Thanks for listening and for any and all comments! https://soundcloud.com/jamesdelsono/i-used-to-write-love-songs I USED TO WRITE LOVE SONGS I used to write love songs I thought they mattered so I used to write love songs ... They matter to me no more. I used to write love songs I used to care about you I used to write love songs But you're no longer true. I used to write love songs For the one I trusted to kiss I used to write love songs For the one that's brought me to this. I used to write love songs For Him that is up in the sky ... I used to write love songs ... It seems I was writing to a lie. I used to write love songs For those that were closest to me I used to write love songs For those that deserved not to be. I used to write love songs For th' love that I was longing for ... I used to write love songs E'en as it walked out the door. * I used to write love songs Because I believed in YOU so ... I used to write love songs ... Please tell me if all this was but a show ... ... before I'm no more. ** Song Summary ********* Title: I Used To Write Love Songs - 2 December 2020 File:I Used To Write Love Songs - 2 December 2020.SGU Key=D , Tempo 60, Length (m:s)=3:28 No intro. 48 bar chorus, from bar 1 to bar 48.

Musically I think this'd work even better with a more aggressive industrial arrangement. As it plays the progression and arrangement are fine but they don't amplify the narrative. Seriously, TENDRKA or one of the DOOM styles would be perfect. Cheers rayc "What's so funny about peace, love & understanding?" - N.Lowe

Although you speak them (very well, I should add), I always find the melody and sing them with you. Much fun. Thanks!!

Ray: I will check the styles you mention ... after Monday :-) . I've also re-mixed some of my older stuff, taking your advice ... so will most likely publish it all on here next week, haha - just so that you can (hopefully!!! haha) hear the difference! Stay safe, everyone :-) My website
