First FAWM collab with lyrics by @jayjay and music by me
Took too long to find the right path
the toll came at too much cost
Took too much time to find myself
And the me that I found was lost
Got the Devil on my shoulder
A Six string on my back
I’m half way to hell
And I’m Never looking back
Took too long to see the whole truth
Roses strangled by the weeds
Took too much notice of other’s wants
Forgot I had my own needs
Got the Devil on my shoulder
A Six string on my back
I’m half way to hell
And I’m Never looking back
Gonna Ride
Ooh-ooh-oh Gonna Ride
Took too long to shake it all off
Velvet shackles bound my soul
Took too much from my dammed life
So that you could have it all
Got the Devil on my shoulder
A Six string on my back
I’m half way to hell
And I’m Never looking back
Gonna Ride
Ooh-ooh-oh Gonna Ride

Great guitar work - the strumming sounds fantastic and your flourishes spice up the track. "Roses strangled by the weeds" is a fantastic, sad image. Great lyrics, and you've brought them to life nicely.

I like the rhythmic guitar strumming, the chords and the vocals; very folk-like. The imagery in the lyrics is very cool, in particular the line "a six-string on my back". #tit4tat

There are so many good lines in these lyrics. Hard to pick favorites, but I really love: 'Roses strangled by the weeds' and 'Took too much from my dammed life So that you could have it all'. I like the play on words in that last one. Loved the guitar playing and performance. Cool song! Nice collab :)

I nice interesting listen. Thx!

Fine guitar that really fits the energy of the lyrics. I like the specific imagery of roses strangled by weeds (the pink background helps) and the velvet shackles. Fine collaboration.
@williamjames Feb 2022
The lyrics flow very well into this style! Cool guitar work and vocals. The lyrics are full of great lines like "roses strangled by weeds" and "velvet shackles on my soul" Loved it!
@jayjay Feb 2022

Really strong verse melody - great vocal delivery and the transition to the chorus works well. Props to JayJay on the lyrics. I like this collaboration - look forward to hearing more. Great stuff!
