Our second post of 2018 is:

It's getting away from you

I created the music about a year ago. It took me quite a while to come up with a vocal and lyric for this.
Check out Anne-Marie's voice oohs coming in at 1.35 and the Zane Carney realtrack coming in at 1.50!

Lyrics:

It's a strange and sweet delight
I saw you craving for that fame
It's the loneliness that drives you
It's the hurt from deep within
But you burning all your bridges on your way

Oh you lied to me
Just when you ran to me
You thought I was a breeze just given me that look
As of now you're just one step from your goal

You'd call my name
You'd wonder where you'll be, you said
If it weren't for you, I won't get very far
But just be careful now, it's getting away from you

Never in it for the love
Never in it for how hard I fell for you
It was no more than one step on your way

Dear you lied to me
And why'd I let that be
You thought I was a breeze just given me that look
Yes you must have been one step from your goal

You'd call my name
You'd wonder where you'll be, you said
If it weren't for you, I won't get very far
And let me tell you now, it's getting away from you

You will call my name you will wonder where I'll be
You said, if it weren't for you I won't get very far
But let me tell you now, it's getting away from you

When you falter and when you finally fall
Just look up and see I won't be very far
Just remember well
I moving away from you

Rob

Impeccable production,your usual superb vocals and arrangement and some very nice guitar playing.

Peter

Very nice peacefully flowing tune, some 80's soft rock vibes, I like the passage just before the chorus. Good arrangement and mix, and vocals are great as always.

Janne

Great intro! Love your vocals, such great tone, and nice to hear you play some guitar too!

Totally pro job on the mix. Really good, Rob, enjoyed the listen!

Classic RnAM. This is so good on every level. The BGV's and guitar are awesome and your vocals are spot on. Great mix and arrangement. Enjoyed this one a lot.

Rob, That lead guitar you played was a great addition to this well put together song. You should do that more often. Great vocals and a spot on mix. Super hook line. The rhythm of the words flows so well. Enjoyed it a lot, Tom

Rob & Anne-Marie,
There`s always a professional shine to your music and this is another fine production (cool to hear you play lead guitar!).
For me its your emotive vocal that`s takes this above the crowd - very well done.

Robert

Rob and Anne-Marie,

You always deliver quality material.

This is no exception. First class, all the way.

This song feels so melancholic. This was a really lovely piece. This song has such a professional quality to it. I could definitely imagine it playing on the radio in the late 80s or the 90s. Really fantastic job here.

Hi RnAM

Outstanding, your voice sounds like "Rocky" Eye of the tiger. Well structured song... very professional. Well done!

Hi Ron & Anne-Marie,

Excellent! This has such a professional sound. the mix is wonderful and your vocal shines. Anne-Marie's harmony is a perfect blend with your lead vocal. o nice to hear you on guitar - sounded great!

Super song and listen. Great!

Alan

Rob & Anne-Marie,

Cool opening. Nice guitar work!

Enjoyed.

enjoyed the song excellent lyrics, vocal and production!!

Wow - what a tune! Your vocal performance here is truly outstanding. I can't get over how professionally done this sounds. I wouldn't bat an eyelash hearing this on the radio, not one bit.

You did a truly great job here - thanks so much for sharing

Hi guys. Your tracks always have such a professional polish and character.
Good story line. I really enjoyed the bridge. Thanks for listing.
Rob

Just loved your vocal Rob and excellent harmonies. Very cool lyric and back track. Well done

This sounds really great! Wonderful arrangement and sound. Excellent mix and vocals.

Beautiful instrumentation. Great job y'all.

The write and vocals/guitar performances are outstanding.

The soundstage is amazing on our monitors.

Everything has it's little niche but nothing sounds isolated either. The sweet spot.

This is a classy production from a class act. You two have a level of consistency that very few can claim.

Enjoyed it!!!

J&B

Thanks Peter, appreciated. Yes I tried my best on the solo ;-)\

Rob

Hello, Rob & Anne-Marie

Very nice intro.!
This tune has the perfume of 80's European Rock.
As Rob4580 said, your tracks always have such a professional polish and character.
Great vocals as always.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Shigeki Adachi

Wonderful sounding production!

Rob & Anne-Marie,

Another outstanding production! Great work on this - the vocals are really superb.

Bob

Echo all the above. So well engineered, everything in perfect balance, very professional. Kudos!!

As others have said, an amazing production, impeccable mix, great solo and compelling vocal. From the start, I had a vision of someone dropping the needle on a new record they had found, saying Check out what I just found! as 80's goodness pumped through the speakers.

And d*** it - no one can come close to emoting a lyric like you.

Thank you Janne, Dave, Charlie, Tommy, Robert, Trevor, Ember, LPman, Al, Floyd, Clifton, Deryk, Rob, Scott, David, J & B, Shigeki, Josie, Bob, Kybordr, and David C !
