Here is my throwdown to the number challenge. I have had a loose collection of lines for a few years hanging around in a dusty old file in this computer. It seemed like it had potential and so I dusted it off, polished it off and then applied a simple chord progression to it. Instead of writing the melody down, I just played it and then recorded it and it is not all that bad. There are so many themes here that I have 'borrowed' from the old blues men. Just a good man feeling bad. What more can I say.

Dante's 9 Circles of Hell
words and music by Gene Gorski
Suffered the past 9 hours trying to reboot my head
Lost the past 9 days, friends and family think I'm dead
Wasted the past 9 years hanging on your venomous lies
Gave you 9000 dollars baby, turns out that was unwise
In return you gave me a trip through Dante's 9 circles of Hell
Temptation in high heels and lust gift wrapped in lace
Painted woman with beauty locked up inside your suitcase
Didn't know till too late you ain't the real deal
You loved me like a tiger hungry for a meal
How was I to know you were a hell hound on my trail
Suffered the past 9 hours trying to reboot my head
Lost the past 9 days, friends and family think I'm dead
Wasted the past 9 years hanging on your venomous lies
Gave you 9000 dollars baby, turns out that was unwise
In return you gave me a trip through Dante's 9 circles of Hell
Burning in the fires of hell, with no ticket to get me home
Like some tourist stranded at night on the streets of Rome
Walked out with all my money, for kicks you kept my soul
But I don't gotta worry about ever being cold
Since you sent me through Dante's 9 circles of hell
Suffered the past 9 hours trying to reboot my head
Lost the past 9 days, friends and family think I'm dead
Wasted the past 9 years hanging on your venomous lies
Gave you 9000 dollars baby, turns out that was unwise
In return you gave me a trip through Dante's 9 circles of Hell
Just remember girl, he didn't call 'em circles for nothing
Be catchin' you next time through
Remeber my name, it's Norman
Suffered the past 9 hours trying to reboot my head
Lost the past 9 days, friends and family think I'm dead
Wasted the past 9 years hanging on your venomous lies
Gave you 9000 dollars baby, turns out that was unwise
In return you gave me a trip through Dante's 9 circles of Hell
(the kiss goodbye)

Gene! Slow down. You're making everybody look bad.
:)
Just kidding.
But I'm going to get at least one up before the end of this day...so help me.
Love the lyrics on this song. Good number work.
I only got up to 4 in mine...

Thanks. This is how I work. Either there is a load of stuff or nothing. I am finally writing and recording again after about 8 months of having my studio become a giant walk in closet.
I am happy, alightly manickey, but it will go away. I am working on next months stuff and recorded 2 more this weekend, but I'm saving those for next month.
That way I'll have something for the months I spend hibernating.
I really liked the feel on your song. You have a great voice.
Thanks for letting me play
Gene
