AIN’T ONE OF US WORTHY
V1
As hard as this life sometimes seems
I hate the thought of leavin’ here
Gettin’ older, mostly used up
Soon, I’ll disappear
Much as I sit back
No way to fit in
I cut myself some slack
We’ve all been known to sin
CHORUS
Ain’t one of us worthy
Ain’t one of us worthy
Ain’t one of us worthy of Heaven
Not one of us worthy, no
V2
‘Cuz as bad as things are at the top
Down here, things ain’t much better
Bent so far, the Golden Rule
Nobody stays together, no
Sometimes I wonder why
We haven’t taken the fall
Lovers of the lie
To the Devil handin’ it all
Ain’t one of us worthy
Ain’t one of us worthy
Ain’t one of us worthy of Heaven
Not one of us worthy
[Music]
No, ain’t one of us worthy of Heaven
Not one of us worthy
V3
In the end God will decide
Who lives the celestial star
In the end God will decide
Who, other than Him, can reach that far
‘Cuz there you go again
Bein’ a dick again
Up to your old tricks
Losin’ another friend
Ain’t one of us worthy, no
Ain’t one of us worthy, no
Ain’t one of us worthy of Heaven
No, not one of us worthy..

good songs, although the rant at the end of verse 3 seems out of place and unexpected :)..

This one feels like a bitter smile and a shake of the head.
I like that you've started with the narrator talking about themselves. It makes it inclusive, it's about us, not a criticism of them. And that leads nicely into the chorus. I think that's strong. The simplicity and repetition are both in its favor here. Makes it work. And a good fit to the blues style.
Nicely done!

@bhengen Yup! End of V3 an afterthought. At the time, it seemed it worked...but maybe not. Thank you for your honest assessment.

I would leave it as it makes the song real and honest.

Renee, each time I come into your threads, I know one thing is for sure, it's going to make me smile. But why am I shaking my assets too?? I'm loving it!
The only thing is your mic needs to be turned up slightly. But I'm over here jamming so it's no distraction!!!
I really enjoyed this song! Good job!

@TammyB Thanks so much, Tammy. I agree, vocals a bit buried on this one. It's about time now that I go back and fix things. I seem to be out of new ideas at the moment and super-drained from this wonderful song-run. I actually welcome the break so I can get other things done such as cleaning the house, etc. Lol! 😍
Thank you for always staying tuned in, Tammy and I look forward to more of what you got!

I really like this one, Renee. It's a foot-tapper with a bit of an old-time gospel blues feel, if that's a thing. Absolutely agree with Tammy that you need to bring your voice up in the mix. Also, maybe try doubling your vocals in the chorus to make it stand out a bit. Or add some backing vocal "ooohs." The musical break is good, but feels like it needs something over it. I hear a harmonica in there :)
