A Tear Falls - Chesook, Appleluza & Cosmic Dolphin

[Errol]

I started this collab a few years back but have been offsite since (unfortunately). I re-sang this today and think I'll call this one done unless I can replace my Kermit the Frog vocals...    ...or if anyone wants to make any suggestions.

Appleluza did both the strumming and finger picking guitars. I wrote the words & music. Thanks for checking it out.
 

Staying in this lonely room
Listening to the wind and rain
I lie awake
With swirling thoughts I can't explain

All the words I never said
Knowing I can't put things right
So I contemplate
The golden strands of morning light

And a tear falls
Another tear falls
When the emptiness calls
A tear falls
Another tear falls
My tears fall
For you

At night I walk alone
And the feeling comes again
I then call your name
And search the truth from deep within

The mistakes I know I made
And the schemes I had to try
Are now put away
With all the hopes we kissed goodbye

Not hearing Kermit here!  Nice job guys! 

[Errol]

Thanks guys!

I never knew that Kermit can sing so pretty.

If you ever want to lend the frog to somebody, knock on my door! I can definitely use that voice!

Well done. Post more!

Regards,

[Errol]

Thanks Steffen. I guess most of us don't like the sound of their own voice. I'd be happy to try some vocals for somebody but I know I really do have a very limited range. I certainly will be posting more. I have a stack of unfinished or half written songs and I am always looking to try and help out wherever I can. Thanks for listening!

If Kermit sings like this, lemme be Kermit.
Beautifull song... Beautifull song... Beautifull song... Beautifull song... Beautifull song.

Gee whiz! Thank you so very much!!!  It feels really great to be back at this site and getting involved in music again. 

[Appleluza]

Nice job, Erol. Your vocal sounds good on this. I honestly don't remember doing the guitar part, but glad you could use it.

I'm going to take a page out of your book and try a more minimalist approach on a bunch of my songs - just my guitar, my voice and maybe one or two other little accent parts.  The spare arrangement is nice.

I agree with Rob on this one Errol. I like the simplicity of this, reminds me of sitting with friends and a coffee at one of the local "open Mic" nights.

Have you ever heard about Stephen Duffy???

He is one of the worlds greatest songwriter, he wrote hits for Robbie Wiliams and others and he has a lot of beautiful great songs.

Man, listen to your voice I could swear you ARE Stephen! How strange.
However, great song and performance you both.

[Errol]

Thanks guys! Really appreciate the comments.

I don't know Stephan Duffy but I will be sure to check him out.

It's great to be back at this site!!

As always, a very nice song.

Good job to you and Rob and good to have you both back!

Errol, this sounds great!

I agree with others about the minimalist approach...For this song...it's perfect...unless you happen to know a good violinist Cheers, Johnny

[Errol]

Thanks Johnny. Yes, a violin would be nice. The door will always be open to new versions.
