Yet another cookie-tin rave-up. I wrote this song just after my divorce, 13 years ago. It certainly taxes the abilities of the Flip Video microphone. Hang in...

  • Nice Tone... good rocky tune... losers will be winners you know...
  • That sounds like a winner to me. The balance sounds good to me.
  • Thanks, everybody.  I like the tone of this guitar, as an electric.  I turn the tone knob down to about 3 or 4 to get a "growlier" response from it.  It is quite metallic-sounding, acoustically (imagine that!), and it can really scream if you dime the tone knob while playing through the amp.  But, it's a bit too screechy for my tastes, at that setting.
  • Great tone and what a cool amp too!
  • Great metal tone!!! (-:
  • Good lyrics, Jon, long enough to tell the story ~  and some times, all too true.  

     

    Got a motto for us:  "Three strings, three chords and the truth."   Hmmm.   Three beers?   Three ?

  • Good one!  Nice crunchy tone.
  • Thanks, Uncle John.  There aren't a whole lot of words to this song.  But, here they are:

     

    CHORUS:

    I'm the born loser, Lord I just can't win

    I'm the born loser, Lord I just can't win

    Try so hard, I tell you it's a sin

     

    VERSE ONE:

    I get up, I get knocked down again

    I get up, I get knocked down again

    I try so hard, I tell you it's a sin

     

    VERSE TWO:

     

    Think I'll get drunk, I'll drink a glass of gin

    Think I'll get drunk, I'll drink a glass of gin

    The bottle is empty, Lord I just can't win

    One thing I am really working on is balancing vocals and instrumental, where everything comes through.  I was hoping that amping the vocals would help...

  • Got that tin going strong, Jon.   I had a bit of trouble getting all the lyrics, but what I did sounded good.
