I just need Someone to Blame
https://soundcloud.com/m_glenn_m/someone-to-blame-aug014 cuz we all need someone. (V1)My reputation Left town with my luck I'm at the station begging for bucks Cuz I got my problems Oh yeah I can see I need someone to blame And I know it won't be me. (V2)-My life is in turmoil The back of the line Bumper to bumper I'm always behind My credit card Crisis Is all that I own Feel I'm crawling thru brambles Swimming like a stone Chorus (A)Lord I need someone Someone to blame(E) Got to have someone Someone to blame (A)Please send me someone (C)Got to have someone to blame(E) (V3) Finished this evening Charged with assault But the officer started it wasn't my fault It's not my fault I'm not to blame Stop picking on me Stop yanking my chain Chorus (V4) Could be the Christians Could be the Jews Maybe the Muslims Maybe it's you You're all holding me back You're all in my way You could be my friend If you do what I say. Chorus x 2

I quite enjoyed your tune the mix sounds reasonable here though it does come across a little like it was recoded on perhaps one or two mic's in club or bar.

Welcome to the forum. I enjoyed this song and my feet were tapping along. The mix sounds big and open with a throbbing bass line. The vocal and harmonica are well performed, and the acoustic sounds sweet. This song deserves a few more listens, but, all in all, nice job!

Liking this, upbeat and tongue-in-cheek, good stuff! Nice little touches, like that harmonica/bass run before the first chorus, that's sweet. Very refreshing sound, look forward to hearing more from you.

That must have been it  it was meant in a good way you have captured a very live-ish feel.

This sounds great to me! Has that Loggins and Messina vibe. Great performances here as well.

This number has a great airy feel to it while juxtaposed with some great "cheeky" lyrics.
Great work!

Nice bit of tunage there! I see the Loggins comment but my first impression was Paul Simon.
I think the bass is a bit to loud, or needs rolled off a bit. Maybe subjective but there it is. Other than that, great mix!

The song is great and the arrangement is really cool. Maybe a little more refinement on the ending...  I really enjoyed listening!

Thanks guys, it's appreciated.
I'll check the bass. It's possible my age is rolling off the bass (I know it's rolling off the top-I'm down to about 8K now) and I'm compensating.
Thanks for the heads up.

Nice song! Inventive bass playing, great use of slightly odd percussion (for the genre). Harmony vox right on, in a good, ragged way. Harp is a little tentative - I wanted it to strut more. I wonder if the whole thing might be speeded up a little?
