Finally getting around to uploading more songs. This one feels like something that The Jayhawks could have done. I'm imagining harmonies and jangly electric throughout on the final version.
I'm guilty, but I'm innocent
I know what I said, but it's not what I meant
I never wanna bring you down
Life is a drag when you're not around
Chorus
And I'm hoping that you can see
In that moment I just wasn't me
I'm guilty, but I'm innocent
I'm guilty, I know it's my fault
Take what I say with a big pinch of salt
And I'm sorry for making you sad
I lost myself, and I know it was bad
You know this life
It drives me crazy half the time
But I'm hoping you can see that I'm...
I'm guilty, but I'm waving the flag
I know it was wrong and I can't take it back
But I love you, you know that it's true
No-one on Earth makes me feel like you do

This is awesome Matt. First two lines are had me hooked immediately. Cleverly put together.

Ohh, this is so sweet. It should be part of every newlywed's survival package. Being able to not always take your own side feels like the key to lasting happiness, and this song shows how it's done without preaching. The singing and word choices make it all feel sincere.

There's always room for Jayhawks! Quality effort once again Mr K.

Ooh lovely voice! Nice and vulnerable but great control and clarity. Cool song :-)

Clever first line and idea for the song. It comes across as sincere to me. The vocal has an earnest quality that makes you want to believe him. Sounds good. I enjoyed the guitar and melody too.

I love the upbeat vibe and sweet melody carrying your confessional lyrics. It sounds like a very loving musical confession. I really like your transitions from section to section. Also, great song concept - guilty with an explanation. This was memorable and a very enjoyable listen.
