Title: What Do I Do ?
Post by: CosmicDolphin on September 29, 2009, 01:20:58 PM

This one started life as an idea for the sewer Pipe / CBZ gang to possibly run with.  In the end there were so many songs floating around it got buried in the junk pile , so I decided to do it myself  ;D

To be honest I didn't have particularly high hopes for it and it took a while to get going but I think it came out great in the end, so it just shows it's always worth pushing to get stuff done 8)

Thanks to everyone who helped on this one you are all very talented.

What Do I Do


What am I supposed to do ?
I can't sit round here waiting just for you
I heard you say but can't believe we're through
What do I do ? ...Oh what do I do ?

Where am I supposed to go ?
You stole my heart and now you took my home
There's things about me that you'll never know
Where do I go ?  Oh where do I go ?

All my life I keep on running , I don't know which way to turn
All the lies just kept on coming now it's time to crash and burn
Crash and burn

What am I supposed to say
My words for you just seem to slip away
You told me that I'd never see this day
oh what do I say

What am I supposed to be
I'll hold a mirror up to all your schemes
my reflection isn't everything it seems
Those silent screams
Invade you dreams

Hey Mark,

Nice one - good vocal too. How many more to go before you release that solo album then?

Good job on the mix - its quite a guitar intensive tune. Liked the 'floaty-washy" effects in the beginning of the song as well.

Great playing by everyone - super backing vox in there as well.

Cheers
Andy

Really amazing how this started life with yourself banging away on the acoustic all the way to a wall of guitar players, keyboards galore and 500 people singing along in the stadium! :) Nice agressive contrast to the others in your roster,should slide in nice in the overall CD.
Keep rockin'!

This is a good song CD...Your a good songwriter...I pretty much like everything you write.

I also like your voice...it has a unigue sound...you probably dont consider yourself a singer because i always see you looking for singers for your songs however I think you should sing the songs you write because you have such a unique style and sound.

Cheers Mike...I guess finding space starts with the arrangement and ends in the mix, some of the solo'd parts sound shocking on their own but slot well into the mix.

WoW! A wall of sound. Another fine pop song done in your own inimitable style, Mark. You must have enough for an album .....just in time for Christmas (would make a nice little stocking filler).

More to come I hope?

Thanks Billy ...not enough songs yet ( well I do , but not of a high enough standard ) so yes a couple more to come I think.  If the next batch turn out this good I'll have an album to be proud of for sure.

Solid production. And although the genre is not my cup of tea (sounds like Brit rock/pop to me), I must say you all did a very good job.

I look forward to all the new music in 2010! :)
