Today marks the start of another 5 songs in 5 days songwriting challenge. I just finished mixing my first song of the week. The prompt was to choose at least 5 words from a list of 10 given and use them in a song. (I'll leave the list below) I chose moonlight, first, dance, sleeping and dreaming from the list and came up with this country tune.

I used the direct input option for bass and electric guitars. Once exported to Cubase I ran them through Amplitube using a clean tone so it wouldn't be as harsh as the original processing in BIAB. I also removed all the reverb from the tracks before exporting and used a new convolution reverb (QuantumVerb) with IR settings to give everything more realistic live sounding reverb. I used Izotope Neutron on all the instrumental tracks, Nectar on the vocal and Ozone on the Master.
Lyrics: Some things you never forget. Like your first dance Holding her hand Late night kisses in the moonlight Falling in love for the first time. Holding her tight while she’s sleeping And wondering what she’s dreaming Those thing I’ll never forget.
Some things you never forget Like your first kiss The feel of her lips Pressed against yours. And how it left you wanting some more. Sneaking out late just to see her And making up plans for the future Those things I’ll never forget Those things I’ll never forget.
But for the life of me I can’t remember What ever happened to our forever. The love that we had was so strong. Where did it all go wrong?
Some things you never forget Like her eyes The way that they shined Looking in mine in the moment Making the world go silent All of the good times we had together Believing our love would last forever Those things I’ll never forget
(spoken) It’s funny how the bad times all seem to slip away. But those good times… Those things I’ll never forget.

Interesting challenge from which you`ve made a solid song with a good chorus hook. Impressive sound on the production for the time constraints. I always like your vocals- clear and upfront.
