"No Good At Goodbyes"

[kiramdear]

Maybe my metabolism is just quicker.

No Good At Goodbyes started out as a 3-1/2 minute song but I wanted to see if it gave the same feeling in short version. I found it worked fine so the cut stayed. What is it they say, brevity is the soul of poetry. Another thing is I'm all by myself on these tracks so there's not much more fun jamming for 5 min. than it is for two minutes. I do like to keep things concise given the absence of inspired solo musicians.
But this one, I wanted it to feel like something from the era. Check out the song lengths on the Beatles' first three or four albums. That's what I learned music from so it's easy for me to fall into that machine-gun, "leave 'em wanting more" mindset, especially on a sort of a tribute song like this.

Well Joe does point out, correctly I think, that you do have a knack for the two-and-a-half minute rocker. And I wish I had that knack too, quite frankly.

Couldn't agree more!
Anyway, this one is probably Worthy of the Pre-Fab Four themselves!

Thanks, Mark, I'm glad you like it. Het wait a minute, did you say PRE-FAB four

New one coming out in a day or two

Joe, that's the sweetest thing anyone's said to me all day
I hate to refer to my forum friends as my "fan base", but you all are actually filling the position very nicely. If this thing goes anywhere you all are going with me.

Well, hey, I've been a fan from day one. And if "this thing" does go anywhere, I'll volunteer for your touring band as bassist/guitarist/backing vocalist.
Or at the very least, I'd want a personally autographed copy of the CD.
