Hi All...
A new one from myself and
@Jambrains... This one came together very quickly in our normal rollercoaster way 🙂... It leapfrogged over others the way that sometimes happens..
From a writing perspective, I actually started this one with a completely blank sheet - had one of those ‘I need to write a song’ itches even though I had promised myself I’d resurrect one of the many unfinished songs in my DAW! Sat down with my guitar and the verses came very quickly..... With this one it was all about the rhythm of the lines for me, the phrasing carrying over the lines in particular. I came to curse myself for that when it came to tracking the vox - a tad challenging!!! Then came the chorus and a few days later the m8... Threw down a very simple midi piano track and played around with a bit - speeding up/slowing down/key etc... fired it over to Sweden for an opinion ... and well.... he jumped on it immediately and I really loved how he interpreted it... and 2 weeks later, here we are. A bare vocal track winged its way to JB and after much exciting back and forth between us this rather fab track IMO is what came back for me to add vox to..
It’s high and wordy so it took me a couple evenings of singing it to get the phrasing ‘locked’ then tracked the 3rd and then 2 rounds of BVs.... structurally it’s more or less the same as the demo except an extra verse and those lovely guitar riff sections. But boy does it sound different
Oh and the solo is awesome - so fab to sing against this one!!!
@Jambrains - maybe you can fill in the playing & production info?
As always all critique welcome - anything that pokes your ears, comments, Suggs etc..
Try me, don’t assume that I will bite
You’ll find me less scary, more inviting
Than the picture that you’ve painted in your head
Let’s take the time to figure out if we’re a match instead
See me how I want to be seen
Release me from loving unrequitedly
I need to show that I’m not playing games
And even though I’m sure I won’t assume you feel the same
Put your arms around me, hold me close
You’ll see that we fit better than most
Was I made for you and you for me
I guess that time will let us see
Tell me, tell me what I need to hear
Please sell me the story that will seal the deal
To bring us right to where we need to be
The bells will ring announcing that we were meant to be
Put your arms around me, hold me close
You’ll see that we fit better than most
Was I made for you and you for me
I guess that time will let us see
My heart’s pounding now that I’ve found you
I hope that you will feel the same
With time I believe that you’ll find
Love worth the wait
Put your arms around me, hold me close
You’ll see that we fit better than most
Was I made for you and you for me
I guess that time will let us see
