Lyrics

Answer Me by Daniel Joseph Simons

When I'm calling, Answer Me.
If I'm falling, Answer Me.
Answer Me, Answer Me.

When I'm crying, Answer Me.
If I'm dying, Answer Me.
Answer Me, Answer Me.

I have called to you
on my knees.
Don't know what to do.
Answer Me.

When I'm calling, Answer Me.
If I'm falling, Answer Me.
Answer Me, Answer Me.

I know you are there.
Can't you see?
If you really care,
Answer Me.

When I'm calling, Answer Me.
If I'm falling, Answer Me.
Answer Me, Answer Me.

When I'm crying, Answer Me.
If I'm dying, Answer Me.
Answer Me, Answer Me.
Answer Me, Answer Me.
Answer Me, Answer Me, Answer Me.

Thank you for the nice comments. I grew up in the 60's and 70's, which is prabably why you're getting the Beatles and Beach Boys feeling. I did want to distort the recording a little, but, apparently, it's coming across as noticable rather than blending in. I will work on that. I have grander plans for the outro (better acoustic work and a feel where it would inspire hand clapping). Again, thank you for your feedback.

The lyrics make a really strong statement, and I love the directness of them.You back them up with some catchy melodies. Puts me a bit in mind of the Beatles (again) and the Beach Boys. The outro is a strong vibe. Recording sounds like it's distorting a bit (intentional?).
