Lyrics

'Good @ Being Me' © Mark S. Ludes (MSL)

V.1
Some people have a problem - with simple honesty.
Some people only hear - just what they want to hear.
They try so hard to be that everything to everyone.
And they change their mind just to agree, not too sincere.

V.2
I find I seem to be some one, that tells it like it is.
I don't believe in kissin' ass to gain an upper hand.
(Sometimes it gets me into lots of trouble), I don't score a lot of points.
But I feel that in the long run, most will understand.

Chorus:
Some people try so hard, to be somebody else.
Spend too much time trying to please, everybody else.
I take a lot of heat, but I say what 'I' believe.
I guess I'm pretty good at being me.

Break:

V.3
I listen to my friends when they are talking with someone.
I hear them sayin' things I know they really don't believe.
(They seem afraid to speak their mind and say) just, what they really think.
- It's like a bunch of lip-sync - they all nodd just to agree.

Chorus:
Some people try so hard, to be somebody else.
Spend too much time to trying to please, everybody else.
I take a lot of heat, but I say what 'I' believe.
At least I'm pretty good at being me.
2nd time just instr.
3rd time w/vox again - 'So much for being good at being me'.....

great vibe and cool bounce to the track.
Like the lyric content and what it has to say.

recording is very nice - bass tone is cool - (like the say you use the bass for fills before the chorus)

The lyric "good at being me" is pretty good and this song probably could be raised in rank with a more powerful mix/master cycle.

Great opening! Makes me happy right from the start. A little Steve Howe influence? Good positive topic. Creative way to get a positive message out there. Love the guitar harmonies.

Very evocative of an earlier era.
