Best Friend

(1/2) > >>

Andreas:
Finally got some me-time to do some recording again, and ended up with an all acoustic song, with a little soul/jazz/indie inspiration. A little away from what I usually go for when playing.

Just in a few weeks I have been writing more songs than I usually do in a whole year, cause I write directly from my feelings and from my heart, and I have finally found my inspiration and my muse, so decided i'd write her a song. A song about love, and loving the person who's also your best friend :)

(CH)
I’m in love with my best friend
I’m gonna love you till the world ends
I never thought I could fall so deep
But now I know I’m sinking deeper than I ever believed
(V1)
My heart is open wide
Forever I’ll be by your side
Be my girl and I’ll be your man
I’ll treat you the best I can
(CH)
I’m in love with my best friend
I’m gonna love you till the world ends
I never thought I could fall so deep
But now I know I’m sinking deeper than I ever believed
I’m in love, I’m in love, yes, I am ( )
I’m in love, I’m in love with my best friend (x2)
(V2)
I’ll never hurt you, I swear it’s true
There’s no one else for me but you, uooh
I’m so glad you’re always here for me
Together we fit perfectly

Want to send a big thank you to @CaliaMoko for her feedback on the lyrics for Best Friend. Helped me a lot on the way, and made the song more complete (I think) and easier to sing, so thank you :)

Heya Mate,

Good to see you jumping into the community, making the most of what's to offer and being inspired by members here! It's truly a wonderful place and I look forward to hearing/seeing you about.

Just a friendly FYI, there are a few courtesies for posting in 'Finished Songs' to help things run smoothly as this is the most active area. Mostly 1 song at a time (2 week cool-off) and adding a bit about the lyrics/what sort of feedback you're looking for. Just helps to add clarity and ensure you get the most valuable feedback from peers

See here http://www.songwriterforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=2564.0

All the best,
Scott.

Andreas:
@ScottLevi Damn, then I will change it up a little! Thanks for the heads-up :)

pompeyjazz:
Hi YH. There are a lot of things to like about this number. You have got a good voice and sing with a lot of emotion and feel. The structure is pretty good although maybe there is a bit too much repetition. How are you recording your songs ? It seems like it's pretty lo fi. Have you looked at using a DAW to record. Anyway, I enjoyed the listen and hope you get involved in the forum. You will find it an amazingly helpful and creative place  :)

Andreas:
Thanks a lot for the feedback @pompeyjazz ! Right now I am using only a Samsun mic, with no possibility of recording two tracks at the same time, therefore it gets a little messy sometimes since I nearly need my guitar at the same time. I am planning to invest in some better equipment when I can afford to, so hopefully that will lighten things up :)
