Song information
Craig Bakay (a superb lyricist - singer/songwriter) and I collaborated on this song back in 2005. We did a number of songs together. I consider this song one of my favorites. It was early in the goings with GarageBand and my mix was very much the work of a rookie. I lost the original GB file years ago. So, I sent the mp3 to Tom, who salvaged it the best he could given what he had to work with, remixed it and I I think did a great job. Listen and see what you think.
The song has a Dylanesque feel which to those who know me isn’t a surprise. Aside from the vocals (me and Craig) there’s keyboard organ and trumpet, guitar, harmonica, bass, percussion.

REASONS TO GET WEARY 
- All Music tracks by Jack Miller
© Lyrics 2005 Jack Miller & Craig Bakay
 
 
Reasons to get weary
Reasons to give up
Reasons that tell you
You’re fresh out of luck.
 
I could tell you a story. I could bend your ear.
But it’s all too familiar, the reasons all too clear.
 
If you could walk just one mile in my shoes,
You’d be thinkin’, “Hey, what’s it all been for?”
All the roads lead to that same old dead end
And that’s where I find myself, once more…
 
Reasons to get weary
Reasons to go on…
Reasons to keep moving
When expectation’s gone.
 
Bridge:
It’s a story that’s so very old.
Every man knows it well.
Where’s the path before me leading to?
It might be heaven, but I fear it might be hell.
 
Reasons to get weary
Anxieties to spare.
Reasons to keep grinning
When you just no longer care.
 
Somewhere through the mysteries a light must shine
But it’s never shone for me.
Still I wake every morinin’, drag myself outa bed.
And keep on searching, searching endlessly.
 
Reasons to be hopeful
Few and far between
Those reasons keep me going
You might know what I mean.
 
I could tell you a story. I could bend your ear.
But it’s all too familiar, the reasons all too clear.
 
{Bridge} repeat
 
Reasons to get weary
Reasons to give up
Reasons that tell you
You’re fresh out of luck.
 
I could tell you a story. I could bend your ear.
But it’s all too familiar, the reasons all too clear.

@jmill   Thanks, but it was not really a remix, I just tried to clean it up and master it. 
But an mp3 will never be as good as a wave file
It has some crazy sound on it but it did sound better than the original
I could make a better job if I have all seps :)  Next time /Tom
