This has taken me ages.... still not sure it's finished... but here it is. ENJOY!!


Lyrics
I've got a sentimental picture
that i keep upon the mantel.
It's not my favourite picture of you
but it's all that i can handle.

And she said, leave it out
you don't know what you're talking about
leave it out
you don't know what you're talking about

Do you know what you're cryin' for?
Do you know what you're cryin' for?
Do you know what you're cryin' for?
Do you know what you're cryin' for?

I've got the feeling that we've been here
and i've heard this nonsense all before.
I only say these things to hurt you.
Sentimental picture to the floor.

And she said, leave it out
you don't know what you're talking about
leave it out
you don't know what you're talking about

Do you know what you're cryin' for?
Do you know what you're cryin' for?
Do you know what you're cryin' for?
Do you know what you're cryin' for?

@moraamarolaloba @Sterix 
Oh my God... guys.... the solo was in the wrong place!!!
Now corrected. If you get the chance, give it another listen. Thanks.

Great intro..love the bass. I'm a sucker for crunchy guitars too so we're on a winner here! The lead vocal could maybe do with just a bit more grit though, overall I really like the vocal arrangement. This is my kind of music so, yeah, I really enjoyed this. :)

Hey!  Like this.  It's heavier than a lot of your stuff, no?  A touch of Soundgarden about it even.  Really like the slightly odd intro, with those octave notes on the guitar and that 'clicky noise' behind them, and then the chunky, fuzzy riff when it comes in is a joy.  Vocals sounded good to me... maybe just the falsetto lines ("leave it out...") could be polished a bit, but they still worked for me.  Lyrically it's quite intriguing... starts out sounding like it is going to be a love song, but then goes somewhere quite different.  Nice!
It's all too beautiful.

@ChrisPrice In short, i can't sing this how i hear it. It does need more grit... but i can't do it  :'(
@PaulyX Yeah.. i love that intro too. Just random shit that sounded good. The 'leave it out' bit is the bane of my life. I've tried to sing it so many different ways and it either sounds weak (like here) or screechy. I gave up.

Thank you both for your comments. Glad you liked it.

This is fab! Great sound @dinnerwithgreedo - that guitar riff is brilliant!

Only thing I'd add is some more harms / BVs in the chorus... Tight 3rds / 5ths..

Of course, just a matter of taste!

Loved this!

Thinking I was too critical of the vocal. Nothing wrong with it at all. Sometimes it takes another listen. Having done that I think this is perfectly formed. I love this this track..it's great. :)

Always enjoy your songs @dinnerwithgreedo love that scratch guitar in the intro. Then it really kicks in with that dirty sounding guitar. This is a fabulous piece of upbeat indie rock. Great vocals and driving bass too and damn tight. Can't find anything to crit - Absolutely loved it  :)

great tune, when it started I was getting a bit of Blur Song 2 with the melody but can't complain I love that song too. great job here nothing I can think of to improve it anyway.

Beautiful arrangement, catchy melody.
I like the sound of guitars and cool solo with original harmonies.

Menacing intro, the initial picking reminiscent of a Scooby Doo drama.  I know that sounds like a contradiction but there is reason behind the comment.  It sets the scene for something mysterious.  The vocal melody is strong and the guitars are on song.  Elements of Blur are here too.Memorable tune sir!

Nice,I like this, Your vocals sounds like you were born to sing rock songs. The music production (Love the guitar) over all its very good, sound a little dated but don't have anything bad to say other wise. This song I will play on repeat.

Great riff,great vocals...a swaggering riff with sweet poppy vocals always gets me..people mention Blur,but it`s late 70s New wave o me,a bit Nick lowe in the vocal on the chorus,but Iggy/Blondie elsewhere
