Got A Friend

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5PjbXtoaPw&t=223s

Here's the best of three live takes. Unfortunately the worst of the three improvised guitar solos, but I coughed in one take and lost my place in the third take. It always just gets worse after three takes -- I don't know why.


It's all right, you drive me in your car

I'm happy for you, brother, to see how fortunate youare

I've got a friend

He's gonna talk to me in the alley

When this day ends 

 

It's OK, you eat in the restaurant

I'm happy for you, sisters, you have everything you want

I've got a friend

He'll walk this street with me 

Until this life ends 

 

I've got bread for my hunger, I've got water for my thirst 

I'll kneel down on my cardboard and thank him for it first 

I've got a friend

He's gonna give me a feast and a mansion

When this world ends

    @DullRoar REALLY like where your song went, your last verse! Awesome! Now, for a listen...love, love, love your blues style! Very cool! 😎

    Enjoyed your video very much, and yes, after the 3rd take I'm done, too. Something about a 1st take (sometimes)! Very sincere performance.

  • Some nice picking there!

    Big reveal in the 3rd verse. Up till then I wasn't sure if it was going to be a drug song!! Much better this way.

    The ending felt a little short - though maybe it's just that particular take. A short picked outro there maybe?

  • Nice job on the song

    @DullRoar I commented on this song the other day. This must be a re-post? Anyway, love the song and sincere performance. Nice guitar-playing, too! hmm...maybe I forgot to push the 'save comment' the other day or worst posted the comment on someone elses song? Great song!

    Oh nice, I remember hearing this elsewhere and 100% expecting it to be a drug dealer at the end haha, so you're not alone there @RainyDayMan . Great song, very bluesy and I love the groove in your picking.

  • Hey there DR... nice to see ya!

    Love the song, man! It's a good write, and your performance is believable. You look good... No deer in the headlights with you! LOL

    Are you sure that the video isn't A.I?
