Description:
A song for all you "Lonely People" out there ... once again I find myself singing all over someone's elses original instrumental track ... in this case - Woodguy32's "Hearts Hurt ... Blue Surf" ... found here: http://www.macjams.com/song/14481

Lyrics:
Oh she thinks she’s gonna fall
Or she thinks that she is dead
From the screaming sound of silence
Droning in her head

Ooooh oooooh a little voice that tells her
Soft as a gentle moan
She doesn’t want to dress
And face this day alone

CHORUS
Ohhhh Passion is a word - That dies on her lips
As she swivels her hips
Dancing all alone - In her living room

She stares out her window
Not washing her hair
She dreams her sweet fantasies
That someone might dare - oooooh

To find her appealing
To wish that she was his
To pull her to his heart
Take away her fears
Ohhhhh - Wipe away her tears

CHORUS
Oh Passion is a word - That dies on her lips
As she swivels her hips
Dancing all alone - In her living room

Ohhh - People all around her
She doesn’t see them there
For no one really loves her
No one seems to care

A sea of grinning faces
all with painful pasts
but they just want one thing
the thing that never lasts

Oh Ooooh

She reaches for the bottle
She’ll drink it all away
The empty silence
That screams in her head all day

The mere fact that someone could say that something I did could change their mood for the better automatically changes my mood for the better .... thanks Skean !!!

great song great singing &mdash 04/01/06 - 06:31:22 PM
I like this music, and I like Alannah's singing... my nit pick on this is
that at the chorus, the vox and the lead guitar compete for pitch and
space in the center. I would move the lead guitar back a little and
maybe spread to the left/right so it doesn't interfere with the words.
Just the right touch of harmonies... although the "ahhhhHHHH" at the
very very end was really nice, and I almost wanted that in the middle of
the song too somewhere 'cause it sounded cool. Also it faded/
truncated too quickly at the end, needed to sort of stop and let the
echoes fade slowly, to illustrate the empty silence screaming in her
head. Like the lyrics... sigh, another wonderful Alannah torch song to
drink myself to sleep to, if I drank like that... great music and playing
there Woodie! Do I still have room in my Fave-bag? Yup! Faved!
ttfn,
Drakonis

Thanks for the comments and tips Drak .. had this been a true collab between me and Woodguy32 rather than my singing all over a piece of music that was already submitted ... we likely would have tweaked areas and worked out some of the little edges on the tune .... I have learned to tone down the reverb on my mixing end of things .. now what I need to learn is a little patience and be able to work with the person who created the music rather than just "do my thing" all over it ... thanks for the advice ...

Alannah, you just keep outdoing yourself. I thought Sweet Amber Liquid
would be the pinnacle of your singing, yet you scale one rung even higher
on this one. This music really brings out the best in you...first time to
hear you use more harmonies and they are quite effective!

Woodguy's music jut knocked me over... It is a pounding, pulsating
melodic rhythm with so much emotion in it, and Allanah's voice on top of
it is like icing on a very delicious cake.

I left a comment on Woodguy's original song page too.

Woods ... your Muzak is fabulous ... I would welcome a collab anytime ..... this song of yours was actually one of the first songs I ever downloaded off the internet after discovering (um er the competition site first actually) .... I was totally blown away by the fact that I had found talented musicians who were willing to allow me to sing all over their instrumentals ..... I thought I had hit the gold mine !!!!

ah ha! &mdash 09/20/06 - 09:50:07 PM
You're a natural singer! I find that you and I do have a lot in common. I
really did think I was the only singer that took other people's music and
gave it new life! It is hard and Alannah it was so refreshing for you to
relate with. Great job on this song. Look fwd. to hearing more.

Cool! &mdash 03/04/07 - 03:23:57 AM
I'm familiar with Woodguy's stuff but this is really a nice turn, with your vocals... this reminds me a bit of Antony and the Johnsons (that's a compliment coming from me).

A pleasure to listen to. :)
