Hello
Here is a 2 years old song.I´m vocal and acoustic guitar
https://soundcloud.com/a-fisch-1/please-do-not-cry
And here a version where a friend of mine helped me placing some other instruments.
https://soundcloud.com/a-fisch-1/please-do-not-cry-mit-max
Here the lyrics
1.)Please do not cry
I have to go my way and there
is nothing more to say
Please remember me
When you dream entirely
of love and of peace
2) I have had so many reasons
To fly with you another season
I will come back
The war I fought for
I haven´t thought about before
Forgive me once again
3) I did so many things
You wouldn´t be proud of most of them
But you never become aware
Now I do not know
Where I have to go
Please light up my way
4) I hope that once in a while
We found back our smile
However it takes a long time
When someday
I tell you what I have to say
You may should understand
Hope there will be a lot of feedback
Alexander

I really, really like it!

The song flows nicely and is somewhat catchy. And the lyrics are touching and well crafted. Keep it up bro!

Hi Alexander.

Nice work. The instrumentation goes well together - blends in a really subtle way. I found it very relaxing. The lead work was very nice. Thought the vocals were good as well - you sound like the guy from Kraftwerk. Production was nice and clear.

Good tune.

Nice sounding acou guit. Nice chord arrangements going on.

This would go great with a full band mix. I get an early seventies british folk rock feel here (Caravan maybe).

I think a click track would solidify the movement through the song a little.

Nice one Alexander.

Alan.

Nicely put together, It has the feel of a soundtrack to me and I particularly liked the lead acoustic guitar.

Super guitar play. I love the space you leave in when playing. Gives the music a real chance to breathe and just hang in the air. I do think the song is hanging out for a chorus or a bridge, probably just a bridge would suit this best.

The words are very well lcrafted and you vocal performance is easily believable, job well done!!

Allan.

@Neil C
Thanks for your words Neil. I do my best. :D
@seriousfun
Allan thanks for your soft words. I´m not sure because the chorus.I tried to play a short kind of instrumental bridge at 0.42, at 1.24 and at 2.09 and at 2.50. You mean only to do them longer or put  a complete new bridge into the song?
Thanks again Alexander

Hi Alexander,

I like this a lot - its got a simple beauty charm in the arrangement

The main guitar sounds out of tune to me and I think I noticed this on another song of yours - very minute detail but I always tune after every take - just to be certain  ;)

But I really like this song - its one of those that could be sung in a foreign language and you would pick up the sadness & remorse - thats a very special talent indeed

well done ;D

Hi Alexander...what a lovely song...I'm on my 3rd listen...it has such a relaxing feel to it...it has a lot of space and flows along so gently...I like your vocals and the way you sing it...the guitar work is very nice...panning the 2nd guitar to the left is cool 8)...is that a violin in the intro?...very clear production...awesome all round...I have no suggestions...it's perfect as it is...thanks for this share :)

Hello
@Kafla
Thank you for your friendly words. May the guitar was out of tune and you noticed this on another song too but I send you a PM about this.
@crystalsuzy
Thank you for listening my song 3 times but let me ask you: Why did you listen only 3 times?  ;D :P
Also thank you for your kind words. Intro are orchestra strings.
@all
I added the naked version with only guitar and my voice to hear the difference.
