Hi everyone,

This song was partially based on some medicall experiences I had last year. But all I sing here did not happen!
Well..., the part about my wife is true laugh
And also the duration of my recovery...
And it also has nothing to do with the return of a mummy...

It is called You Came Back, https://on.soundcloud.com/qQfgk

But because I was glad to leave some nasty things behind I made a song with a beat!
Hope you like it!
Hans

==============
The lyrics:
You came back
HWBerkhout (c) 020424

It was a lovely sunny day,
so we went shopping in the city mall
I didn’t hear it coming,
but I woke up in a hospital

Vaguely, I could see my hands,
they were bandaged and I think all of me too
Footsteps coming my way
I feared some bad news about you...

Chorus
But when I heard that voice right behind me
Oh I... I was in heaven
To hear this sound is some sensation
The one I love came back

It took some time to recover
But I was happy we both survived
Oh, I missed you
the days you could not come to visit me

Chorus
But when I heard that voice right behind me
Oh I... I was in heaven
To hear this sound is some sensation
The one I love came back

Solo
Chorus
When I hear that voice right behind me
Oh I... I am in heaven
To hear this sound is some sensation
The one I love came back

I came home
more or less the one I was
But my eyes...
healed enough to gaze at you

Chorus 2x
And when I hear that voice right behind me
Oh I... I am in heaven
To hear this sound is some sensation
The one I love came back

Oh, when I hear that voice right behind me
Oh I... know it is you
To hear this sound is some sensation
And now you came back to me

And the technicall stuff

Glad you made it through whatever happened - it gave the rest of us a chance to hear some of your good music. I really liked the beat on this one, and I too thought it was a great lead guitar you placed in there. I had a similar experience in an emergency room one day, and your chorus really nailed how I felt when I awoke and first heard my wife's voice behind me. Good stuff Birchwood.

So much great art is born of adversity...glad you came out of it with a song! Yeah, that backing track just percolates along, but I love all the little stutters and gear changes. And REALLY love the way you've processed your fine vocals on this one. Just a perfect synthesis of music and storytelling.

It's great to hear that you not only made it through whatever happened, but also made a song out of it.
That's a pretty cool song, I like it.

Floyd, thanks! The real story is different, but I still need to recover.
Your compliments help!

Brad, thanks for these nice words! The chorus was pretty much how I felt (and sometimes still do). What nice (in a way) you had that experience too. I like that idea, thanks!

Ron, There is a saying about sadness and creativity. They often go together... More than joy and creativity. But I prefer joy in my life ;-)

Thanks for listening,
Hans

Beautiful sounds. Hans. A cool song of what's important in life. The lyrics paint a picture of love and happiness in a very deep level devoid of time and space. Yeah, that's it!! Happy for you both!!


Enjoy whatever happens!

Hi Bob, Torrey and Brain,

Thanks for your positive coments on this song!
I had no accident as in the song, but something nasty with my throat.
I was the second one in my country to undergo that operation, so a little shaky.
It will take a year to recover... so I'm half way now.
What I suffered was too complicated to sing about, therefore I chose that accident.
The chorus was -more or less- true

Second listen on this one Hans. Very cool intro. What a cool groove to this tune. I think the bass lines and hihat really contributed to the groove.. Excellent vocal and lyric. Masterful production and mix. Well done..

Hi, Hans.

Nice vibe! Sounds very cool - as Vic says, "Good production".

Glad you're doing OK. Real life is rarely simple enough to write out "As Is" - it makes much more sense to edit out the "unimportant" details. smile

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Accidents are scary Hans! I had one about 18 months ago and had some PTSD for a while. Glad you are OK and putting some great music together!!! Take care. Greg
