Title: Love is a Curse
Post by: toadman on August 02, 2011, 06:15:07 AM

My first collab on MCS. Thanks for the support, gang. A special thanks to Tricia for writing the vocal melody.

LOVE IS A CURSE.  toadman (c) 2011
Tricia & Guitar George - vocals
Smurf - Drums
toadman - Guitars, bass, keys.

Verse 1;We shared a bed, kept two children fed
           And watched them grow
           We kept a light on through the night
           Hoped they'd never go
           Some days we eased their pain, bought them in from the rain
           We tried never to say no

Chorus; But time is a tide, a wave you ride
           Lookin' for a place to land
           And love's a curse, it just gets worse
           We shed our tears,faced our fears
           And watched those boys go

Verse 2;We kept their shoes and hidden from view
           Laughed at the words they'd say
           We kept a smile and all the while
           Waited for the coming day
           When they'd up and leave and we would grieve
           For the words we never got to say

Thanks, Tricia.
Being new around these parts, is this the time that I remove all my attached files? And ask others to remove theirs?

Yes, good idea. You can leave the rough idea mp3, but remove the large files. :)

Great first collab Toadman.   George & Tricia sound great together especially when they sing really tight to each other, and it's nicely mixed.

The intro went on twice as long as I wanted it to but once the vocals kicked in I really enjoyed the listen  ;D

I never downloaded the mix form this thread, please can you re-post.

You only need to clean up form the project thread in Studio A.

Good work gang.

The chiming guitars and the excellent duet evoke a relaxed trippy feeling. Nice singing GG, and it's good to hear Tricia after quite a while.

Thanks Andy,
I love the vox too and I haven't tripped in years. :)
I used monitors (not real good ones) for this remix.
Any critiques would be most welcome,
