    I ran this one through my SoundForge 5.0 20-band e.q. and tweaked the bass a bit. My 1987 demo of this song won a certificate of acheivement award from the 1988 TDK/Billboard Songwriter's Contest. Here, I'm exploring my southern roots with some good ol' blues riffs & cool chops.
    CD: Ben Garen   Label: Future King Records
    Credits: Ben Garen: lead, rhythm guitars, vocals, drum and midi programming, synths.

    Story Behind the Song
    "Hot Touch" has a bit of a double (perhaps triple) meaning: It's about a woman who treats her man wrong, leaving him for another. She is, in effect, a "devil-woman," thus, she's got a "hot touch." The title also refers to the "hot" finger action in the guitar leads and reprises. (Of course it has a bit of a sexual connotation too...)

    Lyrics
    Hot Touch
    Lyrics by D. Ben Garen
    Copyright 1987

    Verse 1
    When I first saw you, babe, my heart stood still;
    Babe, I could hardly breath.
    You knocked me out with your southern charm,
    Babe, I could hardly believe...

    That Id be holding you, and Id be loving you,
    And that our love would grow.
    You had me head over heels, tossing and turning in love,
    But, how was I to know...

    Chorus:
    Youve got a Hot Touch,
    Youre one of a kind.
    Babe, youre too much,
    Im losing my mind.

    Verse 2
    Yeah, babe, I loved you; you know that its true.
    You had me living on clouds.
    We had a love that would never end,
    So, babe, for crying out loud!

    Why did you leave me; you sure deceived me.
    I thought we had it all.
    But, when you left me, I finally realized,
    It wasnt true love at all...

    Chorus:

    Guitar Solo

    Verse 3
    Well now youve found him, you gonna love him?
    You gonna give him it all?
    You gonna take him up to Heaven above,
    I just hope that he dont fall.

    How does she do ya? Does she give it to ya?
    Doe she give you it all?
    Youd better get it while you can cause for the week is through,
    She won't remember you at all.

    Chorus: (two times)
    Shes got a Hot Touch; shes one of a kind.
    Shes too much; hes losing his mind.

    Shes got a Hot Touch; shes one of a kind, yeah.
    Well, shes too much; shes losing her mind.

    Shes got a...Hot Touch...
    Shes...too much...
