    Default Long Ride Home

    Here's another orginal song. The lyrics are by my buddy Tim Bruno in Meadville, PA. I did the music last night. I realize it sounds similar to my last song, but that's just the mood I'm in right now. I had to create a simple melody because it's about 12 verses long, and it would sound like a mess with too many intricate changes.

    Here are the first three verses:

    since it's pretty much the same melody as your other one, I stand by my previous "well done and keep it up". however, with 12 verses, you're gonna need something to break up the melody besides instrumental breaks. even after 3 verses I was wanting a chorus-like melody to break in, even if it's not a chorus. perhaps something higher in the register? I can already hear it in my head if you're interested :-)

    If you plan on getting rich or famous with this song you'll probly have to change the title. Patty Griffin beat you to it.

    Sounds good to me Kevin! I listened to it last night but youtube had all the ratings and comments disabled.
