Description : I put this together quickly - Ad-lib lyrics. A memory. 7 Years ago.

This is a first draft - will probably get back to it later and tweak. I would love to put some lush strings in here.

Hope you enjoy. Let me know your thoughts.

LYRICS:

i guess i could have been braver
and taken your hand
down to the bus stop
through the sand

in my shoe
(it was you)

looking back now
i see
but it's too late for me

i guess i could have been braver
i could have let go
the autumn and springtime
the sun and the snow

i'm waiting for you now
to come to a halt
feels like you've been running forever
and it feels like it's my fault

like i'm to blame
blame
carry the shame
alone

i guess i could have been braver
and kissed you on the mouth
i guess i could have been stronger
and let it out

i'm telling you now
i want you again
that summer or springtime
was...
but winter or autumn is
buried within

This sounds real, piano has very nice and chamber touch. Topic in the lyric is heavy but that makes it soulful. Voice has pleasant color, I see there are cool parts and some where it does not intones well or is overbalanced. Hihats are staccated after each other with no velocity manipulation, that is not easy listening for me, but maybe they should hihlight the heaviness of topic I do not know. Song structure is well done. I like it except those 2 things I mentioned.

hey there, had a listen to some of your tracks. you definately know what you're doing. myself on the other hand... I have no experience in sound engineering and stuff like that. So when you tell me the "Hihats are staccated"... I don't really know what you mean! :) hehehehe You must forgive me, I make music that sounds good to my ears, in the way I taught myself. Your comments and advice is always welcome though, so I will try and learn what you meant in your comment!

Thanks again for the listen and come back soon :)

Hi Minette,
What can I say?Another beautiful track from you which goes directly to my favs.Your voice is absolutely fantastic here and perfectly fits the melancholic and haunting feel to the song.I agree the strings would probably bring something to the track
Cheers

Good heavens, how have I not heard you on Looperman before?
A better question might be, why haven't I heard you on the radio and television before?

I am not flattering or exaggerating. Female vocals are my favorite instrument, and there are only a hand full of famous musicians that have the same mesmerizing effect on me as your voice does.

hello,
Good composition, but just a little thing. Sometime, your voice seems to fall down as if you can not maintain it at its note. It makes a special effect, but, I think that if you make longer expirations (like trainings), you could develope a real beautiful voice, but a voice with a strength, which can give a real presence to you music(s).
It's only my opinion, don(t worry, you have this possibility to better control your voice, so...DO IT !

i agree with you wholeheartedly - i am sure i could do loads more with my voice, just... finding the time. not to try and cover my tracks here... but i was sitting when i did the vocal on this (bad move) - and also, like i mentioned, it was all ad-lib (the lyrics) - so this is a one-take track (on the vocals)

but thanks for the advise. i hear what you're saying! thanks!

My mind wanders of to Tori Amos, then U2 and then back to you, and I realize that I really dig your voice and your amazing presence.
fav and dl.

p.s. I'd love to do a song with you. Let me know if you're interrested.

Description : hi guys, so the object here was to write an original Christmas track that has all the Christmas trimmings but also brings home a few stark reminders, things that you don't necessarily think about as you selfishly open your presents with your families, i would describe it as a modern day festive treat, it has nods to the old, and the true meaning of Christmas, this is so not what you'd expect from dime, lol, tbf Im gassed about it :)

Merry Christmas everybody, hope you enjoy

Description : Description : Ever heard an oompah song? No? Well, today's your lucky day! Kayos likes to keep things not typical :-)

After a few mellow and emotional tunes, we thought it was time for something to lift our mood - maybe even make you grin.

This one's for all the free spirits out there - the ones who don't quite fit into a normal office job and are sensitive to environments and energies. We all seek joy from freedom in creativity.

Description : Here is another house/pop track. This one was made for a collab with another artist but, decided to make a different beat, since this isn't quite what he wanted. If you would like to collab on this, leave a message below or send an email to magic41151@yahoo.com. Thanks for stopping by and take care!

Description : Please listen to the original version of Its Me by Speacarrier. She just picks up her ukulele and her beautiful voice sings the pain off her soul. After Rushes I couldn't resist putting her in a different musical bed again. I hope you like it.

A big Thanks to Juke 4060 and Takesbeat for your guitars.
