Lyrics
You are passing by, and give no reply
You expect me to nod
It’s a warm July, you don’t say goodbye
And you try your best to run
It is time to say in the alleyway
That we need to break
And you know that, our life is flat
And you know its time

Were stuck in despair, Its so hard to bear
And you cannot defend it anymore
You need to show up, and not let it go
Before the sand leaves the funnel alone
You turned out the lights, the hate you incite
And it is the love you castaway
Its time to grow-up, and leave your own rut
And you will be free

It is time to come, and leave this slum
Before you walk away
And I’ll give it all, you might see me small
And it depends on myself
You try to be, the best you can be
And we might still be lost
It is on my ne rves, the time you deserve
And time starts to fall

Were stuck in despair, Its so hard to bear
And you cannot defend it anymore
You need to show up, and not let it go
Before the sand leaves the funnel alone
You turned out the lights, the hate you incite
And it is the love you castaway
Its time to grow-up, and leave your own rut
And you will be free

You begin to talk, and you reminisce
And you try your best to laugh
But you change the tone, over the phone
Because our time is failure

Were stuck in despair, Its so hard to bear
And you cannot defend it anymore
You need to show up, and not let it go
Before the sand leaves the funnel alone
You turned out the lights, the hate you incite
And it is the love you castaway
Its time to grow-up, and leave your own rut
And you will be free

YES!!!
This sounds GREAT!!! You took advice on vocal mixing. Very good. Always let the listener adjust the "treble" volume. This is great all around, Hat's off to you two!

very, very nice
Excellent vocals, great choice and mix of instruments.

I particularly like your short phrases with pauses, very catchy!

Nice treatment of piano.

Poetic lyrics.

Only one suggestion: The strings could use just a tad more reverb when they're by themselves, like at the beginning. The cut-offs sound a little chopped to my ears, anyway, but the strings sound fine when combined with everything else.

All in all, excellent song and I'm glad that you called attention to it in MJ chat.

Very cool
Dig the back up vocals on this.. Very clear recording the mix on this is out standing! Great lyrics. My only advice is to try not to force the vocals.. Try to deliver them like it is coming out for the first time. Only my opinion realy good song!

sweet
Hey, Great work. I especially like the chorus. Nice melody. Like the short bursts of lyrics, concise and tight. Agree about the reverb on the strings comment. Also like the vocal overbud-overlays towards the end. Beautiful tune.

Infectious ..
.. I concur .. the repeated piano riff and vocal melody
following really works very well .. those pauses ..
make it.

Good production values - vocal multi-tracking work is
particularily well done.

Best I've heard from you two. Keep it up. Kudos.

No despar here
this is a great poppy tune - the production is really crisp, great backing vocals and a fantastic main vox - the chorus is excellent.

Really nice track - excellent work ... the sound of summer is here ...
