How Can Life Compare?


Get Flash to see this player.

Description
This is the first song I ever finished writing. I have a horrible tendency to start something, agonize over it and never say that its done.

I wrote it during the break-up with my ex-wife about 4 years ago. I played it live in different (easier) key. . .

Lyrics
Grey clouds that hold only
Flowers and broken glass
Behind a garden wall
We wait for souls to pass

Lurking in the shadows
Only lit by candlelight
We search by moonbeams
That pierce the broken night

How can life compare?
How can life compare?
To this dream - a lonely world

Dim lanterns in trees
Hang with moss and catch my eye
Ride on the carousel and watch
The falling sky . . . .

And now we wake but on the brink
of dreams the time before we think

How can life compare?

Good stuff
Good music, but the vocals are somewhat quiet in certain places. Good job though overall! :)

thanks!
I tend to mix the vocals pretty low, maybe I'll re-examine that. Thanks again for your comment. I'll put your music in my que to listen. . .

very nice
I really like your lyrics and appeciate your thought pattern of "a song is never finished".
Your voice is crisp and clear. I'm not saying this to be obnoxious, but some harmonies on this song might enhance it. Just a thought.

harmonies
are hard to come up with for large parts of this song as I made the chord progression stupidly complicated. . .but I'll check it out. Thanks!

My first listen...
...to you, Yuri. Definitely hear Elvis in this...the instrumentation pushes that influence even more. Definitely your own here, though.

Difficult times made softer through song...your lyrics say quite a bit...

Fine songwriting and performance. Really enjoyed(ing) it. (Listening again as I type).

See you later, Y...
