Hi all,

Wrote this unplugged song today - departure from my usual style. Feedback most welcome:

Walking Shoes by Jonathan Linton 4 | Free Listening on SoundCloud

LYRICS:

Everything was fine
‘Till you stepped into my line
Made me play your game
Made me to take the blame

But you and the dame
Will feel the pain
And I’ll end this terror rain

Cause you won’t kill my spirit
Leave you to drown in it
Time to pay your dues
Cause you gave me the blues
But I put on walking shoes

You can, admire
The flame you set afire
But I just can’t get
How you live with no regret

Did you forget
One small snag
When I leave you with that hag

No, you won’t kill my spirit
Leave you to drown in it
Time to pay your dues
Cause you gave me the blues
But I put on walking shoes

(Yeah, that's right, no more blues, just me and my shoes)
(No way I'm gonna loose, I'm gonna hold my head up high)
And I put on walking shoes
Yeah!
 
I really like your voice in this. Wish mine was that low and full. Can you say what provoked you to write this?
I get the impression someone ticked you off and WHAM! .. a new song ;)
 
Great performances again. Only two things caught my ear the whole time, and they were both in the very last line of the song. When you sing "put on," it sounds out of tune with the guitar. I know you were kind of half singing/half speaking the line, but I think since it happened to be so close to the guitar's bend, it sounds as though it should match it.

The other is the very last word of the song, "shoes." It just starts off sharp and takes a second to reach down to the note. Being the final note of the song, I wanted to hear you hit that one more definitively, I guess.

A lesbian song? :) Don't hear too many of those. Or are you talking to a guy who stole your woman? It's a little hard to tell.
