No Surprise

  • FormatWAV

I started out this song trying to be Stephen Stills but ended up more Neil Young. That's ok I reckon.

I used the Phil X Two Notes cabs on rhythm guitars. Tonemaster and Supro. Beasts!

The outro solo has some interesting inverse and shimmer reverbs. I think I can do more with these in the future.

I'd like to get them to spread into stereo more and really reach out and touch ya!

Maggie had to get out, get out on the road

Packed her guitar & a couple of old microphones

Writin' songs all winter on the farm she was raised

Putting pen to paper, cause some things she can't erase

It's no surprise, it's in her eyes (4x)

Her loves makes me feel good

She's been gone a long time, much longer than before

Me and old Ben sit there staring at the door

Think about the old times & what could've been

We miss our Maggie, need her home again

-Chorus

She called us up somewhere near Buffalo

She ain't comin' home now, joined a travelin' show

I still see her, her shadow in the hall

I'd take her back maybe see her in the fall

-Chorus
