Hi Fabulous folk

Here's a new one that my lovely other half sang.

I put music to a friend's lyrics. Enjoy

My Icy Heart
Lyrics by Deborah Ellis/Music by Daryl Greenway
I’m lonely in my bed tonight
Wish you were here with me
I want to feel you by my side
Where I’m longing you to be

I miss the warmth of your body
The power of your touch
Knowing that from head to toe
I ache for you so much

The minute that I saw you
I knew you could take me there
Your fire melted my icy heart
That was in need of some repair!

Many times it has been broken
And you may break it too
I’ll dare myself to take that risk
To share the heat with you

I’ve always been an icy queen
That’s how I’ve always felt
Now I’ve met my man of fire
My icy heart will melt

I cannot wait to see you again
Can’t stand being on my own
I’d rather melt my icy heart
Than spend my nights alone.

I'm lonely i my bed tonight

Please tell the current Mrs Daryl1968 she did a great job.

Ewe ent no slouch either mate.

Beautiful work of art!  I like the sparseness of the arrangement which gives Elizabeth's voice to shine.  The melody is lovely and haunting.  Wow

Awww thanks Lynn  - hope you are doing well my mate

Very stripped back, which I like. Highest compliments on the vocals - as the singer is very exposed - there are absolutely no hiding places in that backing track.

Fortunately, the talented Mrs Daryl1968 didn't seem to need any. ?

Great stuff as always

I agree with Andy,  cool track & love the mix  on this; the exposed vocals & balance. - great job.

[Makke]

Well sung beautiful song. 
The pleasant mood with the nice arrangement and the  little orchestration. 
Sounds great.

Thanks so much Andy. You're very kind mate

Wow, what an excellent job by Mrs. Daryl on the vocals.  Excellent job mixing the vocals so that they don't overwhelm the vocals but actually fit the lyrics.  The instrumentation also was well done in complementing the vocals.

Sometimes less is more and the song certainly proves it.
Elizabeth has a beautiful voice. Really stands out in the song.
I recognized a couple of Daryl's trademark chord changes in there.
Well done!

This is excellent. Lordy this is well put together, from recording, to mixing and post-production.

Props!

[PhonoBrainer]

A quality voice and hand at work. I wish it were longer! Well done! I agree with Bjorn's comment about your chords having a recognizable signature of sorts. That was a pleasure.

cheers,

-Tom

[Wookiee]

Beautiful lyric, nicely sung, understated accompaniment.   

[Paul Bush]

Great suff , obviously avoiding overdubs very brave keeping the vocals naked and vunerable ..respect

cheers paul
