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!

Description : "Tears of the Moon" is just a melody practice of mine, so that's why it sounds a little sloppy, as always Don't forget to share your thoughts and ideas with me. They help me a lot with improving myself. Special thanks for KayOs2.

Description : Shorten My Days is a deeply personal prayer about examining the true intentions behind our relationship with God. It wrestles with the uncomfortable question of whether we seek Him because we genuinely love Him, or because of what we want from Him and the world around us. It is a plea for God to strip away selfish motives, sustain us through life's battles, and teach us to live in a way that brings glory to His name.
Guitar: Nameless.

Description : 'Main Barbaad Ho Gaya' means 'I got destroyed in loving you'. I had created this track last year. The vocals are AI. However the music and the tune is mine. Hope you enjoy this tragic love track. I was inspired by the Bollywood movie 'Saiyaara' when creating this track.

This started as a bandlab beat called Gridlock. Just mentioning in case someone wants to go get a clean version of the main backing track.
