Story behind the song
I had sent this track to Jolee (Nora) several months ago but after no response I asked Gabe if he'd give it a listen. He did and wrote the lyrics and did all the vocals.
Lyrics
Don't Even Try I used to believe you were the answer to my prayers I laid all my cards on the table, but it got me nowhere chorus: don't even try to say that you love me fooled me once but I know the game don't even try to say that you need me don't even try to call my name I thought that I'd signed on for the long run just a fool with blinders on how could a girl with a face like an angel lie her way into another man's arms at first I wrote it off as imagination couldn't see the writing on the wall I thought your heart was mine forever now I see there was nothin' at all

Thanks folks! I wish Gabe was still willing to write and sing, but he said he doesn't have anything else to say.

Absolutely brilliant!! Perfect in every way - outstanding production and performance by both of you. Loving those vocals and the harmonies, guitar work is excellent and the whole vibe of the song just pulls you in right from the start. You really should try and get this one published gents, it's stunningly good.

Great collab Mike & Gabe!!! I always liked Gabe´s vocals and songwriter abilities, in this one I discover a new "timbre" and coloration of Gabe vocals performance!! Very good guys, a great Country/Pop song. Liked the guitar work and production as well, a stellar mix indeed. Respect to both of you Mike&Gabe, well done!! :)
