Just was amazed at the program and what you can do before I knew the format ..but I am checking my files .

drums and bass where biab ..!..https://soundcloud.com/user-colly/spent-my-life-loving-you...

Lyrics


SPENT MY LIFE LOVING YOU

HEY CANT YOU SEE WHAT YOU DONE TO ME,BIG BLACK CLOUDS ARE HANGING OVER

now i realize that your just setting me free.


Start again ill get over you, do all the things i always wanted too, get it all

gether by finding somebody new.

CHORUS

Spent my life loving you gave you all you wanted being true now im heading out get myself back on the scene.

Spent my life loving you little things you said little things you do now im heading out giving it all away.

Livimg my life wild and free taking all the chances that come to me,then ill realize for sure that im on my way,



And if you should find when im away, you begin to miss me well all i can say, honey if you call me then maybye

ill meet you some day.

VERSE


ive got to keep on going all of the time,keep your beating heart on the line,

even when your down and your troubles are on their way,

do what you do for a short time then youll know for sure that your gonna be fine


Keep it all together and the sun will always shine.

CHORUS


Spent my life loving you gave you all you wanted being true now im heading out get myself back on the scene.

Spent my life loving you little things you said little things you do now im heading out giving it all away.

Love it colly! Great rocking guitar opening.

The vocal doubling in the chorus really adds impact.

All the best,

Great fun rocker here!

Is the main guitar "live"? If so, excellent playing!

Great mix.

colly,

This is well done. The drums sound great. Nice punchy bass.
Nice guitars! Organ works well, too.

Good vocal. The doubling is well done. They are mixed well, too - just where they need to be for a rocking number..

Good mix throughout.

Great rocker. Janice said it has a "happy sound" like some of CCR's material.

The production sounds great on the monitors.

The work paid off!!
