Song information
Musically, my huge Steely Dan influence, I think, has shown up in previous tunes in mild to moderate ways, but here, I really bring it to the forefront. Lyricwise, I think it's just part of being human that no matter how good you might have it, or if even if you count your blessings, you'll still find yourself wanting more and, or wishing you had stuff which you don't.

Lyrics
This song could be about anyone, it's true
It just might as well be about you
Suppose I had three kids and a wife
In a suburban house with no strife
I work at home so I don't get around much
But when I go out it tends to hurt a bunch

Everybody drives an SUV
And I drive a Camaro and so i thas to be
Seeing smartwatches can get you down
When I'm telling time on an old school hand me down

CHORUS:
Still want....still wanting things
That I can't have anytime anywhere
Still want....still wanting things
That I can't have anytime anywhere

Take two,  another day has begun
Got to see what there is for fun
Go to Fremont, haven't been there in years
Plenty of places to forget them fears
Five star thai and a bottle of merlot
And I sneak in an improv show
But when I see old friends, I get the scoop
How they manage to get at top model sloop

How they manage to around the world in a year
And I'm lucky to go one place every two years
Makes frustrating thoughts in the head
And makes it hard when it's time for bed
Cause I'm....

REPEAT CHORUS:

Nice groove. I'd drop the bass down a bit, too in your face right now. Dig the harmonies. Nice relaxed vibe. Is that a picture of you busking? That's cool. Respect to all buskers. Well structured song, nice songwriting. Enjoyed!

Definitely has that '70s jazz rock vibe, but you take it in your own direction and the final result works as an original work that wears its influence on its sleeve. This is a solid track -- well done!

Sorry it's taken so long to get to this Mark. Been a super busy several days. Steely vibe so strong here. And that's a good thing! Lyrics are stuff if life in the post modern world stuff. I relate and then some! I do battle with this part of myself continually. Very nice vocals and BGVs. And I always enjoy your restrained yet TASTY lead licks! 👌👍😋
