Lyrics

BOTTLE OF DREAMS

I lost my job
My house and my wife
Misplaced my edge
My keys and my life
I can't begin to begin again
I have to find out
Just where have I been

But I'm happy
Ain't singing the blues
Got the clothes on my back
Ain't got nothin' to lose
Still got my friends
We're sharing some booze
Yes I'm happy, ain't singin' the blues

Ain't got no car
No hope or no cash
Just one wedding ring
And a kick in my as I walk along
You know I don't need anything
Just some good friends
And this bottle of dreams

But I'm happy
Ain't singing the blues
Got the clothes on my back
Ain't got nothin' to lose
Still got my friends
We're sharing some booze
Yes I'm happy, ain't singin' the blues

Music & Lyrics by Steve Rosas © 2003

Reminiscent of Matchbox 20 with a 90's rock feel. Like the way the first line leads you into the song and the phrasing on the verses. Background vocals work well. Fat guitar sound!

Great guitar groove to start the song. The lyrics were very good too. I loved the hook of the chorus - nothing better than a good full-sounding chorus that's well built up to. For some reason the lead vocal as well as backups sounded almost too trebly...I think they may have been able to use some richness. This is just me being nitpicky, looking for something constructive to criticize though for the sake of forwarding feedback on the song. It really is a well-made song.

A fun lovin' tune. I really enjoy the live sing-along feel. Nice guitar feature as well. Very smooth.

Fun little song...good guitar rift

Nice song foundation. Good groove
