PG Music Home Forums General Discussion User Showcase Don't Ever Be Afraid To Fly

Here is a new production done in an R&B style. I wrote all the music and lyrics. It consist of a combination of RealTracks and my bass and rhythm guitar recorded live. Except for the Oohs and Aahs, I sing all the vocal leads and harmonies. It was produced in Reaper.
I hope you get a chance to listen and enjoy.

Don't Ever Be Afraid To Fly

What we have here
Is designed to divide

Comes a time dear, oh dear
To decide

You got to draw your own line
Make up your mind

I hear you calling
My name

When Autumn leaves are falling
It echo's just the same

You got something
Everybody wants to talk about
Everybody gonna want to know
Your game

Don't you ever be
Afraid to fly
Don't you ever be afraid
To say goodbye

You got me thinking 'bout checkin out
Everything feels so bad
It seems the time is running out
On any hope we had

Don't you ever be afraid
To Fly

What we're paying
Is too high

And all I'm saying
Is we're just trying to get by

Everybody knows
You gonna drop the dime
Does the punishment Fit
The crime

Don't you ever be
Afraid to fly
Don't you ever be afraid
To say goodbye

Eveybody holding on
Doing the best they can
There's got to be
A better way
Got to be a better plan

Don't you ever be afraid
To fly
