Lie to Me

As some of you know, I spend too much time in the car commuting to work, which leaves me little time during the week for writing and conjugal visits. If I had my druthers, I'd prefer the latter. Summer break is a week away---then two months of vacation. Anyway, I managed to write this: another musical character sketch.

Just close the door
And turn around
Don’t talk anymore

Turn off the light
Embrace the dark
Let’s get lost in the night

Please lie to me
I need you to lie to me

What are you doing?
I don’t want to know
Save me from the ruin

Keep me near
Tell me you love me
Say what I want to hear

Please lie to me
I need you to lie to me

The truth won’t sent me free
All is ask is that you let me be
And lie, lie,
Lie to me
I need you to lie to me

Scott

Wow what a melody! This has such a beautiful flow to it and the chord structure and arrangement are very nice! Those strings really make this song pop! You did a super job in all aspects of this one!

Thanks, Torrey

Hi, Scott !


What a wonderful tune !
I liked everything about it,
write, vocals, progression
and mix !

Cheers
Dani

Hi Scott,

I really like that vocal melody you came up with! And love the passionate vocal too.

Sounds good, enjoyed! Enjoy your vacation!

BTW, the first song that Chris Spruit and I did together, way back in 2015, was also called Lie To Me

Yeah, it's all about the melody, and this one is top-notch, Scott. Your vocal shines as always with such passion and conviction. A beautiful write --love the changes and melody.

Hi Ezekiel,

Very emotional song, with a beautiful melody!
You sang your heart out, so to say...

I was thinking about your lyrics with that heartfelt cry to lie to you.
And I decided not to. Your song was too beautiful to lie about

Have a nice vacation,
Hans

Scott, what an emotional heart felt song

Fantastic vocal with outstanding lyrics

The backing band was perfect as was the mix

I will not lie to you IMHO this is your best to date

Loved it

Very nice song. I've always enjoyed hearing you sing, but I think you did an extra specially good job on this one - really good, and a great mix too.

Hi Scott,

Really beautiful song.
Music, lyrics. vocals!

Rob and Anne-Marie

Torrey, Thanks much. I spent a lot of time at the piano on this one.

Thanks so much, Dani. I appreciate the feedback.

Dave, after reading your comment, I had to go to your site and find the song. I was curious to see if the theme of the song was the same since they were titled the same, but the content was much different. I liked your song too!

good tune tho !! you would have to tempo it up !!seems your vocals are too slow too match the tempo of the song !!, both are dragging !.

This would be a better song /listen, if you redone the tempo and re sung it at the newer father tempo !!

Scott,
One of the most unusual and melody adventurous tunes I have heard by you (sorry, not lying).
Clever musical bed and ACE vocals. Very creative stuff. Couple of spins, listens very well. Enjoyed it and thank you for sharing.

Misha.

Hello Scott
really good song
Great sung and played
Your voice comes out very well in this song
Great job Scott
Many greetings
Andi ;-)

Ezekiel,

Yeah, those chord changes married to that melody—really easy on the ear. The backing instrumentation (Symphonic Elements?) really work well here and give that chorus rich depth. Vocal is compelling. Sweet tune!

All my best to you,

Deej

Scott

Very pretty song, beautifully sung and composed.

A pleasure to listen to.

Peter

Scott,
A very cool melody and you sing those simple, pleading lyrics with conviction and, of course, your unmistakable rich tone.
The strings are a nice touch.
Very good!

Robert

Scott...what a beautiful melody...so melancholy and captivating...the chord structure reminds me of the British composers like Lennon and McCartney or Elton John...the vocal is so passionate and perfect for the piece...so well done in composing, arranging and performing...this is so good!

Marty, I appreciate you taking time to listen and comment. Much appreciated!


Hans, thanks. Ha! Good one!


Mario, thanks so much!

Thanks, Brad. You're too kind. Also, thanks for listens on my other songs recently!



Thanks, Rob and Anne-Marie. Much appreciated!

Beautiful song Scott. Lovely vocal and lyric. Backtrack was a perfect framework for the song. Well done

I did a double take when I read "conjugal visits". The term conjugal does refer to married folk but has a particular meaning when tied with "visit".

I NEEDED to listen to your song to get that out of my head.

The narrative - a more direct acknowledgement that there's no winning - is a good one.

Well done.

Beatmaster, thanks for the listen and feedback. I will keep the tempo as is though.



Vielen Dank, Andi!

Thanks, Misha. I appreciate your feedback.

Beautiful song, Scott.

As most have noted, an exceptional melody. A succinct lyric that covers the bases

I really like your vocals - your "tone" is easy to listen to...

Good BAND. Good mix.

fj

Great Production!!!!

Love the song too!

Amazing progression. Well done sir!!

This has a George Harrison feel to it and that is so good.

As others have mentioned both the melody and progression are awesome.

Your vocal sounds rich and powerful and the band is top notch.

You topped it all off with an outstanding mix. Nothing to add and nothing to take away.

Kudos!

J&B

Deej, I appreciate the your time for the listen and feedback.
Thanks much, Peter.



Robert, thank you for your kind assessment.

Lovely song, Scott. Melodic, well constructed and very well sung.
Regards,
Leon
