Liner Notes

#blues #shuffle

I recorded this with a totally different feel, that I thought would be great, but decided it was kind of bland. I hope this one is a little better.

Lyrics

Some folks die - long before they dead
Some folks die - long before they dead
They not taking their last breath,
They just givin’ up instead
Some folks die - long before they dead

Some eyes cry - till they out of tears
Some eyes cry - till they out of tears
They saw hurts and guilts and pain
They don’t want to see again
Some eyes cry - till they out of tears

Some hearts need - hope to mend them up
Some hearts need - hope to mend them up
They been broke and torn in two
The worst way you ever knew
Some hearts need - hope to mend them up

Some folks need - they need to feel some love
Some folks need - they need to feel some love
They need love from you and me
So they can feel as alive as can be
Some folks need - they need to feel some love

Some folks die - long before they dead
Some folks die - long before they dead
They not taking their last breath,
They just givin’ up instead
Some folks die - long before they dead

I like the message and the sound. Good use of the hook, and the repetition works well.

I dig the vibe you have going here! Excellent guitar work all around!

Some folks die long before they dead is truth and and a big mood (as the kids say)

Well done!
