[Wicked Deeds]

Quite unfashionably, I think I'll show my hand:

No time to die

The candle slowly burns in the darkness of the night
It flickers, often fades then it returns.
The wind blows through the doorway,
It devastates the hall,
tearing up the building 'til it falls.

It's no time to die,
no time to concede.
No time to open up the wounds
and watch them bleed.

The candle slowly burns to the rhythm of a life
It flickers through your sadness and your strife.
We briefly learn to live.
Oftentimes we cry,
subjected to a multitude lies.

It's no time to die,
no time to concede.
No time to open up the wounds
and watch them bleed.

It's no time to die,
no time to concede.
No time to open up the wounds
and watch them bleed.
It's no time to die.

It's only when you're gone I feel adrift at sea.
You must have been assigned to rescue me.
It's only when the chips are down that colours show.
Before you go........

There's no time to die.
There's no time to concede.
No time to open up the wounds
and watch them bleed.
There's no time to die
There's no time to die.
There's no time to die.

Beautiful stuff Paul!  Can't wait to hear it!

@Wicked Deeds - saw this posted on SC gave it a listen, great right hand skills, great production, everything very close and tight, i just thought there might have been one moment of clipping on the LVox? The only other thing was space dynamic, i just could imagine something to thin it out in places, the equivalent of a slow movement...

Super lyrics

Lovely stuff - chorus is really strong - I'll go listen!

@PaulyX   Thank you for your lovely comment.

I thought thatI had sneaked this one under the radar.  It's my pre production acoustic guitar sketch complete with clipping and a little sloppiness in places. The finished production will be quite different to this but the lyrics, harmony and vocal melody will remain the same.  This will receive a big production treatment, allowing for space, including a string section, perhaps horns and big guitars. Bond songs are in my opinion as much about the production as the writing. This isn't yet suitable as a theme tune in it's current mode of presentation. Watch this space for further developments. Thank you so much for listening and commenting.
