Hi forum folk
Here's a new bitter and twisted song that I wrote :)
Nits and crits welcome

I'm Not the Bad Guy
Written and performed by Staypress
V1
I'm sick of saying sorry for things I did not do
I'm tired of building bridges so I can get to you
V2
I feel like I've been branded a monster among men
I think I'll build a time machine and put it right again.
Ch
I'll admit your jealousy didn't bring out the best in me
But I'm not the bad guy
i don't deny I lost my cool, being made to feel a fool
But I'm not the bad guy
V3
I'm tired of feeling guilty for things I should have done
I'm sick of being sorry for fights I never won
Ch
Middle bit
I'd be the first to admit I was wrong
If you'd allow me to talk that long
The thought of you was heavenly, reality was hell
Who's the guilty party? You know damn well
Ch to end

Another instant classic, Daryl.  Your words and music are consistently excellent.  I'm happy for you!

Excellent Daryl. Love that change up into the chorus, nifty writing mate. Cool little synth details going on too, likes that.

Nice one, Daryl.  Especially like the chorus with the subtle vocal harmony and the organ you got in the background.  Clever lyrics and nice clean production.  Radio ready for sure.

Yep... very cool. Good work.
 
I always enjoy the songs you present as they are overflowing with creative expression.  Unique things here and there  and yet, you tend to have a cohesive style that runs through them all.
 
Another good job.

Instant "Thompson Twins" classic! Love it!
 
Your usual super-clear mix as well...great job on this.
 
Regards,
Dan

A textbook Staypress production, clean airy well positioned instrumentation, balanced lead vocal and harmonies, one could say smooth.

Thanks a ton James. You are also the man.

Who's your muse? Whoever, he or she is a good one. Mine keeps telling me to be a man. ??
