This song describes an attitude I am sure we have all felt at one time or another, yet people have told me they feel a whole lot better after they hear it.

The joedai warriors features original introspective folk-rock songs by Joe Peters and the phenomenal musicianship of Michael Kelsey, 2004 Winner of Guitar Cente
The joedai warriors is a musical collaboration between me (singer-songwriter Joe Peters) and musician extraordinaire Michael Kelsey, 2004 winner of Guitar Center's National "Guitarmageddon" Competition for best unsigned guitarist in America. We first collaborated on 1998's "Given Birth," an independent CD release that features 13 of my songs that describe a variety of inner and outer experiences of life in the US and abroad. We have recently gone back into the studio to work on a follow-up album, "Rebirth," which was just released on December 11, 2004. While I play acoustic guitar and sing, Michael also sings backup and plays acoustic and electric guitars, banjo, bass, keyboards, mandolin, and percussion (to name but a few).

Story behind the song
Sometimes we’ve got to hit the bottom before we can rise to the top of our emotional roller coasters. Having just moved to Hanoi, Vietnam in September of 1998, I found myself alone in a hotel room not knowing what to do. I was about as blue as I could be, until one day I woke up and wrote this song. The funk lifted like a fog in the light of day. Mike: acoustic guitar, bass, percussion, harmony vocals Joe: acoustic guitar, vocals (Recorded November 12, 2003)
Lyrics
Low Down Funky Mood I don’t wanna go out, I don’t wanna stay in Don’t know where I’m goin, don’t care where I’ve been My stomach is growlin, but I don’t wanna eat I don’t like the cold, & I can’t stand the heat Well now I left my job, I couldn’t handle the pace I moved away, I couldn’t stand the place But now that I’m here, I think I’d rather be there You know my dream come true, is now my worst nightmare I’m in a low down funky mood So just leave me alone while I sit & brood I don’t mean to be nasty don’t wanna be rude But I’ve gotta a problem with my attitude Well now I wanna talk to someone, I don’t wanna be alone But if I’d ever hear it ring, I’d never pick up the phone My throat is dry, but I don’t wanna drink And I don’t wanna take a bath, but I’m beginnin to stink Well I should quit right here, cause it’s makin me blue But if I finish this song, I’ll have nuthin to do So I think I’ll go on, & continue to groan I’m beginnin to like, this here funky zone I’m in a low down funky mood So just leave me alone while I sit & brood I don’t mean to be nasty don’t wanna be rude But I’ve gotta a problem with my attitude Well now I know I should stop, cause I’m gettin to you So just one more verse, & then I’ll be through And if you don’t like these lyrics, cause I bitch & moan Then you just hum the tune, & make up your own I’m in a low down funky mood So just leave me alone while I sit & brood I don’t mean to be nasty don’t wanna be rude But I’ve gotta a problem with my attitude I’m in a low down funky mood I don’t mean to be nasty don’t wanna be rude But I’ve gotta a problem with my attitude A little bitty problem (he’s got a problem, a little bitty problem, he’s got a bad attitude)
