@RainyDayMan Thanks RDM. You know, I did get a kind of 62-63 vibe from this, almost more like a song the Beatles would’ve covered on an early album, or even for a live at the BBC performance. I don’t know why, but it just gives me that vibe. Glad yo…

Thanks for stopping by, bhengen. I know it’s not gonna work for everyone, but I’m at peace with that, and I’m not really interested in writing current tbh. I respect those who find fulfillment in that style, but it’s not for me, so I leave the exper…

“and is that what I've been doing alone all these years, "squandering years". Dang. Never saw it quite that way. I'd better get a move on, hey?“
Nah, you’re good Renee :p. There’s a time for everyone, at least that’s what I’m hoping. Wit… -
It's a beautiful song, Toney, your love for her shines through so clearly in these lyrics, and while she may no longer be here, I know she would be so happy with this. I agree with RDM, the lyrics should be the star here, so I might lower the ver…

Oh nice, I remember hearing this elsewhere and 100% expecting it to be a drug dealer at the end haha, so you're not alone there in Got A Friend Comment by BeatlesFan64 June 6

I agree with bhengen, the vocals sound crystal clear, through my Mac speakers anyway. I love the lyrics, they are sweet, and your vocal delivery totally sells it. The one thing I might've liked to see was a rhythm change in the pre-chorus or chor…

Yep, at the end of the day we are all people and need to live and love together as human beings, regardless of our differences. I will say that in my opinion, one of the two sides embraces this much more than the other (I won't say which as I don…

It's one of those songs that really makes you think. Even though the message on the surface seems simple, the words really pique your interest and make me want to know more. I found myself wondering who "you" is in the story, what they are to the…

I don’t know if I’m just a language nerd, but I (as an American) had no issue picking up on the fact that daren’t is just a contraction of dare not. Or I don’t know, maybe I’m so used to British culture because of my Beatles fandom that I’ve subcons…

@sidshovel Hearing that means a lot, Sid, it really does. I've been holding on to this one for a few months because I was really worried that it might come off as silly or something. But I think I'm realizing now that I should just embrace the fact …

I'm not crying, you're crying.
Okay, maybe I teared up a little :) This is so sweet, Gavin. I can say that Niamh is very lucky to have you as a dad, and thank goodness you both have each other. Cherish that special connection throughout yo…

You guys are absolutely killing it with these lyrics. I constantly find myself feeling unworthy! This is one reason I'm glad for AI, as controversial as it is. It gives people the outlet they need to get their vision out there.
Anyway grea…

Once again, Sid, you tell a story like no one else on this site can. I don't know how you manage to capture all of these different perspectives, it's amazing to me. Well done is all I can say. I really felt like I got to know the characters a bit…

@RainyDayMan Thanks as always RDM. I agree with that, it feels a lot more like an album track, and I kind of like that about it, honestly. Speaking of albums, I’m currently in the process of one, and this one would fit right in the middle somewhere,…
-
Ah, so I was right to take it more or less at face value this time haha. For whatever reason, I always tend to feel like I’m missing something. That does explain the melancholy sort of tone, with what’s going on with TGI’s.
-
@TammyB Thanks so much! Nostalgia is the name of the game with me, so I’m always glad when I can evoke that feeling in people. Stay tuned for more 🙂
@sidshovel Aw man, this makes it feel like my style is changed forever haha. Rest assure… -
Wow, we posted at almost the same time!
Well. It’s another really nice lyric, Sid. I’m afraid to say I think there’s a deeper meaning that’s going completely over my head. The ending feels like it’s a big wham shot that the listener won… -
I think you and RDM both summed it up really well in unique ways. While RDM’s song was a bit more abstract and described the general malaise, to borrow Jimmy Carter’s term, this one just flat out lays out everything that’s going on and how messed up…
-
I don’t know about the mile / crocodile rhyme tbh. When I first read it, it felt like a filler rhyme, but at the same time, it’s creative. I think it just depends on the delivery. Mind you, this is coming from someone who rhymes “you” and “true”, so…
-
I like how the solo was sort of bluesy, I didn’t really expect that given that it was more of a straightforward ballad otherwise. That was a really neat contrast. I like the chorus a lot actually, it didn’t feel repetitive to me. The verses to me we…
-
Hey RDM. As an American, I felt this. Despite it clearly being from the perspective of people outside the country, many of us here are also seeing the train wreck unfold in real time, so it’s a message that I think you can relate to whether you’re s…
-
@sidshovel Thanks Sid, I really appreciate that. I put a lot of time into these harmonies haha. I like to think that it’s simple, but poetic, or at least that’s the balance I was going for. Thanks for listening!
@RainyDayMan Hey RDM, tha… -
Hey Kayla….yeah, at first I just figured it was about romantic love, but after reading the whole thing, I don’t know, there are a lot of lines that feel like it’s a worship song. If it is religious, it might be straying into “God is my boyfriend” t…

I really liked the personification of loneliness, and it’s interesting that it’s a she. It made me realize that whenever loneliness is personified, it’s almost always as “he”. So yeah, I was intrigued right away. I loved the imagery, it definitely …

I think this is the first time I’ve seen anything ever portrayed from the Mexican POV of the Alamo. And I’m a Texan so I’ve heard this story from “our” side a million times. To see it from the other side is so fascinating. Great idea, Sid!
-
@robwills trust me man, if it was the 60s right now, I’d do it, I’d go out and find my George Martin and pay whatever I needed to. I guess with this kind of retro music, you have to do it for fun cause it sure as heck won’t be for money or fame with…

I have updated this song, please use this link instead of the one in the description.

Thanks everyone for the comments!
@HummerWisdom Thanks for the kind words Renee, to hear that it evokes the dance floor magic…well that’s everything I could’ve asked for and more! And yeah, I wish I could say I wrote from experience, but… -
Nice one RDM. I really liked the melody here, there's some interesting chords thrown in, and it''s got a sort of nostalgic quality about it, which definitely fits the theme.. Also, I like it the way it is now as far as v2 and v3's positioning. Th…

That was a 1000 IQ moment for the guy to save her name as a contact, in case he forgot. Although it does kind of beg the question...why not just look in your contacts first and see if any of those names spark your memory? ;) Oh well, it had a hap…
Howdy, Stranger!
