This is a song Dave and I have done behind the scenes. My wife has been battling depression for the past year and I thought I would try something to help her out. I told her to just write down a bunch of stuff, things she feels, things she has felt, how she feels now, etc. I then took her words and wrote this lyric. I asked Dave if he had any music laying around that would fit the mood, and here is what we came up with.....
Curtis
Make It All Go Away
Lyrics by Curtis Downey and Carrie Downey
Vocals by Curtis Downey
Mix and Master by Curtis Downey
All music, instruments and drum loops by Dave Patterson(Studioplayer)
Verse 1
As I sit here by myself inside my my room
I think about the things that I'm suppose to do
I wonder how it all began inside my head
There are times that I wished I was dead
Chorus
What made me ....
This crazy
Why does it have to be this way
If I could only have the time
to make it all go away
Verse 2
I used to be the one who lived for tomorrow
Now it seems I only hide within my sorrow
Whatever happened to the way I used to feel
When I was loved, I knew that it was real
Chorus
What made me ....
This crazy
Why does it have to be this way
If I could only have the time
to make it all go away
Bridge
Now it seems I try so hard
Whatever I do, I can't make it all go away
Chorus
What made me ....
This crazy
Why does it have to be this way
If I could only have the time
I'd make it all go away
Make it all go away(2x)

Yes, I think you caught the mood quite well gentlemen. Nice vocals Curtis.....it would have been easy to go over the top with the emotion but you gave a really polished performance here. Good music production Dave with the chorus especially nice! I enjoyed the listen. I hope your wife get's out of the down she's found.

Thanks for listening guys. :) Really nice Curtis. Good mix. Upon a few listens here at work I think I would have brought the bass up a db or so. It's a bit back there but not bad. This came out really well. I like that it's not too over the top. I'll mark this is one of my top songs though. :) It's always a blast seeing something come together from scratch. This one turned into a real jewel. I hope your wife likes it and gives her something to smile about. Anytime with you bro.

I don't really know, I haven't done much with things lately. I am in the process of building my new computer, and I am hoping it quits raining here so I can stop messing with all the flooding going on around these parts. I could put it on though, might be easier than trying to redo one of the others we were gonna do, I just haven't had the time to even look at those yet....
