Hi Folks...

I've just thrown this, my currently little project over the Pond to my North American compadres to add there bits to...  (Bass, Lead etc.)

Recorded it 'Live' with a bit of Delay and Verb on the Mic...  Hope you like it...  But any feedback gratefully received...

I couldn't get the embed Soundcloud to work, so just a link, sorry...

Where Your Heart Lies (Original) - Fletch

When the heart tries, to keep you safe
Ignoring the moment, with uneasy grace
And the heart lies, in fear of mistakes
Losing that chance of a warm embrace
And the heart lies

And the heart cries, in a secret hush
Telling itself, it’s just a foolish crush
And the heart lies, to stay out of touch
Forsaking that love, it needs so much
And the heart lies

And the heart denies, with measured cold
Beating in silence, in fearful resolve
And the heart lies, to stay controlled
Losing your wish, and dream’s untold
And the heart lies

Your heart lies, when you need to know
Your heart lies, when you need to show
Your heart lies, though you should seek
Your heart lies, though you should speak

When your heart hides, all from view
The lover lost, that you dreamt you knew
When your heart quells, that burning flame
The passions lost, that you shouldn’t of tamed
When your heart lies
When your heart lies

And the heart dies, when it can’t be heard
Judging the rest, by who it deferred
And the heart lies, and frees your mind
Making your choices, emotionally blind
And the heart lies

Your heart lies, when you fear the advance
Your heart lies, when you fear the chance
Your heart lies, though you should concede
Your heart lies, though you should believe

When your heart hides, all from view
The lover lost, that you dreamt you knew
When your heart quells, that burning flame
The passions lost, that you shouldn’t of tamed
When your heart lies
When your heart lies
When your heart lies, in regret it roams
When your heart lies, where is… home

When your heart lies, in regret it roams
When your heart lies, where is… home

The link seems unusually long for SoundCloud, but the second one works.

You have a great voice, beautiful resonance. Your lyric catches and holds my interest. You do a nice job with the guitar finger-picking, too. Your melody is very repetitive, sort of reminiscent of such works as Leonard Cohen's "Suzanne" or Gordon Lightfoot's "Edmund Fitzgerald", with no real division into things like verses and choruses. Maybe just a series of verses?

It looks like you are quite new to the forum, so welcome! I see you've dived in and done some reviews right away. That should make you popular enough to get a nice assortment of reviews yourself.

I'm glad I stopped in and found your song. I used to spend a LOT of time in the forum, but I can't manage that these days, so I try to make sure to stop by occasionally and do at least one review now and then.

I hope to hear more from you! And I did listen to your other song. I would pretty much say all the same things for that one.

Hi Vicki..

Thank you for taking the time to listen and for your very kind words of encouragement...  Really appreciated... 

Your not the first to say I've got a Cohen vibe...  I really must listen to some of his stuff, I only know of a couple of his tracks... (To young  )

Thanx
Fletch
