| Hi all, It's been great to download and start listening to the Steinman demos that were posted on the board this week. I've been out of the loop for a long time so this was a perfect week to check out the board again. There are some songs, like "Yogi", which I haven't heard at all before, which is obviously a rare and exciting treat. I'll try to keep up better with the board now that these demos are out there and there's something "new" to discuss. On a totally different (unrelated) note, I attach two different versions of a recent song (no music yet) of mine called "Rocky Balboa". It has nothing to do with the movie and it's not Steinman-esque at all, but please let me know your thoughts if you do read it (and whether you like/which parts you like better in the first vs second version). /Jimmy G Rocky Balboa (version 1) ------------------------ The bulletins of bullshit have announced The dawn of a bleaker age Sometime I wish I could renounce That one title from my name But my pride's at stake So I have to take Every chance that I get To fight those damn allegations And the sick degradation So I cover my fists Taste the pain on my lips This one's gonna hurt For every wound my life is worth CHORUS Just like Rocky Balboa I'll rise up Every time life knocks me down Just like Rocky Balboa I might lose the fight But I'll go 12 rounds For every drop of blood For every doubt of God I'll believe even harder And I'll push even further Just like Rocky Balboa The paradigms of power have shifted Even further to insane When the smoke filled clouds have lifted I'm still covered by the stains But my scars run deep So I have to seek Every chance that I get To fight those damn allegations And the sick degradation So I cover my fists Taste the pain on my lips This one's gonna hurt For every wound my life is worth CHORUS Just like Rocky Balboa I'll rise up Every time life knocks me down Just like Rocky Balboa I might lose the fight But I'll go 12 rounds For every drop of blood For every doubt of God I'll believe even harder I'll push even further Just like Rocky Balboa When the page won't turn And the bridge won't burn You've got yourself to blame If your life goes up in flames Don't let those years in the gutter go to waste CHORUS Just like Rocky Balboa I'll rise up Every time life knocks me down Just like Rocky Balboa I might lose the fight But I'll go 12 rounds For every drop of blood For every doubt of God I'll believe even harder I'll push even further Just like Rocky Balboa ___________________________________ Rocky Balboa (version 2) ------------------------ The bulletins of bullshit have announced The dawn of a bleaker age Sometime I wish I could renounce That one title from my name But my pride's at stake So I have to take Every chance that I make To fight those damn allegations And the sick degradation So I cover my fists Taste the blood on my lips This one's gonna hurt For every wound my life is worth CHORUS Just like Rocky Balboa I'll rise up Every time life knocks me down Just like Rocky Balboa I might lose the fight But I'll go 12 rounds For every bruise For every scar I'll push even harder Until I raise the bar Just like Rocky Balboa The paradigms of power are shifting Even further to insane When the smoke filled clouds are lifting I'm still covered by the haze But my scars run deep So I have to seek And I won't go weak To fight those damn allegations And the sick degradation So I cover my fists Taste the blood on my lips This one's gonna hurt For every wound my life is worth CHORUS Just like Rocky Balboa I'll rise up Every time life knocks me down Just like Rocky Balboa I might lose the fight But I'll go 12 rounds For every bruise For every scar I'll push even harder Until I raise the bar Just like Rocky Balboa And when the page won't turn And when the bridge won't burn You better get schooled and you better learn Because you can't revisit, you can't return Cause you've only got yourself to blame If your life goes up in flames CHORUS Just like Rocky Balboa I'll rise up Every time life knocks me down Just like Rocky Balboa I might lose the fight But I'll go 12 rounds For every bruise For every scar I'll push even harder Until I raise the bar Just like Rocky Balboa | |
