I can not get rid of the feeling, A Rock And A Hard Place could be a Beatles song. Maybe a little too funny for this all star band.. Nice work, though, enjoyed listening.

Thanks for the listen and the feedback. Much appreciated.

8th track from my upcoming CD "Queen For A Day"

This one came to me in like an hour. Pretty much wrote itself. Had fun doing it. That's all that matters.

Alias Smith And Wesson

I got you in my sights
Ready to pull the trigger
I'll never back down from a fight
We'll see whose gun is bigger
You won't see it coming down

Bang bang (Ready aim fire)
Bang bang (This gun for hire)
Bang bang (Your life will expire)
Bang bang (Death to the liar)

I caught you in deceit
Thought you could sneak one by me
But I smelled your dirty feet
Teach you to never try me
Now you won't see it coming down

Repeat Chorus

Instrumental Break

Repeat Chorus

And now you're dead and gone
It really was so easy
And me I'll just go on
Your death it sure does please me
And you never saw it coming down

Repeat Chorus

9th track from my upcoming CD "Queen For A Day"

Only 3 more to go and it's done.

Can't Please The World

You're doing it wrong
That's what they all say
You should just give up now
Well I don't know about that man
Why don't you show me how

You're doing it wrong
Your life is wasted
You should just pack it in
Well I don't know about that man
Cause I'm just about to begin

One thing that I've learned in all this time

You can't please the world
So you gotta please yourself
Leave your cares right where they are
On that dusty shelf
You can't please the world
So don't you try it
Give me love or I can buy it
You just can't please the world
No no
You just can't please the world

You're making a mess
Or so they declare
You should just clean it up
Well I don't know about that man
I think I'll wait until I've had enough

One thing that I've learned in all this time

Repeat Chorus

Instrumental Break

I can’t see the Queen that I know in this. I like their work from Flash and past. I’d like to see a style in their 80’s style, something like the Flash soundtrack. If you don’t have OP-X II Pro, you could use something else, but if you have it, I’d recommend making a Flash Gordon style track and programming a few synth patches a la Queen (synth strings and brass, solo lead, synth bass). The first track does sound more like ELO, yeah.

gordons alive!

I have OP X II. I have no desire to make a Flash Gordon style track. And yes, I'm sure the first track sounds more like ELO. Sounding like Queen is tough. This was a doomed project from the start. But you know what? I don't care. I'm enjoying doing it and that's all that matters.

Not sure which track this comment is in response to, not that it matters. But I am curious.

[Music Bird]

You did a good job capturing the early Queen sound. That’s all that matters!

10th track from my upcoming CD "Queen For A Day"

I guess this is Queen does punk, or whatever.

All Over But The Shouting

All over but the shouting

Pots and pans flying round the room
Don't forget to duck
Hopefully we'll make it out alive
Better wish us luck

Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh
All over but the shouting (repeat)

When she gets this way look out
She's a bitch in heels
She'll decapitate you in a flash
And she makes no deals

Repeat Chorus

There is no exemption
There is no return
There is no redemption
So beware
When she's there
You don't dare
Cause you'll get burned

Instrumental Break

Repeat Bridge

If you see her on the street
Better walk away
Cause she'll kill you with a stare
For the words you say

Repeat Chorus Twice

Relationship troubles?

[wagtunes]

Relationship troubles?

No. Happily married for 35 years. But thanks for asking.

Does anybody around here have anything positive to contribute?

Sheesh.

[Bansaw]

I like Alias Smith and Wesson, the chorus is the best.
Your chouruses and bridges I generally like, as well as how you end a song.
Liked how you did this, "So beware,When she's there,You don't dare,Cause you'll get burned".
Us married folk have all experienced that at some time at least, even those happily married!

11th track from my upcoming CD "Queen For A Day"

Probably my favorite so far. Really had fun doing this one.

Give In To The Dark Side

Don't fight it
It'll get you sooner or later
She wants you
Even though I know you hate her
You can't stop it now

Give in to the dark side
It'll take you to places unknown
Give in to the dark side
She will never leave you alone
Your fate is sealed
You can't be healed
That devil she ain't gonna deal
So give in to the dark side

You knew it
She was bound to get you forever
Stop running
She'll love you boy if you let her
You can't stop it now

Repeat Chorus

Goodness doesn't look good on you
Evil is the girl you should do

Instrumental Break

Repeat Bridge

Repeat Chorus 2 times

12th, title and final track from my upcoming CD "Queen For A Day"

Queen For A Day

Intro (23 seconds)

Isn't she lovely
Isn't she wonderful
No one else like her
No one can compare
For this she's waited all her life

Verse

What you know
She's a girl of girls of girls
Watch her go
Painted nails and golden curls

She's a dream
Walking down the corridor
Made of cream
Men they want her more and more

Chorus

Queen for a day
Sitting on majestic throne
Come here her say
Think I'll have an ice cream cone
Sparkling smile
She can charm a rattlesnake
And all the while
As she bakes a layer cake

Verse 2

Takes the prize
No one else comes even close
Look in her eyes
Just like eating jam and toast

Dignity grace
All the things that you'd expect
Satin and lace
That she wears with much respect

Repeat Chorus

Bridge

Now it's time to take away the veil
Pop open a bottle of fine ale
This is what we've all waited for
Time for us to open the door
Tell us more tell us more
Tell us what she's won
Oh joy we're having so much fun

Instrumental Break

Finale

Time to go home
Hope you'll come again real soon
While she's alone
Crying in her empty room

Queen for a day
Afterward there's nothing left
What's there to say
Life it leaves you just like that

[aaron aardvark]

wagtunes,
Thank you for the reviews! Now your music: "Dark Side" I like the vocoder (I assume) vocals; reminds me of E.L.O. and Devo (a strange duo?) vocoder vocals. Lead guitar playing is good, though the tone sounds a bit muffled. Nice melodies & drum beats. A pleasant song, even if I don't want to give into the Dark side.
