There Was A Time - DaveNahls

Description : Hello there :) I'm searching for someone to complete this song. It's been a couple of years since i wrote it and a good friend of mine sang the lyrics I wrote years ago. It was intended to have lyrics only during the verses, feel free to add what's missing or to rewrite everything (just, please, keep the "there was a time" topic).

Comments (6)

If you have time take a listen and give DaveNahls some feedback.

It is such a great effort, and I mean every part of it. An inspired idea, warm lyrics, a beautiful melody, excellent sound, and a perfectly arranged song with vocals that truly convey the emotions. I am sure there will be some kind of collaboration here on LM, and this song will fully achieve its purpose.
Best regards, Anthony

Hi.
I just answered your question about how I wrote the lyrics and vocals for "Breathing in the Light." But it says I can only write 300 characters, and I'm not sure if you'll receive the whole message. So I'm also answering here, which allows 3000 characters.

Since I don't speak English, I used Chat GPT to create English lyrics, changing the words from my original Spanish idea so that it would rhyme in English, but still retain the spirit of my Spanish song: feeling at peace and safe with another person, leaving behind fears and inner darkness, feeling like you're letting go of negativity, ultimately finding inner peace.
Then, using those lyrics in SUNO, I told them I wanted an a cappella female voice for a chill house track, the chord progression is B-Ebm-Db-G#m, tempo 120 BPM, each chord lasts 8 bars. A soft, ethereal, and sweet female voice, with a warm and emotive tone. The performance is intimate and expressive, with whispery textures and clear pronunciation.

Structure:

Intro (light vocal textures)
Verse (soft and melodic)
Pre-chorus (slightly rising energy)
Chorus (catchy, emotional, uplifting hook)
Outro (fading, atmospheric vocalizations)

Avoid heavy vibrato or aggressive delivery. Keep it smooth, calm, and hypnotic.

It didn't come out right the first time, but I finally got the result I was looking for.
Then it was a matter of adapting the musical base I already had and playing around with the sounds.

I hope this helps.

I think it's a good song. I hope someone can help you; I'd love to hear the result. I'm not adding anything because it would only make it worse, haha. Anyway, I've already downloaded it. Congratulations!

One acapella by Elven Voice, one loop by GenaMusic... So separate but something common...I decided to merge them and to leave them as clean as I could. Just added some synth pads and percussion.
