Thank you very much for listening SPAK. Appreciate your kind words and interesting feedback as always. ♥️

The song is meant as a universal "whatever you as a listener may feel is wrong with the world today". For me personally it's  political, media and social media related. But i prefer to very seldom say things outright in my songs.

More gritty than usual. Hope you like it.

I dont need anyone
I just need me
I never pray for a miracle
You are barking up the wrong tree
I dont need anyone
Just the air that i breath
I never pray for redemption
You are barking up the wrong tree

C'mon c'mon
This is your time to shine
This is your time to speak your mind
Dont let me down this time

Brothers and sisters
Dig deep into your hearts
Deep into your souls
For something more
Brothers and sisters
I still love you all
But you're stuck on repeat
Dancing to someone elses beat

Now I dont want to pick you up
Just to watch you fall
Im not gonna be here if you hit the ground
I wont stay that long
Now dont be afraid to make a change
And believe in yourself
I want you to know that you're strong
Much stronger than you think you are

So C'mon c'mon
This is your time to shine
This is your time to speak your mind
Dont let me down this time, down this time

Brothers and sisters
Dig deep into your hearts
Deep into your souls
for something more
Brothers and sisters
I still love you all
But you're stuck on repeat
Dancing to someone elses beat

Yes,  very nice. The vocals and guitar lies almost perfect in the mix. Maybe a tiny bit more reverb on the vocals, but other than that. Splendid!

Very nice and well made Byron!  The video goes really well with the music.

Nice one Paul! Enjoyed  reading the lyrics while listening.

Great job!

Thank you very much Paul for listening and your kind words!

Thanks for the input @kloon.  Much appreciated.  Interestingly, those high parts are not uncomfortable for me to sing and are probably one of the more powerful (=loud) parts of my voice, but I don't have a lot of Growl up there.  I wonder if that's what makes them sound weak to you.

Hard to explain, i think it's just that the voice only comes from your head in that part which makes it thinner and more monotone. So yeah, it could be a little growl from the chest i am missing.

But it is in no way bad, and remember this is just one persons opinion.

Great song, enjoyed it alot.

Impressive lead vocal, and i enjoyed the lyrics to this. I agree with Johnbee about wanting to hear more bass in the mix.

Thank you very much Douglas for your kind words and feedback!

Thanks Bjorn for your kind words and feedback. I guess i have a little bit of experimenting going on in the arrangement here.

Will go back to a more normal format in next song.

Great cover!  The "I'm home on my own, home all alone" parts feels a bit weak in the vocals other than that it's great.

Good job!

WOW, Beautiful song! ♥️

I find it more cinematic than relaxing, very nice.

Good job Starise!

Wow, i must tell you Tom. Without the video this song does very little to me. But with the video this is pretty amazing. It really catches my attention in a way i didnt even tought would be possible.

Very good work! Hats of from Kloon.

I like the song and all the performances and the arrangement.  My only nit is it's a bit too long.   The bridge is quite nice but IMHO it takes too long to get there.  Also, I found myself wanting to hear a bit more bass.

😀John B.

Thank you very much John for your kind words and feedback!

Thank you very much for your kind words and feedback Tom!

Never posted it before, but i had an early demo version of the song on my soundcloud with female vocals.

Thank you very much soundregion!

I would try to stack them for a fuller sound, and more reverb!

Nice one Gary!

New song, hope you like it.

Lyrics:

Quote

Sometimes, just sometimes
You need to swallow your pride
And cast your feelings aside
Sometimes, just sometimes
Prayers wont work on a broken mind
But sometimes, only sometimes
The road to salvation
Is to turn a blind eye

I find it hard to take control
I find it much easier just to let it slide
Atleast for a while
It keeps me awake at night
I find it hard to let you in
I find it even harder not to let it show
And so i lie
It keeps me awake at night
I find it hard to lay my heart
In the palm of your hand
I find it hard to ever trust you again
I hope you understand

But Sometimes, just sometimes
You need to swallow your pride
And cast your feelings aside
Sometimes, just sometimes
Prayers wont work on a broken mind
But sometimes, only sometimes
The road to salvation
Is to turn a blind eye

I find it hard to open up
I turn to ice, I run and hide
Another nervous smile
It keeps me awake at night
Oh why is it so hard to just be yourself
I always close my eyes and
Pretend that im someone else
It keeps me awake at night  
I find it hard to lay my heart
In the palm of your hand
I find it hard to ever trust you again
I hope you understand

But sometimes, just sometimes
You need to swallow your pride
And cast your feelings aside
Sometimes, just sometimes
Prayers wont work on a broken mind
But sometimes, only sometimes
The road to salvation
Is to turn a blind eye
It keeps me awake at night

Did i lose you right now
Did i lose you right now
Did i lose you right now
Did i lose you somehow

I tried my best to never look back
But every road leads to the past
Did i lose you right now
Did i lose you right now
Forever till the day i die
Forever you and i
Did i lose you right now
Did i lose you somehow

 

Hehe, love it! Nice arpeggio driven flow.

Very nice ambient cinematic piece!

The vocal parts work just fine but personally i would clean them a bit from mouth clicks.

Very nice! Love when the strings come in.

The guitar is panned slightly to the left, i found that a bit annoying.

It's a nice song Lee , dont give up!!!

Big improvement, good stuff!
