Field Song

Field Song
original by P.C. Mateer

I'm not an expert
I'm not a specialist
I make things up as I go along

I'm not an expert
I'm not a specialist
I make things up as I go along

I'm an amateur
not a professional
out in the field and keeping it real

I'm an amateur
not a professional
In some dark holler I play what I feel

I'm not an expert
I'm not a specialist
out in the field and keeping it real

I'm not an expert
I'm not a specialist
I make things up and just play what I feel

Thank you, you are pretty darn good at making it up as you go along yourself!

[vjaspers0608]

well I like this sound, very authentic.

Well done, greetings from germany

[CurtisMateer]

@vjaspers0608 Thank you. It did (surprisingly) turn out sounding rather authentic. It's a bit funny too seeing it in sync with the real authentic artists in the video. Pete

Sound is sweet...raw and I can feel the way You're feeling...Nice one!

[CurtisMateer]

Thanks, one day music sociologists or anthropologists might trawl through all this stuff you and I and other YT songwriters are making the way the old ones did with the first field recordings because a global culture will have fully emerged from the grass roots and our stuff might represent the pioneering work...I wonder anyway...

[karlmahlmann]

Pete you've got a really nice sound with this and it all works together real well, a really raw and earthy sound and your statement about music - so true. Yeah, it all has to be real, from the heart. There are no experts. Take care my friend. Karl

[CurtisMateer]

Thanks Karl. Music from the heart is like light. Technical wizadry is from the light of intelligence and scientific discovery. Combine the two and it is light upon light. This isn't technically brilliant but at least you've noticed a bit of heartsong. If I had to choose between just the heart or slick production I'd go with the heart I think, so long as there was a good melody or rhythm to accompany it. See you. Pete

[reliablebow]

back again...I like the way You make it up....:)

Sorry I am late on this, had proplems with my pc. This is excellent, Pete, real to the bone blues rock. Fantastic intrumental mix and vocals, outstanding! Thumbs up & favourite!

Have a great week,

wishes
