MORE PEACE AND I LOVE YOU'S
WHEN WE WERE YOUNG
SAID WEVE NEVER GROW OLD
NOW YOU DONT LIKE THE COLD WIND
SO REMEMBER WHEN WE WERE YOUNG

DONT WANNA EVER HAVE TO SAY GOODBYE
TO THE ONE I LOVED ALL MY LIFE
WANNA WAIT FOR YOU AT THOSE GATES
WHEN MY TIME COMES

What a tender but sad song. I think you did a really great job on this one and I enjoyed your use of the RealTracks.

WOW This is one great song that most all of us old pharts can relate! I loved the lyrics and your vocals. Your backing tracks were spot on.

To nitpick I thought that you have too much echo on those harmonies and that made it hard to understand the words. I would cut way back on them but, as always, this is just my opinion and others may or may not agree.

Regardless this is an excellent song.


OK, a random thought;
Why does toilet paper need a commercial? Who's not buying it?

Agree with Mario on everything. Super song, great hook, great arrangement but the vocals may be a bit overproduced for the intimate style and lyric. Really, really nice job!! Take care. Greg

I had exactly the same thoughts as Mario. Great write, excellent singing, nice production. smile

But... the echo on the voice made a lot of the lyrics unintelligible, which is a shame because you've got some awesome lyrics there. cry

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Enjoyed this, so obviously sincerely heart-felt. Agree with the constructive comments above. I liked the more tender vocal style on the last verse. Excellent addition to the forum!

What a tune! Very sincere and heart felt, and I'm loving the old school country vibes here. Your vocal performance is top notch, and a wonderful throwback to the country music of the 70's. That aside, the subject matter is very relatable and your vocal delivery only lends merit to that.

Great work on this one, and thanks for sharing smile
