Just looking to share this and get some criticisms. Thank you very much.

&feature=relmfu

And just one glance is all it took to lead me back to you; and I’m so glad that we held together through it all and handled it so well.

Cause’ you know I’m falling faster in love and I can’t be controlled, and I’ll never let go. Cause’ you are the reason I pray you won’t go, cause’ I have found amazing love.

And I know it’s been three years, but I know your heart and it’s beating stronger now.

My darling, you see how the years have been kind to you. (You’re so amazing, don’t ever change)

And you are making every word that I’ve learnt impossible to say without thinking of you. (You’re so amazing, don’t ever change)

And I loath, those days that we’d grown so far from the grace of our love.

I have nothing more to gain from this (You are my heart)

And I have nothing left to learn (You are my love)

So take me and help me up. Cause’ I’m falling and I need you to believe in me again.

I pray you won’t go, cause’ I have found amazing love.

And I know it’s been three long years, but I know your heart and it’s beating stronger now.

I really really nearly didn’t make it past the horrid little Casio thing at the beginning. But I am really glad I did. This is top notch - lots of lovely 'of the day' hooks in there - very strong production. Great voice - might be nice if it was mixed a little forward - but it is done finished - put a cover on it and sell it. Love it  good luck. BTB

PS dump the casio.
not really good at anything - but as long as I am breathing I will keep on trying

Hey Arthur,

A very well produced track. A like the intro a lot.

Not really my kind of music either but you convey the emotional content very well. I particularly like the harmonies and delayed filtered vocals.

Well done.

This is a very good slice of modern pop songwriting. The production, arrangement and singing are all right up there. Great vocals - very comitted and believable.

Hard not to like.

Big ass production 'ere!

Big guitars, big bass drum, big toms!

Big lyrics too. Anthemic isn't my thing as it never seems to connect on a persoanl level, but these suit the style perfectly.

Line like this are so overarching as to be interpreted in 1000 ways. Which I suppose is the point!

So take me and help me up. Cause’ I’m falling and I need you to believe in me again.


My cans are picking up a little more sibalance on the main vocal than I would personally like, but it's only a few degrees off.

Great pop-rock here which I hope finds a market, all the best with it :)
