'I've Been Good' - Original Music Exclusive for @DSound and @Steemit -
It's St Patricks day tomorrow - 17th March - and there'll no doubt be some huge drunken celebrations going on around the globe, but especially in Ireland and here in the UK! I wrote this song with that vibe in mind, but not intentionally trying to making it sound like an Irish jig tune that you'd possibly hear in a Dublin pub. I love the way that the organic acoustic instruments and vocal (that I accidently on purpose produced from my humble 12 track porta-studio) have turned out and hope you all like it too.
Lyrics -
I concentrated all my time
on the things I really undermined
of tales past and stories new
and thoughts of old they're all untrue
I should've of gone
and I should've stayed
well I've been good
and I misbehaved
the beer I drank and the songs I sung
the story starts the day has begun
the day has begun
I'm learning tricks now I'm a man
do all the things I know I can
to love a dame and set her free
invest her time in all that's me
The beer I drank and the songs I've sung
the story starts the day has begun
I should of gone and I should've stayed
well I've been good and I misbehaved
I misbehaved
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
I concentrated all my time
on the things that really undermined
of tales past and stories new
and thoughts of old they're all untrue
I should of gone
and I should've stayed
well I've been good
and I misbehaved
the beer I drank and the songs I've sung
the story starts the day has begun
I should of gone
and I should've stayed
well I've been good
and I misbehaved
the beer I drank and the songs I've sung
the story starts the day has begun
and the day has begun
The beer I drank
the songs I sung
the story starts
and the day has begun
Thanks for listening!

Awesome original song :) You have a great voice xx
Hey Mel!
Thanks for taking the time to listen to my music! I really appreciate it!
Can't wait to hear your new EP
Cheers
Darren
what a singer you are, nice one, like the percussion or clap in this one too
Cheers mate! It's a really jolly little song. It rolls along beautifully behind that descending guitar riff don't you think?
Darren
no doubt it does it's great!
Happy St. Patrick's Day Darren!
Wonderful , upbeat song! I like what I'm hearing from your humble 12 track porta-studio as much as your live performances that you record. But whatever you do, your music just seems to flow so easily. It takes me much longer to put into actual chords and notes, what I have in my head, and at this point, a live performance by me would be a disaster! :)
I tried to listen to this one last night, but the network was bad yesterday and I couldn't get it to play. But it's another great one added to your catalog, for sure! Cheers!
That was real nice. I was either way at the start but then it just took me away. Great work and well enjoyed.
Hey @article61
Cheers for listening to my new track!
I really like how this one turned out, lots of emotive stuff in there I reckon.
I think I'll be writing some more tracks this weekend if this weather carries on being ridiculous mate!
Cheers
Darren
I'm hoping for rain then. lol
Have a good one buddy. Take care if you do go out, them crazy leprechauns are out today :)
Exemplary work mate. I listened on Dsound before I read the post and I you nailed the theme. I was picturing a pub full of revelers singing along at the top of their lungs but I could equally see a stadium of die-hard fans doing the same, hanging off your every word. I love the guitar tone too, it has an uplifting energy to it and reminds me of Goo Goo Dolls 'Iris'. The tambourine gives it a great live feel too. I'm fast becoming a fan of your work @darrenclaxton, you're a great songwriter!
Hey mate! Cheers for listening bud! I'm discovering that I have many musical sides, just like a dice... It depends which number it lands on! I'd love to play a big gig like that man! Full band too! You can play the rhythm if you like mate? 🎸 I'm also loving your work too fella!
Great to meet you here my friend.
Cheers 🍻

I totally get where you're coming from, I've never been able to stay inside the lines and often go way off course and find myself writing a song that just doesn't sit stylistically with most of my work. I'd love to play rhythm for your stadium shows bro! That would be wicked hey! 🤘
Darren, amazing vocals are usual, I like the dynamics of the song and it takes off with more energy as it progresses. I also like that the vocals are harmonies sound natural and not overedited or overpolished they would sound if jamming with someone at a pub. It makes the audience closer. Happy St Patricks day!
Great song beautifully performed
