The vocals were a mess on this, I used my new Melodyne program to clean them up, also added a couple of overdubs.

Just Friends

You are charged with the kind of motivation
that always takes my breath away
The day we met I sent you running through my heart
Switching on the lights and turning darkness into day

Locked in breathless emotion
Swinging to the sound of your voice
So anxious to know and desperate to show
I'm not just one of the boys

But I know
as quickly as it begins
the risk is coming
it's hard to pretend
Keep it to yourself
Don't let on we're just friends
I was captured by the same anticipation
that always seems to follow you
Hanging on to every word that passed your lips
Enchanted by the style in every little thing you do

It's just an illusion
a dream that I made for you
I'll keep it inside, hang on to my pride
for dreams have a way of coming true

And I know
I can hear it coming
and once it's said
it's hard to pretend
I don't want to hear it
You don't have to share it
Keep it to yourself
Don't tell me we're just

Friends don't give up their secrets
Friends don't kiss in tha moonlight
Friends don't put their thoughts away
and hold onto each other in the middle of the night

I don't want to hear it, I don't want to know
Please don't say it, don't tell me we're just
I don't want to hear it , I don't want to know
Please don't say it, don't tell me we're just friends
not just friends
I don't want to be just friends
No, not just friends

Hi Will,

Nice song! Liked it a bunch.

This reminds me of late British Invasion music in the early and mid 1970s.Don't know how "messed up" the vocals were but they sound great now! Maybe I (Alan) should get one of those Melodynes! Cool song!

Thanks guys. My biggest influence after Young People's Concert was the British invasion, and I never did get enough of arpeggios or the Rickenbacker 12.
Melodyne is a lot of work, and the altered tracks are printed within the program, so it's harder to manipulate tracks once they are processed. That said, you can do amazing things with it and it's ideal for people like me who lack perfect pitch.
