It Ain't A Burden

-----
(V1.)
I was making my way
Back in 2001
Working Towards A job
A Wife and a son
but when i woke up
it all changed on that day

I was right out there with everyone
if we know who did it let's send in the guns
but something wasn't right
Something seemed so strange

(CHORUS)
So ring it out like an old church bell
Scream it out loud "WE DON'T WANT THIS WAR"
It ain't a burden
We've beaten back lies before

So pull em' down and wave your arms
Carry your signs and honk your horns
It ain't a burden
We've beaten back lies before

V2.
So I left that life
Kicked open the door
Spent a lot of time
Thinking alone
How can we be quiet
I can't sit still no more

(chorus x 2)

Very nice

and well recorded to boot! Good job, jpass.

Say, gretavo -- and speaking of recordings -- do you have any genuine acapella of "gyrl"? The immutable, tweeting remnants of your guitar are driving me slightly mad whilst remixing :|

You are soundin' like the good South. I have friends outside of Raleigh-Durham. Good people, those Americans.

Thanks

Thank you all.

Bruce, I finally got a hold of a good condenser mic that I strapped to the ceiling fan and let it hang down so I could sit and record this. After years of toying around I still feel pretty inadequate at recording.

Laz, I've been picking up the twang ever since I moved down south. I think these nice Americans are ready for some 911 Truth twang.

i haven't been online much this week but going through the comments / blogs / and audios, this one is a real stand-out (not to take anything away from all the other excellent work around here since i've been missing) but yeah, impressive Jpass!

Submitted by Jpass on Wed, 2008-03-26 15:12.

Hello all,
I updated this song audio file with the new one that is a little better mixed and adds some background vocals.

Tell me what you think.
