Checked Out - Wade Johnston & The Navigators (Original)

The Blue Rock Tavern - 9:30 PM on August 23, 2009
4114 Hamilton Ave, Cincinnati, Ohio 45223

LYRICS:
You see I'm checked out and I haven't checked back in.
Since you walked out, I don't know where you've been.
You see I'm falling, falling apart.
So come put me back together baby, show me where to start.
Somehow I got away from you. I don't know how to reach you.

I've been maxed out since I don't know when.
So thin and stretched out, I'm crawling in my skin.
And now I'm stalling, waiting for you.
So come give me an answer baby, or else we're through.
I'm holding on to something that's not there, but I don't know how to leave you.

You see I'd checked out, but now I'm checked back in.
And I've got no doubt, I'll never be the same.
Cause I was falling, falling apart,
But she put me back together baby, she restored my heart.
I finally got away from you--about time I released you.

OK, I'm gonna get hate comments like every time I try to offer constructive criticism, but here goes. This song has real potential, but it was performed in WAY too high a key. Instead of sounding intimate and personal, it sounds disconnected and strained. So, I'd put this in a lower key. I think it would sound so much better and authentic. Just because u can sing high, doesn't mean u should. And girls, save your hate -- I know he's cute, I don't deny, just trying to help the musicianship.

[lukuleles]

you guys need new band outfits.

Not original sorry. See the start and other parts of your "original song" and compare with "My Girl" of the unique "The Temptations".

So I just realized you've been wearing an earring now and then, pretty much since you started posting videos. How unobservant am I, not noticing until now!? XD
