Hi there all. Below is something I am hoping someone may wish to just some music too :)

Thanks

Matt

We never had a chance to say goodbye

You’re not here anymore
But still a memory, etched in my brain
I still remember your smile
That masked the years of pain
I never saw you cry
You stood like a mountain you didn’t move
Carried the weight of the world
But now the angels have you

(Chorus)

But we never had a chance to say goodbye
Taken to a place where the living don’t survive
What would I give to tell you, everything’s alright
But I know you’re up there somewhere
So near but out of sight

Silence is now my friend
It’s funny how you learn to live alone
Move the pictures I once cherished
I just thought they’d bring you home
Life’s not a dry run
Not a rehearsal you can play again and again
You proved it every second
Left a presence that will always remain

(Chorus)

Years now have passed
From that moment, so long ago
When the curtains finally fell
On a heart that lost its glow
Now we never cry
We laugh at all our memories
Of those times we spent together
A perfect family

(Chorus)

Hi,

   I still have the music I wrote for these words.

It is a song, a ballad, and I play it on my keyboard with a slow drumbeat, and with strings sound, piano, oboe, etc. which means there is a song which can be played and sung.

Best Wishes

Marrianna

Sorry I forgot to ask if you would like to hear it again with a piano sound. It wouldn't be a final arrangement but just to show how the tune would go with the words. :)

Hi Words 123,

    I am not too bad thanks. :)

I had a recording to upload on Soundcloud but it sounded so bad with crackling and sound cutting out, I had to delete.

Will keep trying.
 Hope you are well, too.

Hi Matt (Words 123),



I had trouble uploading on Soundcloud so a piano instrumental version of the music for your words
We Never Had The Chance To Say Goodbye is on the link above.
If you scroll down the page, you will see an audio recording in the Gallery of Photos. It is not finished yet.  Look for 00 New Composition. Next is to try a better recording of piano and vocals. I maybe will upload a very rough recording for you to hear how the music and words go together. Then you can let me know if you like it. :)

I have now added a version of the piano and vocals so the complete song can be heard now.
Probably better to listen on headphones and if so, apologies for recording hum at the beginning. (I am a dinosaur using traditional recording equipment).

Hi Words 123

Any news on whether you wanted to do any more with the song We Never Had The Chance To Say Goodbye?

I would be really pleased if you could tell me whether you had more thoughts on any changes of your words(?)

Christmas seems a long way in the past now and I am sorry not to have heard any more :'(

All Good Wishes
Marrianna

Hi Marianna

I hope all is well with you

Being completely honest, I haven't had any time nor a 'want' to do any writing till literally this week :)

Where are you up to with the music side of things?

Thanks
