Hey there everyone.... It's been almost a year since I have recorded any of my songs. This is the latest write of among some 10 others I've written this year. As always, any and all comments are welcome, while first impressions are most welcome.

 

“Go On Ahead”

Words & Music By Tom Tognaci

https://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=14831178

 
And if, by chance, you feel that I’d follow you blind
Over the cliff, with me right behind….
Go on ahead and make your case
Try to convince me with a straight face
Don’t mind my laughs
Oh, pretentious sage
I’m laughing at the curtains you peer through on stage   

And if, by chance, you feel that by coming on strong         
I’ll see the light and where I’ve gone wrong….
Go on ahead and make my day
Try to persuade me to try your way
Don’t mind my jeers
It’s all in good fun
Your odds of changing my mind are zero to none

And if, by chance, you feel that the mask you have on
Cleverly hides the face of your con
Go on ahead, give it your all
Make up and clown suit, juggle that ball
Don’t mind my back       
As I walk away
I’m on to much better things. You have a nice day

And if, by chance, you feel that I’d follow you blind
Over the cliff, with me right behind….
You go on ahead

Hola @IronKnee
Me gusta como suena.
I heard you on the other forum and I'm listening to you again now.
Good song, simple but dense and a guitar as a good companion

Hey man. that's a real good acoustic song . Cool riff flowing going on.

[IronKnee]

Thanks Elvis......you are most appreciated!

Hi @IronKnee

Great song and the acoustic guitar perfectly compliment your great vocal take.

Its a sign of a good song if it still sounds good stripped down like this.

It would work just as well with a full band arrangement but there's nothing wrong as it is. Well done.

@IronKnee  Nice to hear from new material from you Lovely acoustic recording and production. Some nice lyrics too .. .love the "if the mask you have on" lines Kevin

[IronKnee]

Thanks, Kevin.... I'm glad you like it. I just wonder if our days are numbered with this new exploration in A.I.
It won't be long when we won't be able to listen to anything but

Hey TT - I understand if you have a particular point of view but think this could apply to any and all sides of the political debates we are currently having around the world (and I think that kind of universality is a good thing in terms of reaching the audience). It does have a little cutting edge in the vocal which suits the theme. Nice guitar runs too - a good song, well performed and captured.

Hey there Adam......you summed up my intentions quite nicely. Just trying to keep it civil, and non-triggering :-)

Thanks for listening and commenting

I really like the lyrics.. Clever and direct. Mostly I love the arrangement and that lovely guitar and voice, folky at heart, just as I love it. Great to hear something new from you @IronKnee ..

Hey there, K................ thanks a bunch for stopping by. I appreciate it. While I have been busy, I've been doing much more writing than recording.
Take care,

I really like this.  The simple vocal & guitar arrangement suit it perfectly.  The back-and-forth swing of the melody is really effective.

But I think my favorite part of this song is the lyrics.  You've really worked in some great turns of phrase, and starting each verse with "And if..." just instantly makes the listener lean forward as if eavesdropping on some particularly juicy drama 

Looking forward to going through some of your old posts to catch up!
