Get My Soul

	Tommy Elskes Get My Soul	Tommy brings great passion to everything he sings, which can range completely over any songwriter's work - he easliy could have been the sole artist for all of Taking Turns. I've known for most our long friendship that the time would come when he would be exactly the right voice. Check out his CD Bohemia. For a long time he could be coaxed out of New Mexico only occasionally, and such an occasion while visiting with friends in Cuero made him available to record.Tommy drove up to Layton's studio in Manchaca to cut the basics with Denim. Listening to Tommy's first few vocal phrases, Layton sputtered, "What an instrument!" Later, Riley laid down the vintage Hammond C3 w/ Leslie at Cedar Creek. Then at Flash's, we recorded Fenner and Pearcy together for the percussion parts. (Man, talk about ear candy! ...and Joe, another favorite guitar player of mine. His slide here embraces the tension of meandering chromaticism pitted against pedal roots and modal tones. Ringtone right-click to save target

GET MY SOUL Girl, the time has come to face the situation, That loving you has almost been my ruination. When you were poor, I gave you money. I gave you warmth when the night was cold. I let you take my heart and hand, But I’ll be damned if you GET MY SOUL. The hell of who we are is an illusion. We can’t make sense of all of this confusion. You wanted me to be somebody That you could pour into your mold. How can I make you understand? I’ll be be damned if you GET MY SOUL. Can’t GET MY SOUL! You wanted me to be your mortal savior. But I can’t cleanse the sins of your behavior. There in the darkness of my shadow You placed your life under my control. I‘ve taken all that I can stand And I’ll be be damned if I'll take your soul. O-Oh No! Can’t GET MY SOUL! O-Oh No! Can’t GET MY SOUL! O-Oh No! by Fletcher Clark ©2010, Armadillo Music (ASCAP). All Rights Reserved.
