BORN TO DIE Michael Taub/Jay Lamothe
(Verse 1)
A raging storm surrounds me,
Sheets of rain come crashing down
I just can't clear away the memories
Of that God forsaken town
(Verse 2)
With a tank full of guilt
My conscience riding shotgun by my side
On these one-way streets of misery
Lies dead-end alibis
(Chorus)
Foot to the floor, my eyes straight ahead
Nowhere left for me to hide
It won't take long before they find out what I did
Yeah, catch me they are gonna try/if they catch me I aint gonna lie/if they catch me I aint' going to cry
Guess I was born to die
(Verse 3)
Steering my way to nowhere
The blood still dripping from my hands
Headlights chase away the shadows
Of another dying man
(Verse 4)
Green lights I tare on through
Red ones I just close my eyes
The reapers chasin in my rearview
and awaits my sweet demise
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
It doesn't matter how far I drive,
This guilt is burnin me up,..It's burnin up,.. It's burning up inside
(Chorus)

This was a blast for me to work on! Sort of out of my normal vocal range,..but its fun to put on a stink face :( now and then. >:D 8)
Bill,.. is there any style that you can't play??!?!?! Dude you ripped this bad boy a new one!! Big big guitars dude. Here is my favorite spot in this whole song,..
check it out,... 2:47,... if that doesn't do it for ya,..check your pulse! ;)
John,.. this just wouldn't have maintained it's energy without your tracks. Long live double bass and kick ass rolls!! Awesome. 8)
Next? Country? ;D

Andy
Thanks dude! After hearing some of your work, me thinks me's gonna have to leave some bass parts open! ;)
CD
Thanks! I had good company!!! Mix sucks again? ;D I'm trying bro!! ;) Listened against a reference and I agree it is lacking also! >:( Gonna have to get some stuff wrapped up and I'll hunt ya down for advice. ;)
Jay
Thanks bro! I stole that spot from some dude with hammer impled in his lip and a green mohawk!!! ;D
-
Very cool guys! I guess I hadn't heard this one. Cool to hear Jay sing in his low voice. :) 8)
-
Wow - absolutely fantastic!!!! It'll sit on repeat for a few more plays yet :D Great job.
-
What else can I say? Been listening over and over for some days now... It's just amazing...
Great Guitar tone and perfomance, superb Vocals, proper keys arrangement, and John u da drums, my friend.
The production is fantastic, Bill...
... When I grow older, just want to be like you :)

Tricia
Thanks, Yea....Jay is quite the metal head!! >:D
docca3
Thanks, Glad you likey! ;)
Paulo
Thanks bro! I really hadn't had the keys vision on this one. Thought it was gonna be straight up guitars! Jay threw some stuff at me and I liked! Otherwise, I know you could have tore this to shreds!!! Keep yer eyes open cuz got some more stuff coming soon!!
-
I like Jay's keys a lot. I'm always amazed by the way different people have different visions of things.
I'd do it certainly different and some other guy the same. That's what makes music such a passionate thing.
Great tune guys.
-
You guys tear it up on this one. Jay, I'm enjoying your work here.. a bit different from what I am used to hearing, but my God man.. it works so well. Tasteful and well placed keys.. really makes the song sparkle. Bill, I've always admired your writing and your tone.. another one outta the park! And John, as always, your personality adds so much to the songs you collab on, and there are no exceptions. you always add an extra dimension that makes the song sound so polished and professional..
shades of Dream Theater here, I love this!!! :)
-

Paul

Yikes!!!!
I inadvertently turned up the volume.... :o I won't be doing that again ;D
That's awsome playing by all of you guys! I didn't recognise your voice Jay...I had to look twice at the credits. Top quality Rock 'n' Roll. I'd go and pay to see you guys play this live (I'll stand at the back though.....I'm getting old).
Billy.

Thanks SO MUCH guys!!! :)

Thanks for the vox and keys comments guys! Much appreciated! Thanks for letting me trash up your song Bill!! >:D

You metal head!!! You know you don't wanna be a pop star!!! >:D

Yep. Nice and heavy. Nice vocals Jay. Killer solo Bill. I would have liked to have heard more of your signature over the top soloing from 2:23 to 2:40. Love that stuff and twice as long would have suit me fine. Guess a short one will have to do. ;D Nice tune guys. John's right on the money as usual. Great lyrics from Michael. 8)

Thanks Andy!
Yea... there are some weenies over there at GB! >:(
But opinions are like maple leaves......you can wear them where ya want! >:D
Thanks Nitch! I appreciate you guitar tone compliment! I'm alway searching for "THE TONE"
Seems to me very difficult to get the ultimate metal guitar tone! I'm still looking too!! :D
But I tracked 2 guitars and panned them left and right. Not much verb to bring them up front.
