Description

I guess anyone that punches a clock can understand what this song's about. I've had my share of days waking up like this.

I am not a singer. Just a story I wanted to tell.

Thanks for listening.

Lyrics

Woke up this morning
sweat on my face;
Light through the window
sun's out of place.

Light up at cigarette
and think to myself.
Hands dry and calloused
from the life I have led.

Look in the mirror now
what do I see?
Only a part of me
lookin' back at me.

Day's just beginnig,
soon it will end.
Repeat of yesterday
so I try to pretend.
Look at the years gone by,
they couldn't end.
Live in the past now.
A place to begin.

Look in the mirror
what do I see?
Only a part of me,
lookin' back at me.

...
never punched a clock but the wall does that count? a story i can relate to even though i'm only 20. nice melody playing. a nice feel to this track. you don't have to be a singer to make music just need to have something worth saying. reminds me of those nights alone when i pick up the guitar and don't have the strength to sing more then two notes but know i need to somehow let it out. the feeling is in the song perfectly

	Wall's count It's not so much punching a clock. Just,sometimes you give it all you got and cant get anywhere. That's life at times,and it's all good. Thanks for listening and thanks for your kind words. And stay away from walls. Years ago my right hand was in a cast for eight weeks. The wall won.

	A lesson learned for both of us. Now that I think about it I was about your age when I broke my hand, a little older, 23. Oh well, I have moved on to other ways to destroy my body,(kidding). take care, Russ Check out my latest song called A Different Shade Of Moonlight

Great
The mix of acoustic plectrum playing and slightly distorted lead is fantastic. The acoustic sounds so clear it's like it's here in room. Have no worries about your singing - I really like your vocal style (and the lyrics). Let's have some more singing posts please.
Maybe you should fade the drums out at the end with the other tracks just to give it a smooth finish.
Thanks for posting - really enjoyed it.

I like the lyrics on this a lot
and I think the guitar works well on this too. It's one of those songs that evokes a whooe mood (heck, even a whole life!) and that's a paricular talent to be able to do that in a few words. I think yous vocal works very well on this too, capturing the world-weary vibe. Nicely done. Glad I stopped by. belated welcome to the neighborhood. Peace.
