Lyrics

A golden ponytail - Two bright eyes
Waiting to see - What life
will bring - What life will bring
To me

Ohhhhhhhhhhh
It has started soon
It has started to be
Less than a fairytale
Not what I’d hoped to see

Ooooooh how long … until I can be free
From this disappointment
The life that had come to be
Was not the promise made to me …..
Oooooooh
How I want to be
Set free from this
Less than a fantasy ……
The pain … the burdens …
The expectation …..
What I thought … hoped for ….
Didn’t come to be
Ooooooh …. Where is my ponytail
Soaring in the wind … waiting to …..Be let free ….
Ooooh … me and my ponytail
We can soar together
Through the skies … on a gentle breeze ..
Released …..

Amazing Voice
the vocals are incredible. fantastic singing. The music is ok, but i think it
coulda been changed more to fit the new vocals. the song sounds as tho
the music was written first, then vocals added later over the music so it
doesnt quite gel (similar to audioslaves first album, Cornell screaming
over rage riffs). Which i know is exactly how this song was created. You
need to try and make it sound its a complete entity, not just two parts
joined. if you get my meaning. Great potential tho, especially with those
amazing vocals.

Check out my latest song called Legend

	re: Amazing Voice You're right of course.. that's exactly how this one came about. The voice is excellent & I left the music intact as that was the inspiration for the vocal. But I totally get what you're saying & I appreciate the feedback. Thanks for listening! Check out my latest song called Pieces

	Great sound! I think the vocal melody could be developed a little more to make the song great and not just good! More of a hook would be an improvement! Vocals sound great and so does the backing instrumentation by Big Dog Stevec!

stevec	stevec said 1502 days ago (October 12th, 2005)
	re: Great sound! Thanks Biz, I appreciate the feedback. I agree totally, we'd like to add some more vocal textures, harmonies, etc.. but haven't come up with a keeper yet. Thanks for the listen! Check out my latest song called Pieces

	Wow Where did you find her? Alannah, you have an amazing voice... lots of soul. Steve- nice job here. Have you thought about reworking this based on some of the comments so far? Tons of potential here. Good guitar work and an excellent melody. Bass was okay ;) Check out my latest song called Ballad of The Little Tiki

stevec	stevec said 1501 days ago (October 12th, 2005)
	re: Wow Man.. that hurts.. ;) We are planning a v2.. cjhoose has offered to do some harmony/backup vocals & I'm going to rework the guitar so it doesn't sound so much like i plugged the vocals into an existing song. Getting lots of great feedback & I plan on incorporating it all. Thanks for giving it a listen! Check out my latest song called Pieces

nice stuff!
Well-mixed song (great balance on drums/guitar/bass), good guitar
playing, but I have to admit, Alannah's strong voice and poignant lyrics
really add a lot of punch to this. I like the imagery the lyrics evoke.
She has that unique warm raspy quality that is intriguing, and she
sounds like a great singer. Nice work you two!
ttfn,
Drakonis

Alannah
After chatting with you about vocals, I was very intrigued and really
wanted to hear this song. Holy cow, woman, you can really, really sing!
I absolutely love your vocals on this song. They're emotional and
soaring -- fantastic! You don't need any effects, because it would be a
shame to hide that light under a bushel. The lyrics are fittingly
poignant and a true testament to your sister. This is just wonderful.

Sorry for the late reply
I just noticed this today .... I actually wrote the lyrics for this song ... it is the first song that I did that was posted on MACJAMS ... it's the story of my sister's life .. she passed away last year from Cancer. This song I wrote ABOUT her ... and another song I wrote FOR HER ...thanks for the listen and comments. I think highly of your voice and a compliment from you is gold to me !
