Love it! You're getting better and better with every song. The charging riff you have here reminds me a bit of the last few minutes of the song "Buckethead's TV Show" by Buckethead. (The downside to listening to as much music as I do is that everything reminds me of something else, haha).
Thanks Tom. I appreciate your comments, and I'm pleased that you listen so closely. I'm conscious that I don't have much of a voice, and I'm not very confident about singing. There is not much power or range there, and I've noticed that I'm kind of deeper and hoarser since being on some medicine this last few weeks. I wrote this lyric about a year ago, and I've been trying to fit a tune to it. Overall I guess I'm fairly happy with how it turned out. I want my efforts to have a style that mixes different elements and don't sound too predictable or boring. Getting my lyrics to fit is my second biggest problem. - Ideally I'd like to find someone to sing for me! Thanks again : )
You quite skillfully merge different kinds of styles in this song. If I might offer a suggestion: it would have been nice if your vocals were a little higher in the mix near the beginning of the song -- I was trying to catch the lyrics but they were obscured by the music. Other than that one very minor critique, this is one of your strongest songs, Steve!
My light-hearted take on a serious issue.
Over- prescription of powerful and addictive drugs, and the unknown and (to some) worrying relationship between doctors and the drug companies.

Here's the second song I recently decided to do with a studio recording from one I wrote and posted here a while ago as a purely vocal version. It's one of my favorites.... I hope you'll enjoy it too
Singing In The Silence
Verse 1:
Singing…
A Piece of Pi is our newest composition. It’s a brief summary of the story “Life of Pi”. A wonderful story needs a wonderful song. Hopefully we can meet this challenge and find like-minded people out there.
Jamming with a couple buddies. I screwed the lyrics up but it was fun to do. Who doesn't want to at least try an AC/DC tune?
A live recording:
Me: Vox, Bass
Joel: Guitar, Backing Vox
Chris: Drums, Backing Vox
Once in a nightmare
I knew you then
I think we were related,
I'm not sure
maybe we were strangers.
We'd look in windows and climb
the trees that grew,
and if it'd rained outside
we'd take off our shoes.
And when I'd see you
I would…

This was my attempt as a songwriter to make a commercially sellable song. It didn't work, but I love how it turned out anyway. These are the lyrics:
Got Feet, Won’t Dance
At the Lazy L he’s the head Ranch Hand
He came for whiskey…
Thanks Tom. Just a few noises thrown together and hopefully tuneful enough to endure. It's my tribute to V.H. but sadly without a voice like Dave Lee or an awesome guitar solo haha!

Thanks Michael. I'm always thinking that I shouldn't make long songs in case listeners get bored and switch off.
This one ended well before I was ready... more of this please! Well done & thanks for sharing. ~Michael
