Description:
Started to work on this New Years Eve 3 years ago when my wife and a daughter were away. Gather together with my friends and JD. After a couple bottles emptied, this was born. By the way my friends took a part of this song as listener as well as critics. Still working on it with my band.

Lyrics:
I'd been traveling for a long time

Under dark and mournful skies

Then I found you in my life

And my heart began to shine

I had journeyed far and wide

Almost lost my faith in love

didnt know it at the time

All those roads led me to you



And the road could be

Very tough indeed
But stick with me

I promise you one thing

Therell be an open field

Kissed by a summer breeze

Sweeter than youve ever dreamed



Darling come with me

We gotta take a chance

To find out way to love

And once were there, one road we'll share

And our hearts will become one

Theres a long road up ahead

Could be a hard long road indeed

I dont care how long it takes

Coz I've got you here with me

is a bit different from your other song you have up. I like them both but, I think this is my favorite. There are some neat moments in this song musically and lyrically. This one also showcases her voice much better....I just love her vibrato...I hope it's real and not some fx. Her pitch also seems to be very good. Nice mix and playing overall.

very well done

I think JD works that way. :) Yes, I agree this kind of music suite her better. No no no FX. Just a little echo and reverb. Thank you.

This is the first time &mdash 01/29/08 - 05:44:33 AM
I've heard a song on Macjams that reminds me of Abba. I mean that in every positive way possible. :)

Sweet vocal, harmony and lyrics. Guitars sounded very good and overall the song has an easy vibe.

I thought the lick used to start the song was cool (and how you used a similar bit at the end of the song) but to me it did sound very thin. Have you considered mic-ing the acoustic for a slightly warmer sound?

Really good song and much enjoyed!

Need some mid-low tone, maybe &mdash 01/29/08 - 09:22:08 PM
I agree the intro and outro guitar sounds bit thin. I will work on that. Than you.

wow &mdash 01/29/08 - 05:20:06 PM
a sweet female singer here at MJ.

This has a sweet nostalgic way back when soft rock singing.

But wow, I am so impressed by this singing and the music backs up nicely. But again wow, what sweet singing! Your so intune with the instruments and sound so pro ! Which isn't always easy to do, but you make it sounds easy. Terrific backup singing.

To me your lead singing is stellar! Not sure who the lead singer is but wow. Impressed!
