Leave Me Alone - New original vocal

This is not meant to be a depressing song, or a song of dispair.  Just a song about a guy that has is way of dealing with life's hardships.
 
My wife asked my why I wrote about this and I replied The song has to be about something.  
 
I hope you like the song.    Daryl

Leave Me Alone
 
Why won't the world
Just leave me alone
This load I've had to carry
Has turned my heart to stone
That's why I'm asking you
Just leave me alone
 
There was a time
When everything was bright
But everything that's happend
Has turned my days to night
Don't try to rescue me.
Just leave me...
 
            Chorus:
            ..alone. I'm walkin'
            Down this road to despair.
            It's a road that leads to ruin
            But I don't really care
            The things that matter most
            Were found but lost somewhere
            Their memory won't leave me alone
 
They say you can run
But you can never hide
I might not hide forever
But you can say I tried
My undercover life's unknown
Just leave me alone
 
Don't try to make it better
I'm better off this way
There is really nothin'
That you could do or say
I can make it on my own
Please leave me....
 
            Chorus:
 
Please just keep on movin'
There's nothin' here to see
You can't share my troubles
That I'll keep a mystery
That’s just my comfort zone
Just leave me alone
 
Don't worry none about me
Don't want no sympathy
Don't need no conversation
Isolation's what I need
Don't call me on the phone
Just leave me alone
           
Chorus:
 

Hi, I can't play this on my iPad with sound click so I'll get back to you in the morning when I'm at my PC.

Hi Daryl,

Really good job on the songs and production.  Sounds great on my system. 

Rimshot

Now this is classic Daryl. Excellent job on the recording.....and I generally love your writing..... no exception this time. 


I can relate to the sentiment in the tune..... 

Daryl,
 
Great song and well performed.   Guitar is outstanding as usual, vox are good too.  
Regards

Daryl, another great song.  I have to echo some of what ruralrocker2010 is saying.  Some of the rhythm playing seems to compete, especially at the beginning.  Otherwise great tune and mix.

Thanks for nice comments.  I've been slow getting back as I just went through a rare sickness for me (I almost never get sick), I think it was some bad food but it was HELL and I'm still not back up to feeling right.

Robby, you can make some pretty good music these days on a beginner guitar.  That's the custom archtop on the fingerpicking and my Tricked out Cort on the lead.

Gary - Wow, some pretty high compliments from a finger picker extrodinaire.  Thank you.

Rimshot - Thank you.

Spacecalf - Thanks, I tend to think of it as more melencholy.

Herb - Thanks bud.  I almost consider myself more of a songwriter these days than a musician.

Lynn - Thank you. I appreciate that.

Mark - Thanks friend. 

Josh - Mark.  Thanks.  I'm not sure what you mean.  The "rhythm" is a fingerpickin' pattern on the chords rather than strumming them.  There is also piano and organ but they are just accenting the chords.  I did up the volume on the first two measures of the finger picking just to establish the vibe of the chords.  Also the only place I play lead with the vocal are just single notes to accent the key note in the chord.  The fingerpickin is central to the song and it could have been done as an acoustic number but I wanted it more emotional than that.  Sounds like I got the two aproaches in conflict.

Frank - Wow you made my day.  You put the lyrics at the top.  Thank you so much.

Daryl

Hey Daryl
The lead guitar tone really sets the mood of the song IMO. It's the perfect harmony with your lead vocals.  GREAT tune!

Kev

Thanks guys.  I'm still under the weather and just checking in here and there, definately feeling better than I was.

Kenny,  Thanks Kenny.  I find myself drawn the songwriting as much as just the pure joy of playing anymore.  You know about the pure joy of just playing for thrill of it, don't you!

Kev  Thank you.  Guitar playing and singing are the two things I can at least sorta kinda be OK at.

James, Thank you guitar man, your attention to detail is always appreciated.  So glad you liked it.

Daryl

James

Sad but sweet sir, well done
