lovely Bjorn - a real treat for the ears

Hi folks Here's a new one that a woman called Patty Lakamp wrote the lyrics, I wrote and recorded the music for and the current Mrs Daryl1968 and I sang. nits and crits welcome Lyrics are below the link Online Lyrics by Patty Lakamp © Music written and performed by Staypress with Elizabeth Greenway V1 He: I go online to meet my Valentine and we hit it out of the park She: We feel the heat, so why don't we meet and see if there’s really a spark Prechorus Your simple text about what to do next Has my stomach tied up in knots I thought I was ready, but I feel unsteady and I’m having second thoughts Chorus: Online He: I’m a little bit taller Online She: My waist is smaller Online He: My abs are flatter Online She: My thighs don’t matter Online Both: You think I’m ideal But will you still love me when we meet for real? V2 He: If you want to try it, I’ll go on a diet so you won’t see me at my worst She: Can we postpone? I’ll apply for a loan so I can get a facelift first PrechorusChorus Bridge: He: I might have exaggerated minor details She: It’s possible I stretched the truth He: Perhaps I understated where I tip the scales She: I may have misstated my youth He: I’m sure you and I could be the perfect couple She: I bet we’d make a helluva team He: If we meet in real life it could burst our bubble Both: But online, we’re living the dream Chorus

very nice oh furry one. Love it when the drums come in - oooooh that arp....

Thanks FJ Cheers Tom - I know what you mean re the cotton candy - the lyrics seemed to drive the arrangement and chords. I had fun doing it. James did do a great job didn't he? The current Mrs Daryl1968 and I are nearly 25 years married so I think I also belong to the committed club Thanks so much Douglas - her lyrics are excellent. lol - absolutely Bjorn - thanks mate Cheers Paul - he got to level 42

Thanks so much Freddy my mate Thanks Tom - you are very kind I like monkeys! Thanks so much

Haha - thank Nigel - featuring the great Neil Innes of course....we are showing our age now!

Thanks so much Lasse. If you play that particular upbeat on the tambourine backwards and slow it down, there is a message

Lovely Tom. Really heartfelt. Love the piano sound

Lovely Freddy. Love the forever not long enough idea/lyric - very cool.

Thanks a lot Jerry

another very cool track sir - really enjoyed this

Mr Screed - I hope you are doing fabulously. I like the rhythm guitar groove on this one. Not sure why but it reminded me of something from the White Album

Hi Jerry - this is a very pretty tune. I like the unusual mix of sounds/genres.

wow, I really like this - it took and kept my interest right from the start. I agree with Grem - it's far from lo-fi

sounds like a good start to a song but needs some development. I like the guitar sounds you are using

cool FJ - everything is where it should be in the mix. I listened to The Beginning (original mix?) What are you using for the video?

lovely groove David and I like the subtle percussion. It would be nice to have full drums coming in later to take it to the next level

wowzer Gary - great atmospheric recording and fantastic use of panning setting up the sound stage. Very enjoyable listen

Andy - definitely something in the making here - carry on!

great stuff Tom - really enjoyed this. I'm a sucker for piano trills and harmonica

Hi Kevin - just piping up with the same comments really. Good song and performances just needs a bit of work on the mix. Enjoyed it
