Wrote this over 15 years ago and never got around to recording it. Had a tough time singing it. Amazing how your voice changes over the years (not necessarily for the better).

Standing with her today
Words and Music by Troy Schiewe
Copyright 2020

As she walks you can see she is smiling
As she walks you can see it in her eyes
As she walks thinking of another
As she walks my memory just dies

As they stand belonging to one another
As they stand for the rest of thier lives
As they stand taking their vows together
As they stand her love for me has died

And if I had a chance to do it over
I'd said the things she needed me to say
And if I had took the time to think it over
I'd be standing with her today

I've so many regrets
Can not get them off my mind
I just can't seem to forget
Had I been different she'd be mine

Thru the years they'll be good to one another
Thru the years my memories be kind
Thru the years I'll often think about her
Thru the years my love for her won't die

And if I had a chance to do it over
I'd said the things she needed me to say
And if I had took the time to think it over
I'd be standing with her today
I'd be standing with her today

Hello Troy
Even the greats have trouble with and ageing voice.
I remember Paul McCartney saying he couldn't sing in same keys as he used to.
This is truly a great song and your vocal sounds fine.
I really enjoyed this song and look forward to hearing more from you.

Your voice sounds just fine so don't be afraid to sing. Your instrumentation was perfect for this and your mix was spot on. But it was those lyrics that took it over the top for me. What a fantastic song.

You should be very proud of this one!

Troy,

Really like your songwriting—this among a number of tunes I’ve heard from you. This is classic country, well-executed and well sung. I really like the structure of the lyrics: “As she walks,” “As they stand,” and “Thru the years”. And the hook on the chorus is compelling, with some sweet harmonies. Really well done! Enjoyed my listen. Oh, and love that baritone guitar solo!

Best regards,

Deej

Well constructed on narrative, lyrical, arrangement & melodic levels.
Vocals - really, REALLY, fit this song to a T.
No issues with plosives, sibilance or the other usual bugbears.
The Voicelive 2 work is excellent - a really good demo of it in fact.
Loved it.


Cheers

Really nice work on this - I personally thought the vocals suited the instrumentation excellently. I love how well it flows, and found it nicely catchy as well. Nothing like a good old fashion classic country tune smile

Thanks for sharing!


Cheers,

Classic country weeper, vocals were outstanding in my book. Sounded radio ready and mix was great.
