many unfinished projects.
It's called 'Love's Played A Joke On Me'

https://soundcloud.com/morefrog-jones/loves-played-a-joke-on-me-demo


Lyrics
You deal in beautiful illusions - I deal in wrong conclusions.
I deal with the consequences - Cant keep on building fences with you.
You gave me apprehensions - No time for second guessing now.
I didn't see it coming - but you've made a fool of me some how.

Now my heart has caught up with my mind
The fog has begun to subside
All the dreams died that you promised.
I loved last
You laughed the longest

Loves played a joke on me
Loves played a joke on me
Where the hell was cupid did he have a bad day?
Its a sick kind of humour that sent you my way.
Theres one new fool born everyday
Because loves played a joke on me.

Disappointment stalks me - like a mischievous shadow
Mocking me as I go - the star of my own side show.
I cant work out my next move - whats the lesser of two evils?
I dont know whats coming next - But I dont want to see the sequel.

I saw all your promises bounce
Nothing seemed to happen by chance
All your feelings were all on account.
You were laughing all the way to the bank.

Loves played a joke on me
Loves played a joke on me
Where the hell was cupid did he have a bad day?
Its a sick kind of humour that sent you my way.
Theres one new fool born everyday
Because loves played a joke on me.

Hi Morefrog Jones,

A little bit straight start. Nice vocal and bass guitar. Back vocal at 1:52 onwards and at 3:01 comes at the same volume as your main vocal and creates a little distortion should I say?! Overall is a good idea for a tracks, but I would remove or would bring volume down of that back vocal.

Cheers.
Slava B.

Yo MoFo Jo.

Good to here that Stones vibe still shining bright!

I'm into short songs these days,so it may be just me,but I'd have ended the song shortly after 3 mins.

Some great lines in those lyrics ... I like the one about Cupid having a bad day in particular.
It's got a good dance-rock energy throughout. 
I wasn't sure the female backing vocals towards the end fitted though (was that a sample? felt like it was in a different key to me).
Groovy guitar overlays towards the end.
Overall I liked it a lot, certainly had my foot a-tapping... would like to hear it loud.
Welcome back MFJ, you return bearing gifts.
It's all too beautiful.
