PVD, Lyrics
gbm, music, midi instruments, vocals
Finished, pending a better singer :)
The time for us has been suspended
All our norms have been upended
Everything is moving much too slow
Things have become touch and go
Words are mixed and blended
With meanings not intended
It is nothing like it was before
Loving for us has become a chore
I don’t know if I love you or not
The reasons I did seems I forgot
Loving you I just don’t know
Why it’s always touch and go
I touch you and you go … away
Something has gone very wrong
What we’re hearing is a sad song
One that makes me cry
One that sounds like good-bye
I’d say let’s keep in touch
But that might be asking too much
Maybe we should just let go
I don’t know if I love you or not
The reasons I did seems I forgot
Loving you I just don’t know
Why it’s always touch and go
I touch you and you go … away

Gary:
Thanks for giving this one a go, your efforts are respectable, maybe another singer will give it a chance some day.

gbm - I'll take a look at this over the next few days - the best thing is I have a few vacation days coming up! :)
-
thanks Reba!
-
thanks Reba!
gbm - How hard is it to change the key on this song? Its too low if I sing it in your range, and it might not sound good if I sing it the octave higher.
Thoughts?
-
I believe this was in "C" I can change it to any key, what key would you like?
-
how about E or F?
-
Thanks - I'll give it a listen tonight!

Reba
Here's a vocal-less in key of "E"
I changed the last section from the chorus to a verse.
By any chance do you happen to have a vocal lead sheet for the melody you were looking for on this? I can't always quite pick out exactly what you are looking for. Could be my headset, but the lead sheet would really help. I do read music.
-
I'll write up a lead sheet

this just a rough guide change it as you wish, could use harmonies too
-
ok - I have had some time to spend with this song. Happy to hear you can send it it any key - LOL I might have you try many ;D ;D ;D ;D
Can you send it to me in A?
-
OK let me transpose it and I'll post

A is the key!!!!!!!
Did you want me to work off the midi you sent in google docs or did you want to resend the bedtrack in A?
-
I'll post a bed in key of A
:)
-
A sounds like a good key!
;D

here's an acoustic version
-
I actually didn't pay attention that this was in the finished works section - Hahahahahahaha!!
Well definitely not finished - uncertain if you want to move it Gary.
Attached is my vocal sep. I have really fallen in love with this tune and I think this is the perfect key for it!
I'll work on some harmony
-
Reba nice! I'll post this in studio
Yeah "A" is a great key for lots of harmonies
;D
