Glenn Stanton Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 a modern blues number about the mystery of the break up and how our unbreakable pride can keeps things on a collision course for failure. ? BPM 86 Key C Meter 4/4 Lyrics -------------------------------------------------------------------- something silver, shiney, and caressed something close to her heart says i'm batting second best so how'd we end up in this big old mess? i wanna know she got her reasons and i got mine it's a sorryful thing to be hung by pride pride she won't break and i won't cry no, i won't cry i won't cry seven reasons then i wept to rest she's always right in the fight about second best so how'd we end up in this big old mess? i wanna know she got her reasons and i got mine it's a terrible thing to be hung by pride pride she won't break and i won't cry no, i won't cry i won't cry something here that we both can't stand drowning in wine didn't lend a hand we both agreed this ain't nowhere to be and now we're free free something silver, shiney, and caressed something close to her heart says i'm batting second best so how'd we end up in this big old mess? i wanna know she got her reasons and i got mine it's a pitiful thing to be hung by pride pride she won't break and i won't cry no, i won't cry i won't cry i won't cry i won't cry no 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Screed Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 Wow. that's really nice. Nice work on the harmonies. Very nice mix and arrangement. I have never heard modern blues, so this is what it sounds like. Very nice arrangement too, the comings and goings of the instruments. The vocals stand out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve@baselines.com Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 Nice song - good lyrics, great acoustic sound. one thing I hear that I would work on is the harmonies in the 'so how'd we end up...' I think they are just slightly off. It would really sound great if those were fine tuned. If you agree but don't want to spend a lot of time singing them out again I can help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynn Wilson Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 This is a damn good pop song that I'd listen to again and again. You have a good voice for this style, which I think is the star here. The mix is clear and balanced on my system. Take a bow! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Carroll Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 This would make a top FM play list in the late 70s. Sounds a little like "Death Cab For Cutie ", that's cool thing. I Like this 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
