It's about doing what you need to do for yourself in spite of people and distractions. Good pop song, with no shortage of guitars. Cool bass and guitar breaks.

Fresh straight ahead rock. It's powerful, melodic, fun, moody and punk depending on what song you're listening to. <br />But it's all THE NEAL.
Friend me on MySpace here: www.myspace.com/bfdneal I write and perform all music and lyrics, with the exception of the drums,which are either live,machine,or samples. Most of the recording and producing is done at my home studio. Most of my time is spent between L.A. and San Francisco and some of the talented artist I've had the honor of sharing the stage and playing with are: Slash from Guns 'n Roses/Velvet Revolver, Dave Grohl and Foo Fighters, Randy Castillo & Phil Soussan from 0zzy Osbourne, blues great Paul Butterfield,Bobby Vega(Sly Stone,Santana),and Greg Anton(John Lee Hooker,Zero). Past recordings include: Tara Sol(L.A.), Brantley Kerns(Dwight Yokum),Seanna Fisher(L.A.),Mama Iguana, Leo Fox, and others. The firery collaboration with Tara Sol got us to the top 50 finalist spot for the Annual Grammy Songwriting competition. I'm always ready to donate my time and energy to a good cause, past benefit concerts I've performed for include: the L.A. Weekly sponsered benefit for the Elizebeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS foundation at Dragonfly in Hollywood. And a performance at a city wide street fair against crime in front of the Rampart Police Station (isn't it ironic?) with Jerome from The Time. In 1998 I toured with Angelique (Red Ant) as support talent on her American tour. In 2003 I scored 2 independent film shorts for fatfilmz.com and currently I'm working on new film projects. In 2004 I moved back to the Bay Area and this year marks the debut of my solo effort, check out my new tunes on the 'music' page. Also in '04, some 'Neal' tracks were used in the erotic thriller 'Hot Blood, part III'.

Story behind the song
This song's sort of introspective. It's got various influences from my life. I always find that songwriting helps me sort things out, even if I don't know what they're about at the time. That is the exciting part of the process, you never know what your going to come up with. It's like a sonic and emotional grab bag.
Lyrics
Every time I look around I get real dizzy From all the shit that's going down And I am in it You're courage lies Deep inside your bottle A thin disquise You make the turn and throttle Every time I'm coming down Down from your highness Oh, look who's crown is broken now There's no more shining A better day, it never seems to follow A broken man, so strong and yet so hollow It tears apart, yeah every dream you're making And you know you can't be fakin' now guitar solo You can't fix you're damaged goods With could've would've should've(s) There's nothin left to do but live If you can only find time A better day, it never seems to follow A broken man, so strong and yet so hollow It tears apart, yeah every dream you're making And you know you can't be fakin' now Can't be fakin now Can't be fakin now Can't be fakin now Can't be fakin now
