Outlaw Blues - Track 2: It's All About Me

Contributed by Nazmythian on Thursday, 24th February 2005 @ 08:01:21 PM in AEST
Topic: group



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Slide Cotrelle … the man, the myth, the mystery

No one knows were he came from. No one knows where he went.
His music tells the story of a troubled lifetime spent
Running from his demons, chasing dreams he never met
In relative obscurity he passed along his debt
A record once recorded too long before its time
Purchased at a yard sale, and now his debt is mine
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~





Slide Cotrelle's
It's About Me
_______________________

Well you look at me one time
And we'll let it go at that
But I'll stick you in a heartbeat
If I catch you looking back

See, I live for the moment
And the music that I play
And I couldn't give a rip
If I don't make it one more day

Cuz, It's about me
It's all about me
Curse me seven ways to Sunday
Better pray I don't get free
I learned about debts from the very best
Yes the Devil helped me see
Ain't nuthin else that matters
When it is all about me

I lost my old man
Cuz he traded off his soul
He didn't read the fine print
And he had to pay the toll

So I grew up hard and calloused
Raised up by the street
Music is my family
The world is at my feet

And it's about me
It's all about me
You can cast your curses on me
Hope my knife you never see
I learned about debts from the very best
Yes the Devil set me free
An' there ain't nuthin else that matters
When it is all about me

If I believe you owe me
You can bet I'll make you pay
One way or another
We'll even up again someday

Cuz, it's about me
It's all about me
Curse me seven ways to Sunday
Better pray I don't get free
I learned about debts from the very best
Yes the Devil helped me see
Ain't nuthin else that matters
When it is all about me

It's All About Me
___________________
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There was more to the man than the music
And so much more to the music than the man
The blues were an extension of his life and his love
More than most could ever dream to understand
Slide lived his life through the bending of the strings
And he fretted every note he slid through
While he tried hard to hide what he felt deep inside
Those who listened to the tune surely knew

I can still hear this song
the same way I heard it in my head
when I first read it!

This is really good, Nazzy! It flowed so well, I can almost hear the music. :-) Lot's of emotion behind these words. Just excellent.

I swear i could hear the music in my ear, and i think that makes you both such great poets. You make your readers what you want us to hear, you project such details that we can just enjoy your creations to a never ending time.

This was really something and im so glad i got to see it.

Is this supposed to leave me aching, I wonder? Maybe it's just that I'm a fool for those that stuff the pain away deep (not thinking that it'll spit itself out sooner or later - one way or another). And Slide... has been stuffin' it, I think. The music... The Blues... how wonderfully appropriate that it would be so much, you know?

One tiny technical note... I think I'd strike "again" from the last sentence of the second to last stanza. It seemed to make the line a tad long... though.. as I type this I can't help but think I'd change my mind if I heard you sing it. So just ignore me if it seems right to do so. : )

Damn but you two are a fabulous combination! Another awesome piece, Nazzy & Gee. Well, well done!

Lost in it-
~Snemmy~

I love how there is the intro, and then the pics are rockin, and the songs are just perfect. I am really diggin this series. You have got me hooked.

"Well you look at me one time
And we'll let it go at that
But I'll stick you in a heartbeat
If I catch you looking back "

"Cuz, it's about me
It's all about me
Curse me seven ways to Sunday
Better pray I don't get free
I learned about debts from the very best
Yes the Devil helped me see
Ain't nuthin else that matters
When it is all about me "


Loves it!!! You should get this published....
