Happy Saturday all,

Thank you very much for the comments on my last post!

I am still experimenting with GarageBand and wanted the post another song. This was something I wrote early in the morning while playing on a small Casio keyboard. Just singing to simple chords and thought the chorus was good if not original. The lyrics are unecessarily grim (not from the heart...) and need fixing. I know it’s cheesy but would welcome any comments on the arrangement and chorus. Does it need reworking to not be too by the numbers? Thank you!

Silence, darkness, broken eyes
The devil’s beach I lay my head
On the day I took my life
To see them all see me instead

But look at me now x 2
I am hundred thousand feet above you
Look at me now x 2
Now the world is going up in flames
And I don’t want to take the blame
Look at me now x 2

Decent mate, the Chorus especially the 'Look at me now' part is really catchy.

Hi Jimbob and welcome to the forum. Yep, Garageband is some awesome software. This is good considering how much time you devoted to it. You've got a good voice man. Sorry to be a monger of doom but you're only allowed to post one song in the Finished Songs section every two weeks.  I know that's a real pissed and I hate to be the bearer of bad news  :( Also you kinda need to give something back to the forum like reviewing some of the songs on here. I don't want to be Mr Badass as I appreciate your talent but that's how it works  :)

Cheers

Fair play, Pompey. Hadn’t seen the two week rule but makes sense. Consider me told!

And thanks for the nice comments on the song man. All good.
