I can't talk about it because I'm under an NDA.

Well done anyway.

I don't have to listen to people anymore telling me that I have no talent and that my music sucks. A paying gig invalidates those comments. The money is actually secondary. I'm just tired of all the "you have no talent" comments that I've been getting for 42 years. My recent success says otherwise.

So yeah, that's all I care about. The rest IS irrelevant.

One more comment and I'll be out of your hair forever. If THIS is what you took away from my feedback, then you're hopeless. Really. At no point did I say that you "have no talent" or that your "music sucks" - that's what you think about yourself, so stop projecting.
I just think that you could do a lot better, in every aspect EXCEPT the composition. The real issue is that you lack self-respect; it shows in your art, and it shows in your reactions to comments here. Then you try to fool yourself by saying you no longer care about what others think. You DO care - a lot more than is good for you. If not, why would you even NEED validation from anyone?

That's all. Best of luck with your future endeavors.

I didn't say that YOU said my music sucks. Others have. I could point you to some comments made here alone that would give you a real chuckle.

As for "I could do better", we all could. So what? And no, you're wrong. I don't give a damn what you think of my music, lyrics, performance or whatever. You can believe what you like.

Out of my hair for good? I hope so. Though I doubt it.

They always come back for more.

Just 2 more tracks to go and we're done.

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

Well, just the title track left and we're all done.

This one may be my favorite so far. Check out the Brian May guitar solo during the instrumental break. Vocals were a challenge on 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

You must really be bored to pop in here just to make totally irrelevant comments.

I know the forum has been slow but certainly you have better things to do.

And this finishes it. Regardless of what some people think, I think this CD is among my best work and I really enjoyed doing it. Hard to pick a favorite but this one has to be up there. My homage to Bohemian Rhapsody. Just not as long.

Relevant comments would really be appreciated.

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

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

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

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

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

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
