Lyrics Written By Matthew Lawson
https://www.reverbnation.com/PatFeely/song/27062238-in-the-end
In The End
It started, something built from nothing
Hello and goodbye followed
A moment in the wind
Time, it passed without you seeing
Your paths crossed with a meaning
Love until the end
Chours
Feelings, they should tell a story
Bound in tears of glory
You both won in the end
Standing fighting fears forever
Build those memories together
Two pieces fit as one
This is the start it’s not the ending
Pick yourself off the ground
You’ll be fine in the end
Somethings are made to be broken
But trust me now
You will be fine in the end
Remember when you’re lying awake and feeling like its just one big mistake
Love that was built in your heart now feels like a lonely place
Sometimes, you fall so you can stand up
Head held high no make up
Open your eyes to see
New day, someone coming your way
No fairy tales take it slowly
Let those feelings come naturally
Chours
Feelings they should tell a story
Bound in tears of glory
You both won in the end
Standing fighting fears forever
Build those memories together
Two pieces fit as one
This is the start it’s not the ending
Pick yourself off the ground
You’ll be fine in the end
Some things are made to be broken
But trust me now
You will be fine in the end

Hi Matthew
I really like this song. Well developed. But there are bits I find a little confusing. It's probably me but I prefer simpler lyrics.
-
I think this is Terriffic. your voice is very sexy , husky - I think that it really tells the story well , you've got some great lines in this , I know nothing about music but I can imagine sitting around a camp fire at a folk festival listening to this , have you anymore stuff I'd love to listen to it .
I love your accent really adds to it - once again I love your words
Sometimes you fall so,you can stand up
Somethings are made to be broken
-
Lovely and poignant ... your voice carries it well.

Hi, your voice is so recognisable,it gives an authenticity to the song. like the guitar chords and tone, sounds great.
Nice one Pat!

Thanks One glad you like, i recorded this a few years back and if i remember rightly it was the melody flow that put Matthew lyrics the way they are.

Yo Pat.
Man you pushed the boat out with this one. In my time on the forum I think it's the first I've heard you sing rather than your usual narration style and I most definitely approve. You've hit on something quite special here. 8)
Evocative and emotive lyrics paint a picture of a rite of passage and survival despite the hard knocks.
Marvelous work sir. :)
-
Yeah another winner, with a fireside-at-dusk intimacy and a Johnny Cash dignity.
Makes you question why we need DAWs and special effects. Knockout in its simplicity.

This has got some elements I like
But on the whole the voice in particular doesn't work for me.
I don't want to have to listen that hard in order to understand the dialect,
or to weave my way through the heavy affectation in the voice.
I don't think it's worth it.
To each their own, and this isn't mine.
Nowt personal. :)
Nice lyrics though.

Hello mate,
Lovely lyrics,pretty melody and you play and sing nicely. I just felt some of the lines were a bit too busy in places, kinda crammed in to make it work. I would have edited the lyrics to make it flow a little better.
Still an enjoyable listen though mate ;D

Hybrid of Leonard Cohen and slower paced Johnny Cash for me - a grown up guy who's lived a bit with a melancholy voice to express it all. Nice 1+1 performance and decent lyrics help it flow.

Thanks Davy, Matthew lyrics says it all i just went with the flow mate, just like all of us we'll keep pushing that boat out a bit more 8)

Hey Pauly, one of the reasons why i like this forum is daws and special effects but also the simplicity of us all, thanks mate 8)

Thats okay Rightly, some like some don't, one of the enjoyment on working with other lyric writers is putting one own imagery of life into them, some like some don't, thanks for your thoughts on this mean a lot mate 8)

Hey Leo, to be honest the only problem i had with the guitar vocal flow was "Remember when you’re lying awake and feeling like its just one big mistake. Love that was built in your heart now feels like a lonely place"
Good to hear from you mate means a lot 8)

Hey Michael, there are many heroes in the lyric/songwritng world and those two are many influence, thank you mate 8)
