kloon Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 (edited) 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 Edited February 11, 2019 by kloon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteenE Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 I really like the cool synth arrangement and the sound is great. I'll probably have to listen a bit more to get into the song itself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhonoBrainer Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 I can't remember but have I heard this before? Did you post this earlier in the other forum, or is it new-new? Synths and their treatment are top quality. Arrangement goes down easy. The vocals when harmonized are great, and well mixed! The solo lead vocal was the weakest link here, for me. It wasn't bad, but just not as smoooooth as the rest of the work. I dunno, he doesn't have a bad voice, it's not pitchy or anything weird - it's just for me his vocal timbre doesn't match the piece that well. But it's absolutely great when it's got the excellent background harmonies, and a little more reverb. Love those parts. I suppose everybody has an opinion! Your piece is extremely listenable and the mix / arrangement is way good. cheers, -Tom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kloon Posted February 16, 2019 Author Share Posted February 16, 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnbee58 Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjornpdx Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Kloon This sounds to me like a 60s song, esp the synths. I thought everything sounded very good, the vocals and instruments and the mix but there was something about the structure that didn't work for me. Like at 2:18 and 4:04 "I find it hard" seemed like a chorus starting up with a nice melodic element but then it didn't go there. A more distinctive chorus would give the song a better structure, but as always this is just one man's opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kloon Posted February 18, 2019 Author Share Posted February 18, 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Douglas Kirby Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Impressive lead vocal, and i enjoyed the lyrics to this. I agree with Johnbee about wanting to hear more bass in the mix. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
