Description:
This is a song originally created by thatcomposerguy. I found it on my random searching and finally felt like singing. I liked this song because it was simple and sweet. It was meaningful on it's own. I don't think it's best suited for my voice and of course I always wish i could sing it better... but I did enjoy the lyrics I wrote to it. It's very meaningful to me.
Here goes nothing! Hope you like it.
Lyrics:
It took a long time to get this far
On your way you lost your star
It's as if that cloud just stays on you
No one there to pull you thru
Close you eyes, head up high, they'll be no more tears tonight
Take my hand, understand-everything's alright
Cuz you'll never walk alone
Time just flashes right before your eyes
The days a gift you can't take back
This is all a blessing in disguise
As you travel along your path
But you'll never walk alone

Very well sung and great lyrics, and it was enjoyed very much. You have a lovely voice that goes well with the piano, which is well played. Very good post. [ Reply to This ]

Well thank you so much! My voice feels a lil naked and full of flaws. I'm so used to layering my voice! I appreciate your kind words and the listen. Thank you. [ Reply to This ]

This is just BEAUTIFUL! Your voice stands beautifully on its own, without layering or anything else. This has such such a precious feel to it - gorgeous lyrics and gorgeous presentation. (Can you tell I love it??) [ Reply to This ]
yay &mdash 04/05/08 - 06:33:33 PM
I am very happy you stopped by to listen. I ALWAYS layer so it's great to get positive feedback when my voice is flying solo [ Reply to This ]

i'm glad you enjoyed my performance. Stop by anytime. I'm full of emotion here haha [ Reply to This ]
Hey now &mdash 04/05/08 - 05:39:32 PM
Really nice vocal and piano piece.....but the real strength is in what you said with these few words. [ Reply to This ]
aw! &mdash 04/05/08 - 06:52:34 PM
I'm glad you like the lyrics. Those are the first lyrics i've written that i genuinely love. Most of my songs are moody and sad or angry. These are lyrics that are uplifting and sincere. Thank you!!!! [ Reply to This ]
Oh Linda! &mdash 04/05/08 - 05:57:01 PM
This is just magical and I think probably my favorite vocal of yours ever and that moment when you sing 'you'll never walk alone,' gave me goosebumps. You did such a wonderful job of tying the phrasing to the music. 10's, D/L everything. THANKS for allowing downloads. Beautiful music, too, how could you go wrong? ---ledebutant [ Reply to This ]
P.S. &mdash 04/05/08 - 05:59:52 PM
I saw what you said above about feeling naked. The naked is what makes this so special and pure. The emotion comes from how open and spare it is and layering it would just add layers of gloss and take all that away. It's a good lesson for me as a singer, so thank you. [ Reply to This ]
wow &mdash 04/05/08 - 06:38:40 PM
You know what? from singer to singer your comment means double. I don't know about you but I feel VERY nervous uploading a tune on here. Especially one that lacks gloss and such to hide vocal flaws. Maybe i'm learning that listeners appreciate the "flaws". I'm really happy you enjoyed my open and sincere vocal performance. It was a great track to add on to and the moment I heard it I knew it could be enhanced. Thank you my dear for your listen and kind words!!!! [ Reply to This ]
you &mdash 04/06/08 - 01:12:20 PM
should never be afraid to simply sing. one track, clean and bare. stripped of all the things that make a pop vocal. you have a voice built for broadway, or disney, and that is meant as a compliment. most people cannot sing with this much feeling or integrity. you pull this one off by simply singing it your best. no tricks, no layers, no stops and cuts. this is why your vocals sound as good as they do. wonderful song. thanks you for sharing it with all of us.

music flow ... very sweet vox as always .. lyrics are nice indeed ... yep is a gem [ Reply to This ]
Lovely yet simple... &mdash 04/05/08 - 07:02:34 PM
You have gentleness and subtlety in your voice... smooth and pro-level stylishness to it.
I wish it was longer. The simplified arrangement made your voice the centerpiece of the song, although at some point in the song, i was half-expecting a little more flair in the accompaniment. But that's just me. Overall, the simplicity does work to evoke a placid and tranquil emotion.
By the way, I totally loved you and I.Spike in "Icy Waters." [ Reply to This ]
thank you! &mdash 04/06/08 - 08:44:39 AM
Oh that's great you heard Icy Waters. That's a good tune. I. Spike is a genius. I'm happy you think my voice is stylish. I know everyone's voice is unique but when I hear my voice I think "eh..it's not that special" when i compare it to radio artists. But hey..maybe it's unique? Hmmm! [ Reply to This ]
Hello! &mdash 04/05/08 - 08:25:39 PM
I just came upon your song on the "Fave MJ Song of the Day" thread. Ledeb gave you kudos, and I respect her so much, I immediately clicked on over, and WOW! You are amazing! Instant download, and I can't wait to check and see if you have many more jewels for me to listen to.
Thanks so much for sharing this. You are an extreme talent.

Totally .... &mdash 04/05/08 - 09:52:23 PM
.. stripped down .... it gives your voice a chance to shine and be the focal point of the tune ... very nicely done. Your voice stands pretty strong on its own and doesn't need all that layering anyway .. (just adds weight) .... [ Reply to This ]
thank you! &mdash 04/06/08 - 08:51:09 AM
Yeeeah who needs layering!? WOOOOO haha. I feel safe with layering. In fact when I listen to my performance on here i go..."Ugh I'm pitchy here...and there..and here" and i just cringe. If you guys don't hear it that's good. But it drives me nuts. I'm glad you have embraced my true solo act. From singer to singer :-) [ Reply to This ]
Good gosh, Linda... &mdash 04/05/08 - 10:46:29 PM
This is stunning. Perfect in it's sparseness (or nakedness). You've created a gem by not overproducing... what you may hear as vocal flaws I hear as clear and simple beauty. And your lyrics... simple, powerful, poignant and true. [ Reply to This ]
thank you! &mdash 04/06/08 - 08:53:58 AM
aw your comment made me tear a lil. Thank you for listening and for making me realize my flaws aren't flaws. *HUG* [ Reply to This ]
So Beautiful :D &mdash 04/06/08 - 03:08:27 AM
Simply wonderful..... &mdash 04/06/08 - 04:17:58 AM
I love the song and your special way of presenting.
Excellent.
Take care.

Thank you Paul for the listen and kind words. Unique presentation is usually how I like to go about things..singing or not :-) [ Reply to This ]
very nice &mdash 04/06/08 - 08:52:38 AM
Sweet. Simple. Beautiful. Loved this. You did a great job performing and writing the lyrics. The simplicity of this song made it even better. Great job!! [ Reply to This ]
aw thanks! &mdash 04/06/08 - 09:06:19 AM
It's nice to keep it simple. Life is complicated enough right? hee hee. Thank you for listening to my lil tune. :-) [ Reply to This ]
You lost your star... &mdash 04/06/08 - 09:01:53 AM
... great line. Fab vocals as ever, and a beautiful arrangement... sweet and gentle. Great track Linda. [ Reply to This ]
Act-Ender &mdash 04/06/08 - 11:39:20 AM
This has the feel of a short scene, ending the Second Act of a play.
Pithy and poignant... or, short and sweet, as you say.
Nicely conceived and sung.
As far as your apprehension (*My voice feels a lil naked and full of flaws*), Emerson said it the best...
*When someone steps out upon a stage, it is not their performance upon which they are judged... but the spirit of their performance.*
The spirit shines through nicely here. ;)

yay &mdash 04/07/08 - 07:34:44 PM
I got spirit yes i do!!
haaha. One thing I'm good at is wearing my emotions on my sleeve. I'm glad it comes through my voice. I don't see why it wouldn't. :-) There are def. negative things about that..but here..i'll take it! [ Reply to This ]
Just wonderful &mdash 04/06/08 - 09:28:15 PM
Your voice is wonderful on this. I think it's the flaws that make it better, because the little cracks and pitch debatability (can't say really that it's dead-on, but it's not perfect, I guess, if you say so) make this all the more human and personable. There's character and truth to it, and all the gloss in the world would only make it trite and shallow and impersonal. This is obviously not shallow at all. I like this a lot! [ Reply to This ]
Glad I saw this &mdash 04/08/08 - 07:52:05 AM
Wonderful lyrics, phrasing, playing, singing. Just beautiful, Linda. :-) [ Reply to This ]
it's good! &mdash 04/08/08 - 08:50:55 AM
perfectly wonderful - wonderfully perfect!
sometimes a naked voice is truly called for.
beautifully done.

I've been gone from macjams for a very long time and this is what I find when I come back. Very beautiful! You've made my day with this. I feel if I say more I will be rambling. Just know that I feel very honored by this. Great job. [ Reply to This ]

So jealous... &mdash 04/17/08 - 05:09:48 PM
of those with "the voice". Yours is sweet, clear, and beautiful!
Alas... another stack of music to shift through! I promise I will listen to each!
Thanks! [ Reply to This ]
Great! &mdash 04/26/08 - 09:53:53 AM
Linda this is killer. Such a great vocal (as always) and the music background is truly superb. A true GEM is this!
Thanks a lot for sharing (I'm sorry for being late!)
