I like what I'm hearing. Pretty chill, but definitely a solid groove. I could see this one growing on me.

Re: If Only
 

WOW! That was a quick youtube post! Thanks man! I cant believe they debuted a new song at Blossom for us. It was quite the show! I am glad I was there to hear/see this song for the first time. It definitely has a great groove to it. This album cannot come soon enough! :thumbsup

Re: If Only
 

Publishing my video right now... 10 minutes away.

Re: If Only
 

It's actually not my video, but I'm equally grateful for the quick up. Glad to have such an awesome fan base for stuff like this.

Cross-post from DMBc:

Re: If Only
 

The lyrics seem to be allover the place without much thought, but I can dig!

From the snippet of music- I think I'll like it

Re: If Only
 

This reminds me of the 2004 stuff

Re: If Only
 

Yea, similar vibe to Crazy Easy mixed with a hint of John Mayer's guitar style. I like it.

Re: If Only
 

If Only is track #6 on the album for those keeping track.

Re: If Only
 

What track number is the Dave solo song? I thought it was #6?

Re: If Only
 

cheers to that!

Re: If Only
 

They are the same song.

Re: If Only
 

I am just a fool baby
Playing it Mr. Cool baby
Rolling around like I got
Nothing much to lose oh
But I know you and you know me
And I know you can see
So help me get my way back to you
Back to you

Re: If Only
 

Nice! I think I've expanded on your lyrics a little bit. Some of it's still a little vague...

Sometimes it's so easy
Sometimes I forget how
Much I want you back again, back again

Maybe it's lucky
You win some and you lose some
Oh, when you find a good one
Don't you let her get away
Don't you let her go
Aww yeah

If only I could love you
Just the way I want to
Oh I'd have you back again, back again

Oh I'm just a fool baby
Playing it Mr. Cool baby
Rolling around like I got
Nothing much to lose

Oh but I know you and you know me
And I know you can see,
So help me get my way back to you, back to you

Walking past your window
Used to smile when you'd throw
Your sweet kisses back to me, back to me

Oh, yeah
Remember when I asked you
If you'd be my one too
Oh, it seems like yesterday, yesterday

But I'm just a fool babe
Playing Mr. Cool baby
Rolling around like I got
Nothing much to lose awww

I konw you and you know me
And I know you can see,
So help me get my way back to you, back to you

Aww I want you, so take me back please
Take me back ahhhhhhh baby

If only I could love you
Just the way I want to
Yeahh, yeah

But I'm just a fool babe
Playing Mr. Cool babe
Rolling around like I got
Nothing much to lose awww

I know you and you know me
And I know you can see,
So help me get my way back to you

Aww I want you, so take me back please
Take me back ahhhhhhh baby

If only I could have you
Just the way I want to, just the way I want (yeahhhhhh)

Re: If Only
 

Yes! Thank you! Could not figure out what the hell that was :lol

Re: If Only
 

I love the way it sounds! Want to hear the studio version!

Re: If Only
 

OK I am that asshole. I bitched a ton about this song after the first bunch of listens. Let's just say this is not a song you want to hear when you're stressed out and in a bad mood because it comes off a tad annoying with the chorus. I dropped the mood and now I am starting to get into this song...a lot. Whoops

Re: If Only
 

Here is a download for the track. Great quality taped by M. Peters so thanks to him. Enjoy

Re: If Only
 

This sounds like the PG version of Smooth Rider.

Here's my video, a little shaky but I wasn't expecting to have my arms up for 7 minutes, enjoy!

Re: If Only
 

Strange... I thought this whole album was supposed to be about Obama? Maybe he's the one 'Playing Mr. Cool'? :rolleyes:rolleyes

Re: If Only
 

wow, really like this song. First one of the bunch that's got me bobbing my head. I do like Mercy and Gaucho, but this one has got me going. The lyrics aren't anything great, but the vocals are, so it's not really an issue. If we accept the fact that the great lyrics of the 90s are gone, we'll be a lot more satisfied. Regardless, love this tune!!

Re: If Only
 

Better yet, if we accept the fact that the 90's weren't all that amazing lyrically we can treat this newer music far more fairly.

I like this song a lot. Not my favorite of the new songs we've heard, but it's got potential to really be something special.

Re: If Only
 

I flat out disagree with your first point.

Re: If Only
 

Ok only first listen but I'm liking it, a bit slow but I'm bobbing my head and getting into it, once again zero will power, I told myself I wouldn't listen to any after mercy - fail!

Re: If Only
 

my thoughts too :thumbsup

Re: If Only
 

It's funny... some people listen to a DMB studio track, and instantly try to imagine how it will sound live. But I am always listening to these live tracks and trying to imagine how it'll sound on a studio recording.

I like this song--with Lillywhite producing it, I think we're going to get something very smooth and quite beautiful out of it. :D

Re: If Only
 

Same here. At this rate the album is going to be severely anti-climactic. Sigh. Why do we do this to ourselves? Or why does the band do this to us? Oh bother.

Fyi. We need an eyeore emoticon.

Re: If Only
 

Sorry it took longer than anticipated... here's my recording:
