Great lyrics and vibe - you're an inspiration my man.

@Rightly - Yet another superb song in your unique style, clear as a bell, I've noticed in your songs that you leave your LVox vocally unsupported, some BVox might work well in choruses, or passages of double tracked LVox might offer some contrast, hope this helps

Rich

Thanks for the feedback Rich.
I seem to be slowly getting more comfortable with what I know, still a long way to go.
I mean to look into the vocals and drums particularly in the coming months.
I know there's a lot more possibilities to be realised there.

I think you´ve invented a new style of spooky Rightly, at least with the intro-riff. This is a great example of superb musical ideas, compelling lyrics and exotic delivery layered over a quite simple blues song. You are also a poet - your lyrics are never bland or written carelessly - you are a proper wordsmith. It´s fantastically gripping stuff and yes, I do think you could make it. Two of my fav artists tonight, great way to finish off Saturday.

Thank you for the high praise @MartynRich.
I'm not sure where my love of words came from, it was always there. 
I say I like poetry but I must say I rarely find anything in books, more in lyrics, and even in the pop charts there's a lot of talent about. 
 Poetry is one of my main reasons for making music. I have to have it.

Hey @Paulski if I've inspired you then that's ample reason for me to be pleased with this.
I'm looking forward to your next release.

Reading these lyrics is like looking at an old photo of myself - the song is just theatrics, but my word, did I suffer needlessly! 

If I could visit myself back then, the gist of my advice would be "fret less, take more action, eat wholesome food more frequently, stop avoiding the necessary work".

I think that'd be it.

Hi Rightly. Sorry it's taken so long to review this. I have listened a few times over the last few days. For an "old blues progression" this is really good. What sets it apart is the lyrics, atmosphere and percussion. It has the essence of Nick Cave which means I'm a big fan. You've done a really good drop with the instruments and effects on the periphery too.

Yes the nick cave thing often comes up lately.
I really liked his "boatmans call". Then the one following that was even better.
My guitar version of this song is thrillin' but no one would make this comparison, I think because of the rough guitar.
Yes, on other songs I think I went a bit far with peripheries, but I was stretching, testing them. I'm not done with them but I've learnt I shouldn't overdo them in a song.
Oh, the blues... I really like good riffs, n' chord progressions, prominent weaknesses of mine, which keep me productive. One of these days! 

Thanks for commenting.
Your work is from another end of the spectrum, I always look forward to hearing your songs.

Another top tune Rightly.

Definitely Cohen, with a hint of Portishead.

Great atmosphere and love the lyrics.

Well done

What a great back catalogue you must have @Rightly , to be able to go back and pull this one out for the modern day polish up.

You have developed a unique sound which seems to be getting more assured, as I must have been listening to your releases for well over a year now. I particularly liked this chorus to this and the overall instrumental interplay is refreshingly different and atmospheric as ever.

I do have a huge back catalogue, most of it is substandard, some material has been recycled.

I should be writing new material. I've got some vague ideas to press on with but I don't like these prolonged quiet spells.

I might start a new cover for a change.

I'm glad you like this song, you're a man of fine taste! Lol.

Hi,

I like the backing - atmospheric and some lovely production touches. Your vocal is a kind of crazy cross between Bryan Ferry and Jim Morrison after a tryst with Nick Cave. I have to be honest and say that this didn't do it for me as a song - I think it lacked melody and cohesion but I'm guessing that that wasn't your intention!

There is a lot to admire in how you've put this together but as a song (on a songwriters forum) I didn't enjoy it. Sorry :-(
