YOUR LOVE WON'T LEAVE ME ALONE

I originally posted this a couple of days ago and immediately had critical comments on various aspects of the presentation, so I took advice from Alan and addressed the bass volume increasing as much as the mix would allow without clipping occurring and rolled off some highs on the lead vocal. Andi suggested a louder rhythm guitar presence in the mix which I applied. I also had negative comments on the drum sound which baffled me. I used EZ drummer on this and chose them because they fit my vision for this song better! I was concerned about not turning this into a hard rock sound but a more laid-back swing feel with the drums, plus the fills and grooves aligned with my playing better. I did change the kit which gave a fuller sound. I am not above taking constructive criticism but I am now pretty satisfied with what I have and will probably not be making any more changes with the mix or instrumentation other than Ron and I probably working on the verses and bridge to upgrade the lyrics there. we scratched out these verses in just a few minutes the other day. I already had the chorus. Thanks again for giving it another spin. TB

On a course for nowhere
And was well on my way
Didn't know where I was going
I could arrive any day
Walking in the darkness
Feet stuck down in the sand
Then from out of nowhere
You took hold of my hand

Your love won't leave me alone
No matter where I run
It follows me where I go
You know that I'm no good on my own
I know that I'll never deserve just how
Your love won't leave me alone

I was on a train going nowhere
And nowhere's so hard to find
Down the tracks you keep going
To the end of the line
Then you changed my destination
And you changed my mind
Then you met me at the station
And you were there right on time

Your love won't leave me alone
No matter where I run
It follows me where I go
You know that I'm no good on my own
I know that I'll never deserve just how
Your love won't leave me alone

You said step in the light
And leave the darkness behind
It's where you're waiting for me
With arms open wide
How you never gave up on me it blows my mind
You'll help me make up all of the lost time

Your love won't leave me
Your love won't leave me alone
No matter where I run
It follows me where I go
You know that I'm no good on my own
I know that I'll never deserve just how
Your love won't leave me
Your love won't leave me alone
It'll still be there when everything else is all gone
You know that I'm no good on my own
I know that I'll never deserve just how
Your love won't leave me alone
