This is just me being silly. I don't have any headphones yet, so I couldn't do the tracks separately. I just used one mic and my guitar plugged into the bose tonematch thing...but it's a start at least. There are so many effects buttons to play with in the reaper program and I have no idea what I'm doing with them, so I tried not to go crazy with sliding all the cute little buttons around!! :D

Any suggestions?

thanks Tobe. This one was inspired by a friend of mine (who happens to be one of the guys who've helped me by recording many of the songs I've posted on this site). He has obsessive compulsive disorder and he was telling me about some of the routines he does and it just sounded like a big freakin' headache and I commented that I was too ADD to be OCD. He thought that sounded like a funny song, so I wrote it for him.

here's the lyrics


He said, "Can I have your attention please.
I don't think you comprehend the complicated
nature of my compulsive needs"
I said, "Oh I can tell there's a ritual
to everything you do
But I'm too ADD to be OCD with you"

You're checking locks and counting footsteps
I'm cracking jokes and losing focus
I can't keep up with all those little picky rules
I'm too ADD to be OCD with you

So pass my Ritalin, and I'll focus if I can
on what I think you just said
If you shake your keys a certain way
it kinda helps to clear your head
but I can't shake what I can't find
I've lost those stupid keys of mine again
I'm too ADD to be OCD my friend

You're busy tying up the loose ends
I've been misplacing my prescriptions
I think I'm going off the deep end too
I'm too ADD to be OCD with you

I'm too ADD to be OCD with you
