My band is looking for a new drummer so that project is on hold, but in the meantime...

The chord progression is this really simply, mid 60's Dylan type thing that I came up with and then wrote a melody around. I also recorded foot stomps as primitive percussion.

The lyrics are, well, I guess they kind of speak for themselves.

"User"

Lyrics:
Well if I died out in the street
Would you be surprised? Would you fall off your feet?
'Cause I'm a user; I'm a lose her
And if I cried and called out your name
Would you be by my side or would you tell me I'm to blame
'Cause I'm a user and I'm a lose her

If I fell to the depths of hell
Would you save yourself or would you come to rescue me?
Would you come to rescue me?

Cause if you weep like nothing's going right
I'd be on my feet, I'd be there any time
But I'm a user and I'm a lose her
Yeah if you want me then I'm already yours
Yeah and you would see what I've been waiting for
But I'm a user, and I'm a lose her

Cause in my dreams, I'm the king and you're the queen
But now it seems it was all just in my head
It was all just in my head

So if go would you even care?
Would you even know? Would you see I wasn't there?
If I died out in the street
Would you be surprised? Would you fall off your feet?
Cause I'm a user and I'm a lose her.

Wow this is great

I love how its "I'm a lose her" instead of being what people would think which is "I'm a loser"

Yeah, a lot better. I don't know much about the music you are playing but I still think you need a hook if you want to market as a pop artist. That will probably come with time. You are improving. Maybe it is the band. Hope you get it back together and find your drummer.

In the words on Blues Traveler:

Because the hook brings you back
I ain't tellin' you no lie
The hook brings you back
On that you can rely

It's a lot better hearing you sing the words rather than just see them written down! :wink:
