Description : Lyric contribution for Gordw

See my reflection
in the bottle
change my ways
I'll start tomorrow
pay my bills on time
come home every night
spread more joy
than sorrow

(chorus)
always a boy
seldom a man
Not what I hoped
not what I planned
Just another day
full of mistakes
always a boy
seldom a man

Easter Sunday
cold outside
walls shrinking in
so much guilt inside
I try to pray
"God, show the way"
I need Thee every hour

Lay my girls
down to sleep
Made a promise
I did not keep
Lived for myself
put thier love on a shelf
now someone new
does what I should do

(repeat chours)

wow - just wow... so if this is true lyrically, it's excellent to express it, but it's also the singer singing to himself, hope he learns from whoever is really singing here.. and a great guide for others to avoid similar situations, if they so choose. great expression !

You wrote beautiful lyrics for this music. Theses are very sad lyrics that brought tears to my eyes. I now get your avitar. I find it also parallels my life in many ways. Very nice work with great lyrics. Thank you for this. Take Care My Friend.

Glad you liked it. Sometimes, it's hard to hear a new take on a song you had other lyrics for. I knew I was taking a big chance, but the music was perfect for the story.
Also, I may have a couple projects for this song to be a part of. Let's stay in touch and see how it grows on people.
Thanks again for your support and friendship.

P.S. I'm glad you picked up on the symbolism with my avitar. Not many people get it.

Description : Quick hiphop track made with Bass, Drums, Guitar, Keyboard, Percussion then MPD, 32 track Tascam and Cuebase.
Vocals from JakeBuzzard acapella "Virus".

Rough mix and needs re-working, putting into stereo and some work done on dynamics but interested in hearing anyone's genuine thoughts. Thanks as always, Ben.

Description : I improved the track that I uploaded yesterday. This is the new version. This is a tragic love song. Full Bollywood sad romance/heartbreak style. Titled 'Barbaad' , the track talks about how one can destroy oneself while being in love. Hope you enjoy my track!

Description : Peace
Peace is something I haven't felt in a while.
Im not talking about the small moments where you feel peaceful.

Im talking about being at Peace. The kind where you sit in the rain/snow, and just...lay there. In the moment where you accept yourself..
