Thought I'd take a stab at singing in the high vocal register when I put this song together. The entire song was written in BIAB. Pandora Radio picked it up and with some of my other songs have put it in rotation. I don't think it's the best song I've ever done by a longshot but again someone asked "When do you know when you've written a good song?" In my opinion it's when the song resonates with an audience of strangers that don't know you but can connect with the song. Vocal performance is good but not great. I'd like to sing it again but oh well .. It's out now so no use in wondering about that :-)

MAKE UP YOUR MIND - Henry Clarke

https://pandora.app.link/UOeQ6ws8Edb

MAKE UP YOUR MIND (c)

1st Verse:
I've been waiting for a while, for you to decide,
So tell me so
Since ya came into my life, things just seem so right
am I the only one.

Change:
Said that you needed, time to think it through,
But I can't hold out much longer so tell me just what to do ----

Hook:
Maybe it's time
To make up your mind
maybe it's time
To make up your mind ---

2nd verse:
I been waiting for the day, to hear the words ya say,
I have no fear.
So don't make me beg tonight, I've tried with all my might
to make ya see it's you and me

Change:
I know he wants ya, we know it's true ---
But I need to know from you
so tell me just what can I do ----

HOOK:
Maybe it's time,
to make up your mind.
Maybe it's time,
to make up your mind.

SAX SOLO: 8 bars

Change:
You're one of a kind,
you make my soul come alive.
You mean the world to me,
Girl you're all that I need ---

HOOK:
Maybe it's time,
to make up your mind.
Maybe it's time,
To make up your mind .... (repeated, adlib, and fade)

I always love your music, Henry. But Pandora won't let me listen without an account and I do not have ann account with them. Nonetheless, good luck with your song. Hope is gets lots of airplay. Your music deservers a wife audience.

Hi Henry,

European Belgian, I do not have access to your composition. Pity. Maybe you should put it on soundcloud?

Kindly regards

Thanks Al for attempting to give it a try. Just so you know an account is "Free" but I do understand. My music is also on Spotify, Amazon, iTunes, and all the major sites in case you have access to those. Much Love !! Henry

Thanks for the suggestion. However, for any of my released music I will not be putting it on Soundcloud. Soundcloud posting for my released music is not in my best interest. Thanks again for trying to access. Peace :-)
