It might come true! The first song I wrote.
Hard-rocking, guitar-driven blues-influenced music.
Note June 2024: All of the songs with a RED guitar picture tag to the left were recorded LIVE over backing tracks created with an Nux Loop Core and an Ammoon Pock-Rock. Glarry GTL semi-hollow tele copy guitar used. Mini digital voice recorder with Shure and Fender mikes captured it all live.
All the songs with yellow guitar picture tag are the previously recorded blues style songs.
These are some songs I started writing and recorded in late 2005, early 2006. I recorded them at home in my loft using cassette machines and a couple of microphones. Pretty barebones stuff. I keep writing and adding new songs as I get the motivation. Life provides lots of that. Check out the videos that I just added, all performed with Crazy Mixed Up World. (see Crazy Mixed up World at reverbnation.com). Songs sound best with headphones.
Story behind the song
Wrote the words years ago - finally found the music.
Lyrics
BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR(DP)
(Written by David R. Pankoski Sep 2005)
Be careful what you wish for, be careful what you yearn
Once I was a stupid man, it took me years to learn….to be careful what I wished for…….
Just the other day, over at my buddys place,
He said he loved his woman, but needed a little space
Well I just heard he got his wish, but now hes all alone
His woman gave him lots of space, she just left their home
Be careful what you wish for, someday it might come true
Sometimes your best intentions, gonna make your life so blue…………
Every day I’d go to work, and dream of better days
I wished itd all go away, and give me time to play
Then one day I got my wish and was replaced by a younger man
No job & no money, but lots of time on my hands
Be careful what you wish for, be careful of your dreams
I used to dream my life away, wasting time on foolish schemes-----------
Just the other day I saw the woman to make my dreams come true
Well just like she was reading my mind, she made them all come true
It was as good as I could want but I overlooked one fact
She was the wife of a jealous man, now Im always watching my back
Be careful what you wish for, be careful of your dreams
Someday if those wishes come true, youll regret those selfish dreams--------
When I was a little younger, and closer to my prime
Aimless, bored, not content, wished for money all the time
Now I got it & what they say, I found out that its true
Now all my friends, new and old, they want it too
Be careful what you wish for, someday it might come true
Once you get all you want, you may find your life is blue---------------
One time I used to sit and dream, hoping my life would go faster
Not happy with what life had become, blaming some unseen master
Then one day I turned around, my life was halfway through
All that wasted time is gone, theres nothing I can do
Be careful how you use your time, Its something you cant recover
Live life right the first time, Your not gonna get another
