I'm re-posting my songs so I can update the links to my Soudcloud page... since all my songs have been deleted from the site I originally used. I will do this gradually so as not to overwhelm or be disrespectful of other posters. smile



The song was "inspired" by (if that's even the right word) the rhythm guitar lick I play at the beginning, I just couldn't stop messing around with that lick and eventually came up with a progression and then the lyrics.

It's kinda cool that I never really know what "method" I'm gonna end up using when I write a song these days.

Anyway It's all RT's except for my guitar parts, which are probably pretty obvious. I'm doing all the vocals as well.


All comment are welcome.

The Great Unknown

Some say life is always meant to change
Every day there’s something new
I say keep your eyes ahead don’t be afraid
There’s gonna be someone for you
We will struggle that’s just normal for us all
Sometimes we conquer and sometimes we fall

You can be a better man
Find someone to walk this life with hand in hand
Step by step you both will grow
Learning and changing sharing the great unknown

Some say for everyone there is a match
The one that’s meant for only you
I say they must be right it’s down to fate
Look in the eyes you’ll see it’s true
You may search for years and never find the one
But don’t give up until the race is run

(Chorus)

When you see the light make sure you run it’s way
Give up on love and there’s a price you’ll pay

(Chorus)

Greg,

I love this. It's such a strong write and you've polished it off with a gleaming arrangement, a stellar performance and a first class production. This has 'hit material' written all over it.

Congratulations on such an awesome creation.

Regards,
Noel
