Somebody Somebody

It’s always been intriguing to me the random haphazard way some human relationships start.  And then the way some of them unfold.  Enemies become friends...friends become enemies...I guess it’s just the nature of the beast...sometimes quirky

Somebody out there hates me

But they don’t know it yet                                                                                

At first they’ll love yeah love what I got

But then in time they’ll want to hit me in the gut

Try to forget the day we ever met

And wonder why and fill with regret

But we haven’t met yet... no no not yet


Somebody out there loves me

But they don’t know it yet

Cuz first they’re gonna think me a fool

But in time they’re gonna see I’m a jewel

Yeah and need gonna need the love that I got

But we haven’t met yet no no not yet


Is it a curse in my thinking

Or a blessing for my taking

Is it right or is it really all wrong

I know somebody somebody’s comin along

But we haven’t met yet no no not yet


Break 


The further I run and the longer I crawl

The more I realize I just can’t please em all

The more I look the more lost souls I see

I know somebody needs somebody like me

But we haven’t met yet no no not yet


Somebody’s got a finger on a trigger

Somebody needs to make somebody pay 

And so without a warning

A rage is loose and a life gets taken

In the tension the tight tight tension

A crazy mind kills without question

But they haven’t met yet…… no no not yet


Hey somebody yeah somebody

Knows how to hang up on sad

And turn away and just let it be

That somebody  somebody is me

Walk away with me and see 


Before it’s time for regret


na na na na na na na na na na na no...no not yet

    It's a fun song, although in some ways it's sad because it describes an inexplicable reality, haha, but that's how it is.

    The guitar sounds good, and I like the reverb in the vocals. The "...no no no yet" is very catchy.

  • Sounds real good man

  • Love that opening:

    Somebody out there hates me

    But they don’t know it yet    

    Got exactly that quirky feeling that you were talking about. Same with the final line of that verse:

    But we haven’t met yet... no no not yet

    It gets you thinking about how these things unfold, which is exactly what you are after!

    Makes a great tag line for each verse, and could even be an alternate title.

    Somebody’s got a finger on a trigger

    Ooh I did not see that coming! Much darker verse. Gives it a nice edge, and makes you re-evaluate the song overall.

    It may not be practical for you, but I think this one would really benefit from a strong funky bassline.

    Really enjoyed that!

    I left you a comment on Soundcloud. Loved the song. The guitar work is incredible to my (admittedly amateur) ear. I know what I like, and I loved the instrumental. The quirky vocal was accentuated with a slightly quirky fit with the instrumental which I felt really grabbed and held interest.

    Hey thanks ya'll for tuning in.

    @MoraAmaroLaLoba muchos gracias amiga. Si, solo un poco de reverberación lo hace agradable. (did I get that right?) 😉

    @ElvisNash got another one I'm working on kind of inspired by you called..."Guy And A Guitar"

    @RainyDayMan thanks for the kind words Owen. Hmm, a bass, I've been working with some other musicians, let me see if I can put that together, yeah I think you're right.

    @Hardtwistmusic Aww heck thanks for those kind words my friend. Glad you enjoyed it!
