Hi all. This is a typical early sixties tune with predictable and repetitive lyrics.
The only thing that doesn't fit the 60's genre is the guitar bridge.
Let me know what you think. All comments welcome. Rob

Dont say good bye


Stop please my love don't want you to go (don't want you to go)
Stop please my love I need you so (I'm needing you so)

Chorus

When the rain starts falling down and I see you cry.
I will help you all I can don't say good bye.

Bridge

Chorus
When the rain starts falling down and I see you cry.
I will help you all I can don't say good bye.

Verse

Vocals and keyboard strings myself

Great job on this, Rob.

Definitely sounds like an early 60's AM radio hit. I assume this will be available on 45's?

The heavy guitar solo is an interesting choice. Was sort of expecting a sax there...

Super vocal and backgrounds. Good mix.

Floyd's right about nailing it as a 60' AM radio song. The song could have been arranged to have a theme-ish stop.... a breathing moment for reflection, to give the song a moment of now-ness. Bridge was OK, it acted as temporary breathing zone. Vocals carried the song through though. A saving grace!

Robert,

I love the feel of this... Great mix and vocals. The guitar solo was also a nice surprise and fit well.

Excellent!

Bob

Love this Rob. Took me back to a different place and time. Super vocal and lyric. Guitar was excellent. Loved the reverb...

Rob,
you've really tamed the errant sounds quite a bit - essing is only apparent with the reverb now - your keyboard additions work a treat.
This is a very tidy, friendly, enjoyable package.
Great work.

I'm a 60's love the sounds and songs guy and you did a great job here. The vocals and overall vibe of the song puts this as a song Terry Stafford would have done. Enjoyed my listen.

I really enjoyed this Rob!

Whoa! This is awesome in my book. It's so authentic. I love that more than you can imagine. Man, everything was so well done. I will admit the guitar caught me a bit off guard at first. Then I settled into it and was fine.

I am such a sucker for background vocals and yours are top notch, right down to the little touches like the "la la la" at 1:19.

Truly pro reproduction of an era in my opinion. If you do 100 of these, I'll have 100 songs I love from you.

Thank you so much for making this!

Rob4580,

This sounds smack out of the late50’s, early 60’s. You’ve done a terrific job of recreating the sound while also making it fresh and new. Nice vocal as well, and a song that invites the listener to sing along. Killer stuff!

Humble regards,

Deej

Thank you Floyd. Not sure about the 45?

Hello, Rob.

Very nostalgic!
Everything makes me feel the rock of the 1960s.
Snare drum rhythm, back chorus, melody.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.
