Name: BONUS TRACK - I Tried (demo version)
Duration: P00H03M29S
Description: This is the original recording of this opening song from my "Watered Down" album. The lyrics came first, then I composed the guitar part while recording it, then I composed the melody as I recorded the vocal. It's a bit different from the finished version, but mostly in the production & instrumentation.

lyrics

no excessive detail here
i'd rather just tell it straight
when I'm feeling something big
the urge to shout can be great

i know it's not so polite
to say what everyone is thinking
and maybe i've got loose lips
cause this ship looks to be sinking

ch
i tried, i tried
i tried to hold it inside
i tried, i tried
but my heart would not be denied

some people walk around
never addressing the fact
that the elephant in the room
ultimately remains intact

so i'm sorry if you're hurt
by the truth that i let slip
if you let it take the wheel, though
you're in for one rough trip

about

chris hardy world Edgefield, South Carolina

I write songs myself. I record them all myself. I play all the instruments (including real actual drums) myself. I sound like a band yet I am just one little guy. I do everything myself - the only job you have is to listen and enjoy! Isn't that easy?
