daryl1968 236 Posted Saturday at 11:58 AM Hi folks Here's a song that has been sitting dormant for some time and I recently 'finished' (are they ever?) Nits and crits welcome (lyrics below link). Overpromised Written and performed by Staypress V1 I didn't mean to disappoint you But it's not easy being perfect no, no It's hard to keep promises you didn't mean to make Guess my armour ain't shining no more Ch You said that this is my very last chance I am trying to be the king of romance You whispered those words in my ear and I shivered I over promised and under delivered V2 I didn't want to be your hero Didn't want that on my shoulders no, no It's hard to be faultless for you for heaven's sake Guess I'm not who you imagined me to be Ch Outro I didn't mean to disappoint you but it's not easy being perfect no, no 3 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

David Sprouse 253 Posted Saturday at 12:42 PM Daryl, I find it hard to believe your songs are from experience :D:D Do you and mrs. greenway really go through all this? another expertly crafted song. I esp like the minimal pop-synthy feel. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

emeraldsoul 799 Posted Saturday at 07:59 PM Love the vocal recording, so nice and up front, and the rest of the mix instruments are wonderfully crisp and clear. Just another great mix, promised and delivered! I appreciated the understated approach you brought to this, it works a treat. cheers, -Tom 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mark skinner 157 Posted Saturday at 10:27 PM Fantastic , I really liked the contrast between the lyrics and the satire(ish) way they were sung. Emeraldsoul expressed the exact same feeling I got from this. Top Notch .. mark 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
