Lyrics

There was a cloud that followed me
It dogged my steps, it ran the show
A foggy, misty, empty sea
All kinda dreary, don't ya know
Had me on my way to ruin
Had me barkin' at the moon
Thought I was goin' Looney Toons

It didn't matter how I tried
Couldn't seem to read my lines
Was always driftin' with the tide
Not one to heed the warnin' signs
It was like I was caught in a typhoon
My life was blowin' past high noon
And I was truly Looney Toons

Should have asked to be committed
Would have saved some people grief
Life's not a suit that's simply fitted
Styles keep changin'
And time's a thief
That's for sure

Now, there's a muse that visits me
It whispers music, sweet and clear
In a language known to be
What this soul has longed to hear
No more preachin' doom and gloom
No more thoughts of padded rooms
No more goin'
Looney Toons

Groovin' right along...that's what this tune does! Lyrically, something of a spiritual journey from going looney to finding a peaceful place, it could be anybody's personal journey. The story fits into the melody nicely and I think that's what grabs me...that easy melody and the everyman's raspy vocals that have so much expression. That's what music is about, too...getting into the feeling of something that goes deeper than words. This song does it nicely.

Has Jazz elements that work well here. Well balanced production of vocal and instrumentation. Enjoyable!

Very intriguing piece with intriguing lyrics and a nice jazzy feel to it. Great keyboard work. This would sound real good in the right kind of movie or TV show.

cool recording
nice lyric
would love to here more of your stuff

Definitely stands out. Did not sound like a typical song, very original, especially the sound of the instrumentation

I love the lead vocals sounds so good, I like the keyboards as well. Sound a little like James Brown.

I like the melody, nice blues feel

- Sweet vocals! Very smooth and easy to listen to.
- Nice pocket...good color without detracting from the vocal.
- Crystal clear and clean drum sounds.

I like your understanding of the chord progressions.
