Lyrics

A sudden death would just remind you
Of all the things you have not seen
And some of them are just behind you
And some of them are just too mean

You`ve always tried to understand me
I`ve never known the reason why
My misbehaviour is not manly
But my rehearsals just a try

We`ve tried a lot to believe...

Dreamin` of the past is puttin` you down

You`re always tryin` to forget
- ignore
- get ahead
You`re always tryin`- tryin`

We`ve tried a lot to believe
(and some unbelievable secrets:))

	Just More Of The Same... good music, good recording, good vocals and harmonies and good musicianship from I.G.M. He consistently produces these high-quality performances and productions. Very nice work again, Ingo. Check out my latest song called A Night @ Neverland

	Great vibe You have a lot of good stuff in here. All quality, too. Great bassline and vocal- awesome guitar playing- rhythm and lead. What did you use for the lead? It's so crisp with a nice bite. Good song- d/l. Check out my latest song called Ballad of The Little Tiki

	Terrific Control This song...every element is just perfectly balanced. I sincerely admire the prodution, especially on the vocal. Every now and again one hears a song on MJ that could obviously be a real world hit. This is definitely one of those. I'm really, very, very impressed. Check out my latest song called Black Star (MJ Live Aid w/jgurner)

As always...
You are one of the most consistent performers. I had decided to
download this even before I listened to it, knowing the quality of your
work over the past months.

Love the guitar playing as always, and the vocals sound really good. With
your recorded vocals that good, I am definitely considering your advice
about the mic you recommended in the forum.

	Way to groove it, I.G.M. Dammit, I love this sound. "Just [you] and some other stuff" make some seriously great music. The changes are really fine. The harmonies are gorgeous. Reminds me of Level 42. And I can listen to that groove all day long. More really high quality music from Ingo. No surprises there... Check out my latest song called Just As It Is

Nice singing on that especailly and other parts of the singing. Cool Check out my latest song called The Bluebird Cafe (with two other guest)

	Like The COOL Breeze Up and Gone. Felt Damned when it closed out. Perfect Pitch. Perfect Balance. Laid Back with Big Push inside. Each Element is used Gracefully and they are Geogeous. Stunning. And a disarmingly Modest Present. Check out my latest song called Intimate Anyway

John Stebbe	John Stebbe said 1461 days ago (November 8th, 2005)
	I liked it . . . from the get-go. Reminds me of early Billy Preston tunes (Outa-Space, Space Race). Vocals are very well written and performed. From a structure standpoint, I like the space between each line of lyrics. Boy, this is really CD-ready, to my ear. Check out my latest song called NECAP Test song

This one's cool....
and lives from it's clear and simple groove and arrangement, don't get me
wrong folks, the word "simple" doesen't mean "bad". Guitars are also
played good, but maybe you could get some things groovier and even
clearer to the listener if you cut out some notes in the singlenote guitar
lines (the little cromatic piece) which are not "really" in line with the beat,
and vary the horn sounds in the Ref. section, maybe whith some rocklike
guitarchords wich would be a better connection to the rough rockguitar
solo.
Cool vocals Ingo-man
