This is also a repost. I made a lot of changes to the song, adding a break at the end, adding some fiddle, redoing the vocals to bring them more out front, saving at a higher bitrate.....

Hi Eddie

Really nice melody on this baby, and a dynamite hookline. Since my hearing is not good even with aids, I sometimes hesitate to comment on EQ. But I couldn't make out all of the words and I'd really like to know what they are - how do you feel about posting them. I also had the sense of a very heavy bottom end intruding over the mid-range. Did you mix/EQ with headphones?

You put a lot of work into editing your tracks (I remember your posting/birthing angst )
I think it might benefit from some clarity or some lower reduction (150 and down in the mid-range instruments, including your voice.)

Anyway - just a couple thoughts - It is a good song.

Cheers - Ian

Sure Ian.

The One That Got Away ©2011


In a different time and place
I met you long ago
You in your world, me in mine
And how was I to know
That our lives would cross one day
And I’d fall so hard for you
That you see you turn your back on me
Would cut me through and through

And I simply need to tell you
As you send me on my way
That I’ll think about you every night and day

You’re the one that I’ve been waiting for forever
I’ll do anything I can to make you stay
After all we’ve said and done
I just can’t let you become
Let you become the one that got away

I called out with my heart
Hoping yours would hear my plea
I tried to make it clear to you
Just what you mean to me
But you didn’t hear a thing
Not a single word I said
And this heart in me that needs you so
Now might as well be dead

And I simply need to tell you
That I hold you oh so dear
And it will hurt me so if you just disappear

You’re the one that I’ve been waiting for forever
I’ll do anything I can to make you stay
After all we’ve said and done
I just can’t let you become
Let you become the one that got away

SOLO

And the love for you inside me
Is like none I’ve ever known
And I don’t know how I’ll make it on my own

You’re the one that I’ve been waiting for forever
I’ll do anything I can to make you stay
After all we’ve said and done
I just can’t let you become
Let you become the one that got away

As I dream about the life we’d have together
And the happiness that we’d share every day
Girl you mean so much to me
It would hurt me so to see
To see you be the one that got away
If you become the one that got away
Oh please don’t be the one that got away

Never did say "thanks", Eddie. Thanks

Lyrics make a world of difference to listening.

Everyone should post them as a matter of course, or on their link page.

Noticed a picture of your workspace - do you really have RealBand over two screens?

Cheers - Ian

No. One side is Sonar when I have anything up on that screen. Usually it's Sound Cloud, which is likely what you saw.

Yeah, my one that got away....
