A number of years back I was bumming over some chick. Friggin chicks. And I wrote and recorded a song which was originally intended for release on my second album, ‘First Sign of Anything’. The album started taking a different direction and the track got shelved because sonically it didn’t really fit.
Well, last night I was digging around in an old hard drive and found it, listened to it, and was like, why the heck didn’t I ever release this thing?
I’m actually thinking I might go ahead and do that at some point…
Anyway, it’s called ‘Don’t Be Like That‘ and I thought I’d share it with you guys and see what you think. I dig it.
To listen and download the track click the play button below. The player is locked, but as soon as you scroll over it you’ll get instructions on how to unlock it. Takes 4 point 7 seconds
Shoot me a comment and let me know what you think.

Great song that grows gently! John, please dont let such tracks gather dust. Dont be like that
Thanks Subhro. Will do.
Just listened to it with my 2 year old baby girl…. and she was bopping along to it!!! So with HER seal of approval… it’s golden!!!!! (and I loved it too
Thanks Sheila. Now I don’t need to spend money on all those expensive focus groups
But seriously, thanks for listening.
John – You have got to release this one! Why in the world you’ve been hiding it in your archives is beyond me. ;o)
Thanks Susan, yeah, I might just pull some of these off cuts that never fit on any albums and put together a whole new one. But I have another album already in line to come out first
Thanks for listening and for the kind words.
Once again proving that you have yet to make a song I don’t like. Well done!
Hey, my friend. That is a nicely written and performed song. Um…so what are you gonna do with it? Sounds like it should be on an album!
Yeah, not really sure. I think I will do something with it at some point. I have album number 4 in the can and ready to go out later this year. This track will have to hold tight for a little while longer. Thanks for the kind words.
I love it. When is your new album coming out ?
Haven’t finalized a date yet. Likely late summer/early fall. Thanks for the kind words and support.
That’s a GREAT track, John … The chorus is great. I really dig it !
Thanks Kinishao,
Much appreciated.
Nice song John. Liked the VMPlayer but especially the “Dude, pretty please message” Cool!
You liked that huh?
Me too
Hey John, I like it! I like the new changes to the Viral Music Player too. I’ll be trying it out again on my site with a new song very soon
Thanks Greg. I really appreciated your help with that.
