Fooling Yourself (Written by Tommy Shaw of Styx) / Cover Song by Tim Chewning
A rock anthem for many of my generation. To me, it's about those" tough love" speeches we all got from our parents, or even a mentor outside the family when we veer off course in our thinking or actions.
I started recording this song just as the world was seeing the light at the end of the covid tunnel, then put it away for a time because I wanted violin/fiddle on it, just wanting to keep it organic in nature. I brought it back out to finish after deciding to play the fiddle parts myself with my the help of my new sound library.
I dedicate this sing to all those who've either experienced "tough love moments", or anyone who've been privileged enough to mentor others by sharing hard learned wisdom with those of the younger generation. We all know that most often, a dose of truth doesn’t taste good when we're on the receiving end, but we eventually come to realize (years later), we're thankful for it. My father taught me “Don't Be a Victim… Be Victorious”. For me, the moral of this song is simply that.
(Written by Tommy Shaw) ... paraphrased for emphasis...
"You've got it all in the palm of your hand…
…and You're fooling yourself if you don’t believe it"
“…Get up, get back on your feet
… let's see what you've got
Just take your best shot, and don't blow it”

Back On My Feet Again (REMIX Version) performed by Tim Chewning

NOTE: This Is a REMIXED version of my own recorded arrangement of the Babys 1979 hit song, Back On My Feet Again, which I originally posted on December 18th, 2021. Some audio issues were corrected and compression was added to even out the overall audio sound. I'm a big fan of the 70-80's rock band The Babys, and perhaps even more so, I love the smooth but rocking edge sound of John Waite's voic...
Wheels Turning (By Tim Chewning & Tim Prewitt - Copyright 2010)
Переглядів 4083 роки тому
Stepping off the once secure, yet beaten path, and forging a new direction. Written during an introspective period, when everything I thought I knew about myself and the life long path I had traveled was challenged. This song, Wheels Turning, is about that moment in time when you start to realize everything has changed and there's no going back. What we thought was solid earth beneath our feet ...

A tribute to those who grew up in the 1960's, 70's and 80's. When rock music captured the attention of youth and wouldn't let go. When I stop to think about the era I grew up in (the 60's & 70's...coming of age in the early 80's)...I realize that it only seems like time is going by...but in reality, it is time standing still...and we're actually sojourning through an existence of constance.

Great job Tim! Love it!!
Thank you, Patty!
FYI. Dennis DeYoung did not write this song. This was written and sang by one of the other singers, Tommy Shaw. In fact, he admitted that the song was actually about Dennis Deyoung and his observations of how Dennis was dealing with their newfound fame. Otherwise, that was a descent cover. I like how you made it your own instead of just trying to sound like the original.
Thanks for clearing that up Dan. I actually remember hearing that now, years ago and had forgotten it. Looked it up on Bing search and I was misinformed. I should have it all corrected now. Thanks much!
Yes...my Facebook post actually explains this issue. I actually made a mistake in the initial ad but corrected it. For some reason the correct version won't show when I post it on Facebook. So I just gave up. It's been weeks since the fix...still won't show the correct version. Go figure. Thx Patty.
She had no idea here what was about to happen with her career. 🚀
Nice work, TIm :)
Thanks much Jeff!
Great visuals, strong transitions and wonderful tones of color that are vibrant with connection to your music. Your voice spreads its wings and I can feel your love for the song. Well done well done.
Thank you!
Great to hear you Tim. You sound great! We should do a colab.
Thank you, Patty. Happy Birthday btw. Enjoy!
@@timchewning4760 awww thanks!

Superb work my gifted friend. Now you just need to convince Krauss to do a duet with you.
I wish, man! Nice thought though! :)
Solid work Tim! Wish I could sing like you do.
Well, thank you for that. Trust me when I say there are many singers that I wish I could sing like. The bottom line is, we just have to work with what we are given. So, I do the best I can with that. I have to work hard for getting what I can out of my voice. Thx again!
Mighty good
Thank you!
I like this cover better than the original!
Wow! Thanks for that, Kelly! It was fun recording it!
Great harmonies
Thanks, Brian!

God Bless you old friend! You, Vince, Brendan, Charles, were all more of a blessing than I ever could have realized at the time. Youth, is wasted on the young! So grateful for our paths interceding and for the friendships we kindred. God is good. I hope we will one day yet again make great and meaningful music together!
