Any More Or Less

Any More Or Less

My wife said this is a stupid song...  I said, I thought it had a clever hook, and a melody that would stick in yer head... what do I know..?
Thanks to Mr. Dave Sconyers for the great Dobro & Fiddle work...  

double post, sorry

 

Hi Frank, the funny thing is that I like the tune, just add an acordion and sing in French(cajun) ; )

 Thanks for listening Tim... I just uploaded an alternate mix with a different
ending...

Frank, you've posted many songs that convey a slice of life that is common to most of us.  That is no less true of this song.  I feel this is more whimsical than most of your music, but that's alright.  As a songwriter,  it's good to expand your borders now and then.  As for the production, it's top notch and breaks the mold of cookie cutter productions.  Right on!

Thank you Lynn, for those really nice words... I'm very glad you liked it...

  I don't know if you're serious, but I think that's a great Idea... Thanks again Rik...

That fiddle gives it a Michael Doucet Cajun Brew flavor, love it. I think the song is great and I agree with you.
 
And that's a good picture of you on that site.
 
 

Every song can't be your grand opus.  Some are just destined to be "ditties", like this one.  It's a cute little song, with great playing and production, and some clever lyrics.  Nothing wrong with that!

 Lyrics aside. This is a nice jumpy semi-cajun tune I thought was a fun listen.

Thanks, glad you had fun... and thanks for the feedback...

The track is great Frank.
I kind of agree with your wife about the lyrics.
 That said, a lot of my songs are written to be stupid on purpose.

 I'm hip to that Tim... "I meant to do that"...

glad you love the tune, Robby... that's an old picture, taken before my beard turned white...
I wrote a Cajun style song a few years ago for a friend's party, and never recorded it... maybe it's time...
 
 
 

The lyrics are neither profound or stupid... but they are very commercial and this is what you would call a money song with the masses.
 
I like if just fine, it is catchy and very likeable.

Hi Frank ,  "I don't know if you're serious, but I think that's a great Idea"    I am serious, the tune sounds cajun to me, except the vocals.
 
Rik

Yeah, Jeff Lynn is a genius really. I love the Wilburys stuff (being a huge George Harrison fan), but he over cooks it a bit sometimes. I hope you take what I said the way I meant it and not negatively. I should probably listen to this on my studio speakers and not on this laptop. What I was hearing sounded like a chorus or phaser type of an effect....it may not even be there! Hahahaha. I did really like your song that had the part by Imogen Heap in it. That was cool.

Thanks Daryl... that's exactly what I was going for...

Bring it... You have the skills personally on many instruments, and the mix, and seem to be well connected with other musicians, i.e., fiddle, and you could do the accordion on the keys. Cajun is an old raw old style of music that touches me personally and I'm sure others as well. And it is well suited to your style.
 
The fiddle, accordion, some yelping, the guitars, etc... Doesn't really need drums? But they are not ruled out. (a tamborine maybe?) "Someone playing a washboard on their chest with thimbles on their fingers..."
 
If you listen to some
Michael Doucet & Cajun Brew
 
You'll see what I'm talking about.

Love the silly sentiment - it's a great fun song. Enjoyed it immensely!
 
Cheers,
Terry.
