Mark My Words, I Can't Please You

I CAN'T PLEASE YOU.mp3 [01.10.07a] (inception--a ghost was born)

I CAN'T PLEASE YOU.mp3 - [01.10.07b] (the "let's see how if THIS background vocal works and oooohhh I found the reverb button in ProTools!" mix)

I am walking out into the studio now. On the way to work this morning I got a song idea, only a chorus, but it's snappy, and I probably stole it from some poppy 60s song, but I'm going to whip it out and post it anyways.

This song may very well fall under the "slogging-through-the-garbage-to-find-the-buried-treasure" category.

Be back in a bit...

[first post was at 9:45ish on Tuesday night, song was "completed" around 11pm and the following information was added]

I did it! Yippeeeee! It's a ditty of a song. Chorus - Verse - Chorus - Verse - Chorus.

I've included two versions of the song: the one I sang into the computer at work this morning to save the original idea (I had to keep singing it to myself on my way to my room from my car), and the "studio version" using a better mic and having a more completed idea. The original idea was only the chorus part.

Here they are:

I CAN'T PLEASE YOU.mp3 [01.10.07a] (inception--a ghost was born)

I CAN'T PLEASE YOU.mp3 - [01.10.07b] (the "let's see how if THIS background vocal works and oooohhh I found the reverb button in ProTools!" mix)

I CAN'T PLEASE YOU

CHORUS
I can't please you
Nothing I do (will make you smile)
I can't get through to you


VERSE
When I try to make you happy (make you happy)
Something stops you and you won't let me (you won't let me)
I won't lie...


CHORUS

VERSE

CHORUS


I CAN'T PLEASE YOU.mp3 [01.10.07a] (inception--a ghost was born)

You're on a roll dude! Keep it going. And there's nothing like a little ditty to get your toes tapping.
