Keith Wilby Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Bit of a faltering guide vocal on this one. Written in 1995, this is genuinely how I felt after a failed and short-lived affair, when I completely lost myself in alcohol for many months ("pissed" in the UK sense meaning "drunk"). Too self-indulgent? As always, created using CbB.

Hidden Symmetry Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Enjoyed it Keith. Songs written from personal experiences are usually our better ones. They usually relate easily to others which is what a good tune IS. I hear the honesty in your track, didn't think of it as faltering. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noynekker Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Keith . . . liked listening to this one a lot, a great piano sound carries it through, and the string instruments you added really top it off. Took a while for the vocals to come in (long intro), and I think you've delivered some great vocals and honest lyrics. So, you've pulled this from your 1995 song vault ? . . . glad you did ! What else have you got in there ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wookiee Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Life experiences often lead to the most meaningful and sometime beautiful music. Heartfelt performance which I did enjoy, thanks for sharing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark skinner Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Keith , Wonderfully haunting. You did a fantastic job on the piano and vocals. The intro does feel Long. You did a great job of keeping it flowing with such a minimally tracked song. I Really liked it .. mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjornpdx Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 The sparseness of the song fits the lyrics perfectly. I expected the vocal to come in earlier so maybe the intro is too long. -Bjorn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Sprouse Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Such a bittersweet melody, it's perfect for the lyrics you chose. I didn't feel the intro was too long, it really sets a mood. Beautiful song, and I love your performance of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
