Story behind the song
My first recording with my new bass guitar, a Hofner Icon.
Lyrics
Baby, do you understand me now Sometimes I feel a little mad But don't you know that no one alive Can always be an angel When things go wrong I seem to be bad But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood Baby, sometimes I'm so carefree With a joy that's hard to hide And sometimes it seems that all I have do is worry Then you're bound to see my other side But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood If I seem edgy I want you to know That I never mean to take it out on you Life has it's problems and I get my share And that's one thing I never meant to do Because I love you Oh, Oh baby don't you know I'm human Have thoughts like any other one Sometimes I find myself long regretting Some foolish thing some little simple thing I've done But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood Yes, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood Yes, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

Outstanding!!!!. Your a musician I have a lot in common with. We have a lot of the same influences in our music. I did a recording of this very song but never put it on our band site. But I got to tell you you really did a wonderful job of making it fresh and yours. A really great new sound to it and yet at the same time you interpreted the mood of it as it was intended. Really captured the essense of the song. Your vocal style is a fantastic fit and especially with the accoustic rock. Looking forward to listening to more of your recordings. 5 Stars all around on this one. Best Wishes
