Hi!
This is a song that I wrote about two years ago, but I haven't felt like starting recording it till now.
It's the eternal theme, but this song is mostly inspired by a person I met who was absolutely wonderful, but I just didn't fall in love. But the other 95% of the song is just a general mix of experiences.
Anyway. I'm thinking a Dylan ballad style of arrangement but I need help with drum arrangement. If I keep it really simple I can probably just sit with pads and midi for five hours but... What are your suggestions? Right now the tempo is 80-87 bpm but I'll settle on a fixed value.

From the other side of the room you were looking towards me
Making sure I still understood what's important 'round here
The beauty of how your body speaks
Is a language I've learned to read
Don't need it any brighter I can clearly see
But it would help if you stood a bit closer
And it feels like you've learned them just for me
Words to tell what you seek
I never needed anyone but now I need to heal
The stitches are torn the wound is open now, you made it real
Can't say I've learned so much I guess I didn't make the right mistakes
Just some finishing touches and then the masterpiece is made
You claimed me though there was no such a need
As far as I know I'm not going anywhere
You picked me up from where I was left to bleed
And turned my doubt into some sort of belief
No high or mighty was to come to your aid
You found yourself stuck with the mess that others made
ch.
Thanks,
Martin
