Love Didn't Change The Man was written for a songwriting group that I am in. We were all challenged to write a song within 2 weeks that contained the phrase "love didn't change." I came up with several ideas for lyrics, but the one that stuck the most was the concept of no matter how much a woman tries to change her man, no amount of love can change his basic instincts. There are two stories told here, one about a guy who is a player and moves on from woman to woman and the other is about an abusive alcoholic. Not the positive uplifting messages that I usually write about, but this was fun stretching the songwriting muscle to explore different subjects.

Musically I tried something different too. On my back porch, there is a utility cart that has been turned upside down to hold the Jenga blocks. My son Sage and I were hanging out one afternoon when I noticed that spinning the cart's wheels made an interesting "vroom" sound...so I recorded it into this song. Also note that the marching infantry sound at the beginning was made by lifting a toolbox that I inherited from my dad and then smashing it on the concrete floor. The other instruments that I played were the more traditional Gibson Gold Top Les Paul guitar, a Jackson bass, a Roland VR-09 keyboard, a Yamaha DTXplorer electronic drum kit, and a CAD Equitek vocal microphone.

Everything was recorded and mixed in Logic X including the producer drum set Eastbay. This lyric video was all shot on my iPhone and edited using Premier Pro.

John laid lots of women 'cause all the women found him hot
Penny tried to reign him in, she gave him all she's got
Willing thighs and smokey eyes, they hooked him for a time
Then a newer model came to town and John turned on a dime

She couldn't change his ways, love didn't stand a chance
The player always plays leaving victims of romance
She gave all the love he could stand, but love...
Love didn't change the man

Steve shot lots of whiskey 'cause it made him Superman
Stacey loved to dance for him, soon wore his wedding band
Drunken nights and brutal fights beyond the bedroom door
The sun would rise, he'd apologize, but she'd be back for more

She couldn't change his ways, love didn't stand a chance
She tried to mold him like clay, thought he'd fall for her romance
She gave all the love he could stand, but love...
Love didn't change the man
