Lie to Me As some of you know, I spend too much time in the car commuting to work, which leaves me little time during the week for writing and conjugal visits. If I had my druthers, I'd prefer the latter.  Summer break is a week away---then two months of vacation. Anyway, I managed to write this: another musical character sketch.

I don’t want to know Save me from the ruin Keep me near Tell me you love me Say what I want to hear Please lie to me I need you to lie to me The truth won’t sent me free All is ask is that you let me be And lie, lie, Lie to me I need you to lie to me

Wow what a melody! This has such a beautiful flow to it and the chord structure and arrangement are very nice! Those strings really make this song pop! You did a super job in all aspects of this one!
Thanks, Torrey

Hi Scott, I really like that vocal melody you came up with! And love the passionate vocal too. Sounds good, enjoyed! Enjoy your vacation! BTW, the first song that Chris Spruit and I did together, way back in 2015, was also called Lie To Me

Hi Ezekiel, Very emotional song, with a beautiful melody! You sang your heart out, so to say... I was thinking about your lyrics with that heartfelt cry to lie to you. And I decided not to. Your song was too beautiful to lie about  Have a nice vacation, Hans

Loved it

Thanks, Torrey Torrey, Thanks much. I spent a lot of time at the piano on this one. Hi, Scott ! What a wonderful tune ! I liked everything about it, write, vocals, progression and mix ! Cheers Dani Thanks so much, Dani. I appreciate the feedback. Hi Scott, I really like that vocal melody you came up with! And love the passionate vocal too. Sounds good, enjoyed! Enjoy your vacation! BTW, the first song that Chris Spruit and I did together, way back in 2015, was also called Lie To Me Dave, after reading your comment, I had to go to your site and find the song. I was curious to see if the theme of the song was the same since they were titled the same, but the content was much different. I liked your song too!

good tune tho !! you would have to tempo it up !!seems your vocals are too slow too match the tempo of the song !!, both are dragging !.
This would be a better song /listen, if you redone the tempo and re sung it at the newer father tempo !!

Scott,
One of the most unusual and melody adventurous tunes I have heard by you (sorry, not lying).
Clever musical bed and ACE vocals. Very creative stuff. Couple of spins, listens very well. Enjoyed it and thank you for sharing.
Misha.

Ezekiel,
Yeah, those chord changes married to that melody—really easy on the ear. The backing instrumentation (Symphonic Elements?) really work well here and give that chorus rich depth. Vocal is compelling. Sweet tune!
All my best to you,
Deej

Scott,
A very cool melody and you sing those simple, pleading lyrics with conviction and, of course, your unmistakable rich tone.
The strings are a nice touch.
Very good!

Scott...what a beautiful melody...so melancholy and captivating...the chord structure reminds me of the British composers like Lennon and McCartney or Elton John...the vocal is so passionate and perfect for the piece...so well done in composing, arranging and performing...this is so good!
