Hi all! Prepare thyself for howling cuz I'm a singin in this tune... (run for cover now!) But if you do listen, thanks so much for that!
I picked a key and song pace I simply couldn't sing... well actually there probably isn't a key and pace I CAN sing... (hum... well crap)...
I'm simply not a vocalist... I have no range, no interesting tonal qualities to my voice whatsoever... But hey... I couldn't really ask anyone else to sing this.
This is long and kind of repetitive. For me it was venture into many strange keys and changes. I like the general sound but I think it gets boring after a while. I'll apologize up front for that.
The guitar parts were difficult for me due to the strange key. None of the patterns I knew worked so I had to keep trying until I found something I liked. The guitar is fed through my micro-vox amp on heavy crunch, then into LE8 amp processing.
About the song:
My wife and my son are my life these days. They are the people that seem to be there when I need them and there isn't a thing I would not do for them.
A number of years ago my wife and I found out we could not have a child of our own due to a genetic problem with yours truly here.
I've felt guilty over the years that I was unable to give her the one gift many women treasure and that is a child of our own flesh and blood.
We did the only thing we could. We adopted a son from Romania. He has more than filled our childless void. He may not be of our flesh and blood but in many ways he's much more.
It was the only gift I could give my wife. She does deserve so very much more. Her favorite flower is the yellow rose. This is for you Susie!

Dedication - MRH 2008
I dedicate this to my wife
my mate, my friend, my guiding light.
Your love has kept me strong and true
and for this I owe my life to you.
I know I've missed so very much
done so much so very wrong.
I honestly have tried my best
sometimes I just miss the mark.
I'm giving all I have to give
What's mine will always be yours.
I only hope its half enough
you know you deserve so much more.
I wished with you to create a life
Something small that you could hold
I wish it deep inside of us
Composed from our soul.
That would have been my greatest gift
a chance for us to carry on.
But for us there was a chosen path
Inspired by your endless love
We gave ourselves into a task
our lives cast quickly away
a small soul in need of care
our new found purpose for each day
It was the only gift I could give
to the ones that mean the very most
it is the dedication of my life
My body, my heart and my soul.
I give it freely to you my wife
my love, my heart and my life
I dedicate my soul to both
my cherished son and my wife.
I dedicate this to my wife
my mate, my friend, my guiding light.
Your love has kept me strong and true
and for this I owe my life to you.
I know I've missed so very much
done so much so very wrong.
I honestly have tried my best
sometimes I just miss the mark.
I'm giving all I have to give
What's mine will always be yours.
I only hope its half enough
you know you deserve so much more.
I wished with you to create a life
Something small that you could hold
I wish it deep inside of us
Composed from our soul.
That would have been my greatest gift
a chance for us to carry on.
But for us there was a chosen path
Inspired by your endless love
We gave ourselves into a task
our lives cast quickly away
a small soul in need of care
our new found purpose for each day
It was the only gift I could give
to the ones that mean the very most
it is the dedication of my life
My body, my heart and my soul.
I give it freely to you my wife
my love, my heart and my life
I dedicate my soul to both
my cherished son and my wife.

What a lovely love song Mark! I'll bet this means a lot to your wife - such wonderful sentiment. As to the vocals, I think you pulled them off splendidly! A lot of people who think they can't sing really can - I'd put you in that camp. Also, great instrumentation - congratulations!
