this is an old song of mine
possibly my best
it was quite demanding to play all the way through. for this Demo-recording (done maybe 3 years ago)
I really exerted my weary self and failed, a little copy n' paste, then i shelved it.

maybe I should try to pick it up again, I'm so fond of it!

don't let them see you cry


If you feel the same I'll come around
To catch some tv or to paint the town
And in a while you will feel better
Some people don't watch what they say
N they make a list of all your mistakes
Like they're the only things that matter

Welcome to the world of modern thought
It's just as rounded as it is short
I pay top dollar just to hear you talk
Life is love and war, come and give it a try
There will be casualties on both sides
Don't ever let them see you cry

Don't ever let them see you cry

You know you're wanted you are the first
No less than the entire universe
There is no equal under heaven
So where's the harm if you're alright
And you still have some appetite
And for a smile you'll be forgiven, child

Hanging about like a chandelier
The light refracted in your crystal tears
I think I know what I like about you
If you need a hand I'll be glad to oblige
A stiff upper lip with a thorn in my side
As if I've never been refused, or denied

Never been refused, that's my line
This is no time to be blinded by grief

Welcome to the world of modern thought
So damn loud it won't be ignored
I'm writing checks that I can't afford
There's a dark cloud gathering over your sky
I've a roof on my house if you mean to stay dry
Don't ever let them see you cry

Oh no, don't ever let them see you cry
This is nothing to be wasting your time with

Hey Rightly,

this is an old song of mine
possibly my best

Think I mentioned when first joining that I was instantly a massive fan, and coming across this on your SoundCloud was definitely one of the reasons (great to see the lyrics now!).

Not sure where you're coming from in looking for advice, this song is a gem as it is; so would be more interested to hear your ideas for what you'd do if picking it back up again.

If it's just having another crack because you're 3 years the better than hell yeah, or are you pondering adding extra instruments / reworking somewhat?

Best Regards,
Scott.

Thanks for the kind comments Scott.
To be honest I don't always know if I can trust my own judgement. Often I'm sure of myself, sometimes i come crashing down.
I don't think I'll rework this one, i wouldn't be able to use this on stage, I think I I'll rather invest in songs I can use.
I'm not sure exactly what I'm looking for,but I'll not find it here.
