A sad but true statement for many that don't last the course. A bit of bounce in the style to alleviate the symptoms though. I hope it worked.

Our passion toned by deference and love was sweetly exciting. It was hard but rewarding on our way to moving closer to the sky. We were two hearts, in tandem and entwining. We were two hearts, together from the start Now we're just one love that's slowly unwinding with our two hearts forever drifting apart. After all our years of dreaming and crazy ambitions were tempered by our weaknesses and realities of life. Our feelings ran the gauntlet of many small transitions. That cut into those hopes and memories as sharply as a knife. We were two hearts, in tandem and entwining. We were two hearts, together from the start Now we're just one love that's slowly unwinding with our two hearts forever drifting apart.

Hi Vic,
This morning I was listening to your beautiful song 'Those young old days', but couldn't reply to it (hasty things here...)
And now I'm listening to 'Two hearts'. It sounds like a joyful song, but that is only apparent (is this the correct word?).
I like the lyrics and the way you sing them. Also the guitarplay is very nice. creative.
No nits or whatever. Just good, enjoyable songs (both)!
Hans

Upbeat song but sad lyrics, as you forewarned. I think it worked well. And your unique voice delivered it as if you'd lived it. Great job.

REALLY cool.
Your vocal is solid and there's less sibilance too.

Vic, a real music oxymoron
Happy music and sad lyrics - brilliant
Great vocal and backing band
Super mix
One of your best to date IMHO

Vic, super tune, and very nicely crafted. Love your BiaB arrangement. Really nice vocals/harmonies, and I like this dry-ish vocal FX chain a lot. Great job!

Hi Vic
This is a good foot tapping appalachian style love-gone-wrong ditty. Harmonies and audio mix along with a catchy chorus combined to make this an enjoyable listen. Kudos.

Agree with the upbeat but sad..sometimes a good, creative path to combine things that don’t normally go together! I esp liked the bluegrass, chugging nature of it and how you used the two-voice harmony to emphasize the chorus..great work!

Hans.
Maybe apparently is the correct word if it was followed up with another phrase like, “That is only apparent in the instrumentation. Not apparent in the lyrics”.
Of course I am only guessing what you meant to convey.
Thank you for your generous comment. Much appreciated.
Vic

It's not a style I usually listen to but it's very well done. The voice is very pleasant.

Thank you TuneMonger.
It's based on the old saying "familiarity breeds contempt", and on life's experiences.
I have seen a few couples break up after many years being together but deep down they still feel love for each other.

Thanks Ray. When you get older the gaps between your teeth get bigger and more air escapes through them  so I got myself a de-esser. Vic

I really like the contrast between the upbeat backing tracks and the sad lyrics - good idea and really nicely realized!

Oh, some really good music there, Vic. I always love your vocals, and the harmony is just perfect. Excellent choices of instruments and you gave them all something fun to get into. You're right, I can imagine all the musicians smiling at the fun stuff coming out of their instruments, and the singer is crying. Kind of like the henchman and the accused. haha. Good name for a band, huh?
