2 a.m. I wake up with a song idea. Come what may, I can't fall back asleep. 4 a.m., the song is done. 4h30 a.m., or so, I share it with you, here. Soon as I get some sleep, I'll catch up with everyone's songs ... I've been away once more, bereft of inspiration and busy as heck. But ... hopefully this is a good enough song to come back on. Anyway, here it is - hope you enjoy! https://soundcloud.com/jamesdelsono/how-do-you-fall-out-of-loveHOW DO YOU FALL OUT OF LOVE? How do you fall out of love? It's easy - they say - if you try; How do you fall out of love? Tell me now, I pray, When you feel you'll love her until your dying day? How do you slow your heart beating When the thought of her comes to mind How do you even stop thinking of her When her very dream keeps you awake at night? When the thought of her lingers Each time you go to pray When the touch of her fingers Is with you every day? How do you fall back in love When she's gone away from your life? How do you even get over someone Who was so nearly, so nearly your wife? *********** ****** Song Summary ************* Title: How Do You Fall Out of Love - 27 September 2021 File:How Do You Fall Out of Love - 27 September 2021.SGU Key=D , Tempo 60, Length (m:s)=2:40 No intro. 36 bar chorus, from bar 1 to bar 36.

Hi James,
I like the cool feel and groove of your song.
Vocals - they don't sit down in the track - they sound like they are pasted on top of the song. I suggest you roll off the bass frequencies on the vocals only at around 125Hz with a Q of 90 and see how they sound in the mix.
Best Regards
Nigel

Ah, the impossible task. No wonder you couldn't sleep, James. Very cool opening with Brent on the wah-wah. Excellent lyrics, and I like how you end with How do you fall BACK in love. Now, how do you fall back to sleep?

Beautifully romantic and reflective lyrics. Subconscious can create excellent ideas, I'm glad you didn't continue sleeping, because you would have probably forgotten this. I like the subtle backing band, the organ and the blues guitar give the song nice early morning mood.

Now, how do you fall back to sleep? Sir - you are simply the greatest :-))) and, to answer your question, I'm afraid - whatever it many mean - that I'm still awake ... :-) God bless you - thanks again, nothing better than making a reasonably-often-grumpy man like myself smile :-)))

Janne Yep - would have probably forgotten it, had I kept sleeping. Hope it's a good idea that I didn't :-) Thank you!!! like the R&B groove, very emotive, nice work! Thanks!!!

So in two hours you write and record a song? It takes me (Bud) about 50 cups of coffee, a few pints of beer and a couple of weeks of dismissing it and coming back, repeated ad infinitum to write a lyric. After that things go very quickly with Janice at the helm Great band and mix and a good take on love lost ... indeed! J&B

Your lyrics are so true! Thank you!!! Yep, this band slays it, I think :-) I was really lucky to run across this combination of instruments ... Brent alone on the wah-wah did most of the work!!! The lyrics were all mine, though, haha ... thank you so much for listening AND for your wonderful comments!
