Song information
Musically, this shows my classic rock roots. The guitar riff in the intro and chorus, and the synth that comes in mid way through was an imitation or tribute to Foreigner's "Feels Like The First Time." The lyrics were written at the end of 2021 as we were coming out of the pandemic. They're about how there seemed to be much more competition for stage time and gigs than there usually is due to the fact that things were opening up again. I also remember the Delta variant being a big deal then and nobody was sure then if that was going to mean another lockdown, which also gets referred to. I have a version of this with just myself, but I felt this was one song where my vocals just couldn't do it justice, hence the participation of Socialite 1957. Let me know what you think. It's had a positive response from those who have heard it so far.

Lyrics
The big book is on fire
Fueling everybody's desire
And they're all getting restless
Gotta find a way outta the mess

And they come to the spotlight
Head for the stage
And you know they can't wait around
I get high, I get low, and I swing to and fro
In the end it's gonna drag me down

It's twice two many times
It's better to take the fall
Second time was one too many times
Makes you feel so very small

When everybody looks for answers
You know the winds that they never lie
Some things can chill you to the bone now
When you feel your ambition's blown

With everybody pushing each other
There's really no place to hear your sound
I get high I get low and I swing to and fro
In the end it's gonna drag me down

It's twice two many times
It's better to take the fall 
It's twice two many times
It's better to take the fall
It's time to take my mind inside

It's twice two many times
It's better to take the fall
Second time was one too many times
Makes you feel so very small

It's twice two many times
It's better to take the fall
Second time was one two many times
Gotta go down down down

Mark- I surely appreciate your trust in me to deliver for you and each time I hear your composition, I hear a myriad of influences- this time hearing Steely Dan meets Tom Petty. I would be open to providing vocals for future projects with you. your professionalism is top notch.. Thank you to all that listen.

You two make a great team! Really dig the "voice" on your guitar. In places Joyce's phrasing reminds me a little of George Harrison! Weird... but it works! Enjoyed the music. Appreciated the message. 👍👍👍
