Song information
This song is a multi-section blues-rock/funk concoction built entirely on contrast—moving from an alt-blues-rock rhythm section to a laid-back jazz/funk pocket, and back again.

Many thanks to iCompositions legend jalanix whose stunning guitar soloing in the middle section takes this song to new heights.

Lyrics
Verse 1

I was a liar, you were to blame. You lit the fire; I was the flame.
Let’s start all over, drive the rover on the lunar plain.
Here’s my shoulder. Drink some Folgers, banish all our pain.

I was the tiger, you were the cage. You like desire; I was enraged. 

Let’s end our bad dance, put on some Delta Grit Smooth.


Verse 2

Got myself fired; you didn’t shame; your words inspired; my tongue was tame. 
Bury the hatchet, not rehash it on the Williams train.
Repair the border, name the disorder, cast aside disdain.

When I listened, you stuck with me; You started kissin’, I couldn't flee.

Let’s end our bad dance, put on some Delta Grit Smooth.
Description of Ai usage
I used my own vocals on this track, but ran them through AI-generated IKM ReSing software to transform the vocal timbre. Logic Pro 11 Session Players were used for drums, organ, bass, and mellotron. The final mix was also AI assisted.  The guitar intro and its repeat @3:22 is a stock Apple arrangement loop. Other Apple FX loops are interspersed throughout. In a couple of spots where the AI bassist wasn’t doing what I wanted, I played bass. The rhythm guitar parts are mine, and Jalanix’s guitar soloing, is absolutely real. The compositional structure and lyrics are my own. Photo courtesy of Shoham Avisrur – unsplash.com

Like @Wyndsok , i really appreciate your precise info about the use of AI. It helps to understand your sound, and not "guess"... That's a very cool composition and all instruments are placed with care and intent. The guitar work is beautiful, and that solo is splendid. Great collaboration!

I was listening to this and I started to feel like I was being taken for a ride in a good way.    Like I was floating on air.  Kind of reminded me of some of the stuff Jeff Beck  did as well as DIre Straits "Brothers In Arms' album.    I mean all that in a good way.
