Chris,
I'm hearing hints of the Beatles (don't remember the title). We have several excellent lyricists frequenting these forums. Maybe one of them will jump in and help you.
A question that they will have is; what genre are you shooting for? I hear potential in several genres. Pin that down first.
Our dear Joanne Wilson-Cooper is expert in Folk and Country genres; Floyd Jane is a very successful Nashville Country writer, David Snyder writes Country and Pop, Josie (aka Sundance) is a Country/Pop lyricist extraordinaire, etc. There are great writers aboard in every genre.
I happen to know that Joanne Cooper stays very busy with her music but she is kind and helpful to everyone. Let's hope that she or others will throw you a lifeline.
And welcome aboard!

Nice work, Christian. This tune flows tremendously well. I'm hoping someone can pair some vocals to this! The tune definitely inspired some melodies for me. I thought the mix job was top notch too - thanks for sharing 
Cheers,
Deryk

Hi all,
If someone wants to write lyrics for this song
Christian, I don't/can't sing but these lines popped into my head as I listened to the keyboard melody. Words, they’re just words But they show the workings of my mind Ghosts, they’re just ghosts They’re the only memories I can find Nothing else makes sense Just memories I can rewind Thoughts, they’re just thoughts But they make me feel I’m going blind Play, through the day To this repetition I’m resigned Nothing else makes sense The world inside is defined Words, not just words They describe the contents of my mind Ghosts, not just ghosts They’re the only loves that I could find Nothing else makes sense My ghosts keep all that we find
Cheers

Christian, nice tune. I like pop motif with harder instrumentals. Easy listen, yet rocky. Nicely mixed too. Ray caught it just right Would love to try to sing it! Best regards, Misha.

Hi rayc,
Thank you for taking the time to write these lyrics.
Living in the past is a good theme for this music.
Have you an idea for the title of this song ? Perhaps " Words and ghosts "......Christian

Hi Christian,
another nice tune of yours. Like Misha wrote: a nice mix of easy-listening and a rocking touch. Very enjoyable and to me it's a good listen even without vocals. But I'm sure one of the guys will crown it with good lyrivs and great singing.
Cheers,
Stefan

Hi Chris ...
Love the music! It has attitude but not too edgy. Hoper someone helps you out with lyrics and vocal.
Best to you ...

Here's the song " Words and ghosts ". https://soundcloud.com/christian-devienne/words-and-ghostsThanks very much to Ray and Misha for their collaboration ! Singing : Misha Lyrics and Mix : Ray Cochrane Music : Christian Devienne Words, they’re just words But they show the workings of my mind Ghosts, they’re just ghosts They’re the only memories I can find Nothing else makes sense Just memories I can rewind Thoughts, they’re just thoughts But they make me feel I’m going blind Play, through the day To this repetition I’m resigned Nothing else makes sense The world inside is defined Words, not just words They describe the contents of my mind Ghosts, not just ghosts They’re the only loves that I could find Nothing else makes sense My ghosts keep all that we find

A very nice collaboration...
Congratulations to both of you!
Why not make a new post titled "Words and Ghosts" so other users can more easily find your song & comment...
I found it accidentally... Just saying.
