Just a love song

Lyrics:
I Thought it Was Indigestion
So I Took Some Medication
But the Pain Still Remained
I Had Just One Suggestion
And It Was All Explained
The Answer To The Question

I'm Falling, Crawling, Sprawling, In Love
I'm Crumbling, Fumbling, Stumbling, In Love
I'm Spilling, Chilling, Willing, In Love

How Could I Ever Doubt It
I Might As Well Just Submit
The Feeling Wasn't Illness
I Just Don't Have The Wit
Like a Home With No Address
A Blaze With Nothing Lit

I'm Falling, Crawling, Sprawling, In Love
I'm Crumbling, Fumbling, Stumbling, In Love
I'm Spilling, Chilling, Willing, In Love

privileged to be the first to comment on your song.You have such a unique style.Nobody on earth sounds like this.Maybe a little like Tom Waits but I'm telling you I like your stuff better.(And I'm a big Waits fan.)Those guitar breaks are great.

A Summersong in Midwinter...:) &mdash 12/13/07 - 06:49:33 PM
The beat is good the guitar superb the lyrics lovely the piano nicely guiding...your voice is cool and so is the effect on it although on some parts I think the voice could be a tad more upfront, imo.

A terrific tune that I enjoyed and definitely has a radio hit potential..if that ever is your intention. Thanks for sharing your talent.

Kind regards,

Summersong &mdash 12/14/07 - 05:39:19 AM
Didn't really think of summer or winter. Thanks very much Djev for your very encouraging comments. I struggled with the vocal volume one minute too loud/next too soft. Decided that less is more. Wouldn't it be fantastic to hear your song on the radio - always been a dream of mine, too late now though.
Thanks again for taking the time to listen and comment.
Appreciated.

A blaze wit nothin' lit ... well, that aint you Len, 'cause you always send out smoke and flame to warm us on these cold nights. Great track - you've got a unique sound, which is really difficult to do.

I think 'Love Songs' have been done to death, but this is a really fresh take on the theme - excellent guitar as well!

Funnily that line was originally 'Like a Pain in my Stomach Pit' but try as I might I just couldn't sing it.
Great to hear from you Steve - how is the wrist? I do hope it's getting better. Will be listening to yours' and Bob's after work.
Thanks again for your continued support and encouragement - greatly appreciated.
(Still listening to MIA - what a truly great song!)

Man Len, you're really developing as a singer and songwriter at an immeasurable rate. I'm so impressed.

This song is beautiful. Your voice and the piano are so right together. That guitar part shocked me. I was not expecting it at all. It felt like Brian May from Queen walked into your studio. Once before you played a guitar that reminded me of his rich sound. Boy, I hope I didn't reveal a secret you were trying to keep.

Man, you have got style to the max.

Thanks for the download!

i read it first, and your lyrics hooked me.
then the "serious mood" piano came in and i got the tone of it all, which made me smile. cool playing, and one of the most unique tunes i've heard. nice shiny gem of a song. enjoyed your creation, len!

Weird and wonderful .. &mdash 12/14/07 - 10:33:27 AM
.. in that quite distinctive Len style. Not much to add on the good points (although I like the almost stumbling drums, wether intentional or not .. they fit with the song idea very well). Vocals I would also like a bit more poppy reverbed and not so distant .. although the reverb used is perfect for the long drawn out 'in love' lines .. (like your falling down a canyon) - neat and clever idea, again in keeping with the song. Another gem Len.

[ Reply to This ]
Weird &mdash 12/14/07 - 12:18:57 PM
I really look forward to your comments Alan and am really pleased you like it.
I get the writing/music done for these really VERY quickly and then spend days on end trying to sing them. I am NEVER happy with the vocals, either my voice or the production. I think that this seems to be quite a common thing with people here and their voices.
Thanks again.
Cheers

A nice variety between the keyboard work and the vocals. has kinda tunnel effect, what did you use to do that?

Really enjoyed the guitar with the flange. really has a early Brian May take to it. nice!

[ Reply to This ]
Falling to pieces &mdash 12/15/07 - 06:04:30 AM
Thanks very much Vic for your continued support, happy to think you enjoyed it.
The vocal effect just sort of happened, I'd like to tell you that I spent lots of hours doing lots of clever things, but I just tweak echo and reverb a bit. I worry much more about being in tune than the sound.
Cheers
Len

I commend &mdash 12/15/07 - 07:34:48 AM
you for your astounding creativity. This song would have been unique with just the piano and your vocal but you had to go and take it to the next level! Very sweet guitar solo (did sound like Brian May) and I have to say, the build to the end was an excellent choice.

To be entirely candid, I wasn't sure about the song until the end- up until the guitar I was really wanting something more- of course, that's right about the time you delivered more than I expected! Very nice tune!!

The guitar bits certainly are the icing on the cake. They make your unique style even more distinctive and memorable.

It almost feels like a cliche to call your stuff unique, but that's definitely the right word.

Intense and takes me on that typical Lengold trip. Somewhere in a cosy bar with a misses and just enough whiskey down the hatch to let them worries go. The delivery fits, I even think that you don't need the drums. Sigh, a good nightcap.

This is a really good track &mdash 12/16/07 - 08:58:08 AM
and you can tell that as well by all the macjammers who have fav'd it. Really nice piano, and it keeps it bouncing along. The lyris are really cool, and as always put a smile on my face, which is always a good sign. The guitar break surprised me and that was really good, it broke up the tune well and nicely played as well. Well done Len, thoroughly enjoyed

I recognize that song art!!! &mdash 12/16/07 - 05:35:12 PM
(Myst/Riven...If you played the computer games, you've fallen into the fissure, yourself!)

Having said that, the song art illustrates nicely the song itself.

I like how you've used a 'distant' effect on your vox. Distant in sound and emotion. A perfect complement to the lyrics.

Over-thinking or underestimating?
It's gotta be love!

kudos :)

you can definitely rock. keep it up!

Cool instrumental arrangement and a very original style... loved the melody and the lyrics definitely flow to the confusion of love coming on.... You do have a good voice....it may be my setup, but I don't think it would hurt to have the vocal more upfront... there's a good vocal there nonetheless!!!! I like this song!!!!!!!
