Description

This is my first collaboration on Macjams. Vic was nice enough to help me out with this one. He did a lot of the guitars and drums(and mixing). He also tried to give me an "Instant Karma" sound on the vocals.

I'm always willing to collab if you're interested.

Special thanks to Vic.

Lyrics

Shortcoming

I really couldn’t remember
The streetlight flashing alone
As we were walking back home

It could have been a total adventure
With the door that was unlocked
I think it was 5 o’clock

Oh my mind. Everything worked out fine
I stand and fade away

There was something I couldn’t imagine
Like a tree falling down in a lake
I think it was all a mistake I made

I should have seen it all coming
Everything I wanted to say
Tomorrow, right now and yesterday

Oh it’s wrong. I know I didn’t belong
But, you see that’s just the way I am

All I want for you to do is love me

I really couldn’t remember
The streetlight flashing alone
As we were walking back home

It could have been a total adventure
With the door that was unlocked
I think it was 5 o’clock

Oh my mind. Everything worked out fine
I stand and fade away

All I want for you to do is love me

	Nice work. Sounds very trippy and 60s to me. You have both done a fine job here, although I feel the vocals get a bit lost in the mix in places, But what do I know about mixing! Adam Check out my latest song called The Last One

Shortcoming - Longcoming
2 of my most favorite songwriters come together on this excellent song. I hear 100% of both of you. I thought I was this amazing matchmaker, but I am embarrassed that I never connected the two of you together. There's a real natural seamlessness between your styles in this song. Now I'm thinking Vic's vocals with Dave's vocals could be the next best thing since the MacJams Super Band - The Goodwillys. Please continue to collaborate. You two have just scraped the surface.

Vic Holman said 3767 days ago (February 26th, 2008)

thanks Dave
for letting me join in on the fun and messing around. i really dug the quirky poppiness right off the bat. plus all those cool riffs you have in there. It was right up my alley so I was playing along right off the git-go.

I should mention that Dave has 2 electric guitar tracks on here. and I added another 6. execessive? nah

Tanks again Dave, it was fun and painless.
