daryl1968 Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookiee Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 You are just going to have readjust your overly perfect self @daryl1968. Cute, beautifully delivered vocal, (no sarcasm detected at all) production very cool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Sprouse Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhonoBrainer Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark skinner Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjornpdx Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Daryl Cool song. Really like the chord changes especially in the chorus. Reminds me of pop songs from the 60s 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
