I haven't posted in a while but I couldn't not post this here. Its from 6 years ago (wow, I can't believe that it's been that long) and it's simple and I'd LIKE to think my writing and playing and singing are a little better now! So after being told that I suck, I wrote this song. Oh yeah, it's a talking and singing song.
I Wrote This Song Because You Said I suck https://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=10754759 Chorus I wrote this song because you said I suck Sorry you got to hear it, guess that’s your bad luck My singing is atrocious, my playing’s even worse My love of music, I guess that that’s a curse When they hand me that Grammy, I’ll just smile and say “aw shucks” Cause I wrote this song, because you said I suck Verse 1 I was buskin on a corner, when you walked by with your mutt You laughed at my tip jar, tossed in your Marlboro butt I guess that I’m funny, cause you laughed until you cried You told the world I suck, one by one as they walked by Chorus Verse 2 I was playing my showcase, at a Nashville country bar You rolled up, in your fancy foreign car You made quite a scene, you’re important I bet Got drunk and yelled that I suck, the whole time thru my set Chorus You came down, to my sold out Ryman show Wanted backstage passes, I politely told you no You huffed and puffed and cursed me as you left Told the whole world that I sucked, on the internets Bridge Apparently writin’ songs is easy Come up with something original to say Find some fancy words and notes and chords Arrange them in a mel-odic way Throw it all together Play it on guitar Everybody’ll tell you how great you are But not you….so Chorus.

Roy - great song, great story. I love your voice. And talking while playing a steady rhythm is harder than singing and playing -- for me, anyway.

Thank you kind sir! It's my one and only talk/sing type song. The line "my singing is atrocious and my playing's even worse" is pretty much a quote of what I was told! It happened here but was quite a long time ago, and there certainly were more positives than negatives at the time but when you're new, something like that can really destroy your confidence. As it all turned out, things were patched up and we all moved on and I got kind of a creative funny song about it. The story of the song was actually was inspired by Taylor Swift's career at the time. Through each verse, the singer's career keeps going up and up even though the "critic" says the singer sucks. At that time, the internet boards were full of amateurs and semi-pros talking about how crappy her music was and yet somehow she got more and MORE popular. IRONICALLY, in the last few days I've been reading about how "horrible" her new song is. I guess things don't really change do they?? Thanks for the listen and the kind words.

Come on man, that's neither goofy nor stoopid! I give it clever and fun. Some great blues licks and lyrics in there. Having written songs, I think it is a actually a great creative exercise to write something a little less serious yet still do a good job on it. Well done! Dang bro, I'ma hungry for donuts now!

Another great tune. It would be good to maybe post the lyrics in the OP some were lightning fast and I missed a few. Super playing and singing. I think that fretboard was smoking a one point!
