After a few revisions, we arrived at the final version: https://archive.org/download/ia37_20231 ... ix2%29.mp3
It started out as a short guitar piece that I sent to redmaggot: https://archive.org/download/ia37_20231 ... mix%29.mp3
Redmaggot sent me some lyrics for the first vocal version: https://archive.org/download/ia37_20231 ... ix3%29.mp3
There were some awkard lines so redmaggot revised the lyrics and I revised the vocal melody, which resulted in the final version.
Here are the lyrics of the final version and the original vocal version:
Code: Select all
original lyrics:
Went Along for the ride
Yes I smiled and I lied
If I could I'd have cried
But there was nothing inside
With Having so little left
I thought the odds of success
Of getting out of this mess
Were very poor I confess
Chorus:
The power of having someone to confide in
Sometimes you just need a little reminding
After the storm and the thunder and lightning
The sky will be blue and the sun will be shining
I wasn't really prepared
Having finally aired
With somebody who cared
Cause a problem halved is a problem shared
There's nothing to fear
She said can I be clear
If you're in need of an ear
Please remember I'm here
Chorus
Sometimes you just need a little reminding that you're ok
final lyrics:
Along for the ride
All smiles and lies
Nobody cries
With nothing left inside
With so little left
The odds of success
Of escaping this mess
Were poor I confess
The power of trusting someone to confide in
Sometimes you just need a little reminding
After the storm and the thunder and lightning
blue skies return and the sun will be shining
Nervous and scared
Not quite prepared
Having finally shared
With somebody who cared
Nothing to fear
Just so we're clear
If you need an ear
Remember I'm here
The power of having someone to confide in
Sometimes you just need a little reminding
After the storm and the thunder and lightning
The sky will be blue and the sun will be shining
The power of having someone to confide in
Sometimes you just need a little reminding
you are not alone 
The mix is pretty rough but the song still shines through.
Bravo!
