A hat tip to The Beatles' Second Album - and a fresh new sound for those too young to remember that great experience. Highest position in Pop was #3; Highest position in subgenre Pop Rock was #2.

I am an independent writer/performer/producer making summery sounds with lots of harmony, guitars, and emotion.
Brian Wilson said of his epic work Pet Sounds, "I wanted to make the listener feel loved." Those words have always remained with me and I hope to share loving, healing sounds with the listener as well.

Story behind the song
I wanted to get a rocking feel like the Beatles got on "You Can't Do That"... this song is not biographical....
Lyrics
I got a whole lot to say about the way that you make me blue First you love me then you hate me Then you don't know what to do Make up your mind Because a half-hearted love is untrue I get a smile and a kiss and I'm feeling bliss with you Then comes ice - that's not nice - and I'm sliced without a clue - Make up your mind Because a half-hearted love is untrue Baby likes to ride the fence To me it doesn't make any sense Why does she have to be so dense? Its breaking me down Taking me down Make up your mind Because a half-hearted love is untrue Now the past is the past and I've asked you to start anew Cling to me, let him be, that's the one thing you must do Make up your mind Because a half-hearted love is untrue

My head was going left and right while listening this song. That's good. The Beatles would probably be proud of your song ;)

Great song Johnny. Make up your mind cause you cant do that. LOL! Seriously love your energy, vocals and performance. I also have said you channel the fabs as good as it gets. Every part of your performance it is like you are an encyclopedia of the fab sound. Great work and top of the morning to you.

Wow Johnny! What energy you've put into this song! One of your best productions to date. Your screaming vocals at the end of this song blew me away! I had to play it more than once. This song seriously rocks!!!

Hi Johnny, Sandra Shimmer Puppy pointed me in your direction. Awesome sounds, very Beatles...very early Beatles (the way I preferred them)...

Wow, great job capturing that early Fab 4 energy. A guaranteed ticket to ride to Beatlemania. Evokes the fondly familiar groove of Beatles classics like "You Can't Do That." Stellar vocals sounding like John Lennon with a touch of John Fogerty. 5 stars plus.

Mr Johnny , I always really liked the intro to this song , the opening riff in it's beatly way and that 7 th chord sound are classic and for me the solo rocks solid authentic. The whole instrumentation is just great really hot , and the screaming like paul is great , should do some more like this again ? Your vocals are always outstanding , you have been blessed with a powerful set of vocal chords. this style is always so much fun to listen to like Juri and Dawn D's song about Monday. Also your Cover Of Tony's Song about Monday is a fantastic song to listen to . I have a song up called " lets dance " sort of a different stlye for me , lot's of mandolin . It is almost a happy upbeat song HA Ha ! But enough about me , WHEN are going to post something new or rerecorded or re written ? don't want to miss that . cheers D

A terrific 60's retro/Beatles style pop hit! And may I venture to say that you sing far better than the Beatles! You have captured that Beatles styling perfectly - superb job!

Hello Johnny, I keep coming back listening to "Make Up Your Mind" because the song, musically, is a toe-tappin', head-boppin' pleasure. Your vocal rip makes the listener take notice and empathize with the character's plight. The guitar ties it all in, with a no nonsense " I feel your pain, Buddy." Even with the retro feel (Activate Retro Fetal Position!), you added a tinge of freshness by using the upbeat tempo in contrast with the lyrics. Personally, I perk when a songwriter uses the technique. Thank-you for your always insightful comments with my projects. ~Sandy
