Story behind the song
A song about following your head and not your heart. Life gets complicated when you don't let go of some of the past. I was privileged to have Gene Hilbert play guitar on this track. Gene is a professional guitar player from Atlanta USA, with decades of experience, and is available for live gigs, tours, private functions and studio session work. He can be contacted via his soundclick page http://www.soundclick.com/genehilbert All other music tracks & vocals were written, produced & performed by Rodrica Rudge.
Lyrics
Complicated Life You keep on talking Do you have a point, Or are we walking aimlessly? Tell me more or tell me less 'Cause either way, you know it's just An invitation to the losing side In your complicated life. Complicated, complicated life You say you're sharing All those little plans, Or are you wearing someone down. Though I watch the things you do My admiration follows you I'm passing up the chance to hitch a ride In your complicated life. Complicated, complicated life You keep on moving In and out my space, My sorcerer, my thief, my clown, All the ends are left undone, Too loose to strangle anyone, Won't take the blame 'cause you won't say goodbye In your complicated life. Complicated, complicated life. You won't say goodbye Complicated, complicated life. Copyright 2010 Rodrica Rudge All Rights reserved

Easy listening beautiful pop song, good instrumentation on top of great lyrics you write. Sometimes I double on my comments on certain songs, due to listening again and capturing multi feelings about them, they are great and deserve it. Keep up the great works.

Spinning complicated life Makes me wonder if I was commenting on another track before. In any case love the lead guitar work. An excellent collab. Your vocals are top notch and as always your production is top shelf. Very good track.

Hi Rodders :) Another great track with a feel that takes me back to times when life seemed less complicated, despite the lyrics lol. Speaking of the lyrics they are, as I have come to expect from your songs, thought provoking and suggest observation based on personal experience. Musicianship, arrangement and production of the highest level. I think I'm going to have to make a station just for your songs. :)
