Glenn Stanton Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 (edited) probably one of the first songs i wrote, erm, back in the early 1980's. storyline: some guy daydreaming about his girl as she's walking on her way home (in the city, so it's not too far) 🙂 comments welcome. while creating this version, the half-time just kind of jumped out as fun. BPM 120 Key A Drums, Bass, Acoustic Guitar, Piano, E Piano, B3 Organ, and Sax Solo Lead Vocal + two Backup Vocals ---------------------------------------- i can tell by the way she's walking she's thinking of me i can tell by the way she smiles just what she sees and what she sees in me remains a mystery i know, we might seem a lot of fun yeah i know, we must be on the run lord, i know, we're in love i can tell by the way she takes my hand and gives me her smile that when she tells me she wants to spend the night i know she means a little while yet what she sees in me remains a mystery i know, we might seem a lot of fun yeah i know, we must be on the run lord, i know, we're in love i can tell by the way she touches me everything is all right i can tell by the way she kisses me and holds me tight still what she sees in me remains a mystery i know, we might seem a lot of fun yeah i know, we must be on the run lord, i know, we're in love [solo] i can tell by the way she's walking she's thinking of me i can tell by the way she smiles just what she sees so what she sees in me remains a mystery i know, we might seem a lot of fun yeah i know, we must be on the run lord, i know, we're in love yeah, i can tell Edited January 11 by Glenn Stanton updated to add instruments 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSband Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Nice song. I like the rhythm change up in the chorus but I think it's too busy, it would sound better being a bit more simple. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Stanton Posted January 11 Author Share Posted January 11 thanks! agreed, originally i had it simple but it felt too simple... so, i'm thinking of ways to keep it moving without being busy... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bajan Blue Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Glenn This is a good song - I think a few of the fills sound a bit robotic But apart from that I like it Cool Nigel  1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Stanton Posted January 11 Author Share Posted January 11 47 minutes ago, jack c. said: at song start tighten up drums/bass.less rolls and busy bass.got some good sounds going.jack c yeah, it's one of those things where in the original recording i played the drums ('82?) and did a lot of rolling because i liked some of the 60's stuff where the drummer was going nuts behind it all... but i think as i'm listening back i'll simplify it.

Lynn Wilson Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 This is a very enjoyable song that has a lot going for it. You've received some good advice, and if you follow up on it, this will be a winner! Keep 'em coming! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
