Description:
This is one of the songs I'm most proud of: first time I wrote lyrics directly in English (not sure if I really have to be proud about lyrics, eheh) and so lucky to meet Amanda on my way, who kindly accepted to sing on it: what else can I pretend?

Lyrics:
Hoping for a new sweet season,
I still don’t believe your decision.
It’s just too late to find a reason.

I thought I was being cool,
But never really been such a fool.
I didn’t care about your mood.

You walked out of the door and said
“I don’t want to stay anymore!”
No chance to ask myself…
How can I live without your love?

I’m so sorry.
There were many times I think I should have been worried.
But I didn’t try at all.
I chose to stay on my own.
Waiting to fall from the wall.

Rambling in all directions.
Out of control, without solutions.
Finally arrived at my destination.

Nothing was like before.
And things were slowly getting better.
Sure, I can say it didn’t matter.
(but it did matter)

Sometimes I stop and stay
“I won’t think of it anymore”
No chance to trick myself
Hoping she’ll walk in through my door.

I’m so sorry.
There were many times I think I should have been worried.
But I didn’t try at all.
I chose to stay on my own.
Waiting to fall from the wall.

I’m so sorry.
Fall from the wall.
I’m so sorry
I’m so sorry.

Another..... &mdash 02/15/08 - 07:47:43 AM
....good one. I've heard Amanda before and she is a real top performer. This is great. There's a bit of Kate Bush in her voice and also in the arrangement I think? Sounds like something off the Kick Inside from about a million years ago (which is no bad thing) - especially the phrasing of the "I'm so sorry..." bits and the backing vocals.

This is one of the most interesting tracks I've heard on MJ's for a while - really great!

Well done,
Phil

fun tune with interesting chord twists here... and Amanda sings your lyrics very well, although it would help to have them listed here for me to read along, some parts were sung fast :-) Nice arrangement of music, instruments and mix sounded great.
ttfn,

Kate Bush at MJ? &mdash 02/15/08 - 11:11:29 AM
There's undoubtedly a resemblance to Kate's style here, as Dolby points out. And that's just fine, as she's my favorite female musician. Great song, great performance.

Yeah &mdash 02/15/08 - 11:25:01 AM
It's well good.

Whooo ... &mdash 02/15/08 - 01:46:44 PM
Amanda has such a lovely voice! It has a naturally lovely tone to it but she's also the mistress of her technique and really in control of things. A very nice song, lovely melody, well constructed, and performed with such passionate honesty and conviction. You're right to be proud of it!

Fine song well sung by Amanda, enjoyed Lup...

[ Reply to This ]
I flat out love this... &mdash 02/15/08 - 10:25:45 PM
Yes, I hear the Kate Bush reverberations, especially around 'I'm so sorry"...but there's just a lot to like all through this...

Amanda's voice is terrific, perfect for the song and the recording.

I really like the melody and the lyrics... If I heard this on the radio, I'd go hunt it down and buy it...

A great treat, I know i've said it before, but nice to hear female voices here at MJ. Not enough for sure. So great addition. Nice texture in your voice. LIke the high notes as well.
Like the harmonizations.

Thanks for sharing.
