This is an original I did way back in 2009. Its changed some since I posted here way back then. I came across it the other day and frankly forgot about it. It needs some more tracks added to it. More lead guitar or maybe synth mid way through the track. I know most guys can relate to this (and maybe some women). Its about all those things that enter your mind when your mowing grass. Enjoy !!!

Lyrics Below


As I sit here on my mower
Im all alone with my thoughts
Never know which one to hold to
So many it drives me nuts

I shake my head to clear them all out
But I know I just cant win
I try to focus on my mowing
But those thoughts have crawled back in

Solitude of mowing the yard
Just me and the grass
Its like looking in to my soul
Thank God, just one more pass

I shake my head to clear them all out
But I know I just cant win
I try to focus on my mowing
But those thoughts have crawled back in

As I sit here on my mower
Im all alone with my thoughts
Never know which one to hold to
So many it drives me nuts
 
Guitar tones are great, remind me a little of early Sabbath. The vocals sound good but I'm not gone on the melody. Screaming lead break very cool
 
Yeah the Offspring thing I get :LOL: My voice is not that good. Sort of like Dexter's' from The Offspring. I need to redo the whole thing at some point. But life in general gets in the way. The Mower was recorded on a Mackie 1640i firewire mixer back in 2009. Damn !! 15 years ago. The rhythm guitar tracks are a Boss GT-8 DI'd into that old Mackie. The lead was a Boss GT100 DI'd. I collaborated with some members here on other tunes way back then. Wonder if any still are around ? JoeyM or Chili ?
