Description:
A rock ballad in 6/8. Hope you enjoy.

Vocals-Skylar Grossman
Music and lyrics- Bijan Olia

Lyrics:
I try to be honest that our time is corrupt
And the highs and the lows now begin to disrupt
And I know that your trying your best not to say
That our times are shifting and moving away

Why did you leave me for someone you don’t trust
Even though I know that our times in the dust
You can take me, break me and run away from yourself
And its hard to say that your are one of a kind

You walk through the doors and begin to cry
And all I can do now is give a sigh
You want to make up for the wasted time
Even though you know that you committed a crime

Why did you leave me for someone you don’t trust
Even though I know that our times are in the dust
You can take me, break me and run away from yourself
And its hard to say that your are a one of a kind

It is hard on a cloudy day to brighten up my day
And I try to cope with a loss with obvious dismay

Why did you leave me for someone you don’t trust
Even though I know that our times in the dust
You can take me, break me and run away from yourself
And its hard to say that your are one of a kind

Why did you leave me for someone you don’t trust
Even though I know that our times in the dust
You can take me, break me and run away from yourself
And its hard to say that your are one of a kind

Nice one! &mdash 06/26/07 - 01:44:31 PM
I like your choice of instruments.I like the vox performance but I'd try pullin' some of the "mid" eq down on the lead vox to get rid of the "sharpness" and add a little delay for depth. Other than than my 2 cents, Very well put together. You play very well. Nice Job!

Good song .. &mdash 06/26/07 - 01:46:07 PM

really good singing/voice, good lyrics too .. nice structure .. particularily nice chorus.

What lets it down in my opinion is: firstly I'd lose
those drums .. I'd try using a double-bass sound for
the bass .. and ask for a real clarinet or sax player
to lend a hand. Do you use GB? (you don't say) ..
some AU Multiband Compression on the vocals or EQing
better might tweak them just a bit richer sounding ..

I also find you can do nice things to make the piano
richer with some duplicating and then adding some
filters to some of the duplicates.

Overall could be a kinda "Tindersticks" with higher
voice kinda tune.

Beautiful &mdash 06/26/07 - 01:49:02 PM
Beautiful song/lyrics/vocals - I especially like the harmonies. Vocal sound is a little bit 's'y, But I wouldn't know how to get rid of it. Excellent - thanks for sharing.
Cheers

smooth &mdash 06/26/07 - 09:01:18 PM
a nice neat production here.

i like the vocal harmonies.

i second pickquick - just a little bit of delay or room ambience would be nice.

thanks!

Very original:D) &mdash 06/26/07 - 10:20:00 PM
I love that instrument...(a brass?) anyway, it really adds with the piano and beat.....your cool song!

fab harmonies.... &mdash 06/27/07 - 08:46:18 AM
...on this song!

Nice...


Ditto to apb's comments, and I'd REALLY love to hear this with a real sax accompanying you. There are a few here who might collab :)

Looking forward to hearing more from you!

ok &mdash 06/27/07 - 08:55:10 AM
It's alright, not a fan of the midi though! The songs pretty good though a bit repetitive in the verse
Nice work but could be developed more

Mixed a little high &mdash 06/27/07 - 04:41:19 PM
Good song, but the mix needs a little work. Vocals are pretty up front :)

why &mdash 06/29/07 - 10:26:18 AM
does this remind me of that Dionne Warwick song "That's what friends are for"??....hmmmmmmm.....

nice &mdash 06/29/07 - 01:23:28 PM
oh i like the vocals. great song. i thought the mix was fine, but then i often listen past a mix for the core emotion of a song, which is what a song really is.

nice work &mdash 07/03/07 - 11:32:20 PM
The structure is great. Nice song. I agree that you might use a "de-esser" on the main vocal, way too much sibilance on the "s"-es. Otherwise very nice.
