#205550 - 06/06/13 10:29 AM [User Showcase] That Which Might Have Been
Registered: 04/20/10 Posts: 4840 Loc: Florida 90 dB Veteran Registered: 04/20/10 Posts: 4840 Loc: Florida	And now, something completely different......... http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=12354436 That Which Might Have Been ©2013 Robert Randall Burke You asked if I could save you I said I'd surely try Turned out to be a mountain Too high to climb Your questions had no answers None that I could find Your lines, they had no meter The words, no rhyme. It's your own short story You've got to write the end You might call it “That Which Might Have Been”. The maples are all turning Soon the snow will fall And you won't hear my footsteps Coming down the hall A blank page lies before you You take your pen in hand And try to write an ending You can understand. It's your own short story You've got to write the end You might call it “That Which Might Have Been”. I hope you'll think about me Every now and then When you think about That which might have been. You asked if I could save you I said I'd surely try. Key=C , Tempo 85, Length (m:s)=3:57 No intro. 80 bar chorus, from bar 1 to bar 80. Repeat x1 chorus No Melody No Soloist track. Song is saved with Volume, Pan, Reverb, Chorus, Bank0, Style is _PNCALIS.STY (Calif.Slow Sol-Acomp.Piano(85RS)) RealTracks in style: 1006:Piano, Acoustic, Solo-Accompaniment, PopCaliforniaSlow Ev 085******************* _________________________ Dyslectics Untie! https://90dbband.bandcamp.com/ https://soundcloud.com/90-db https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCm_3mpivKYV7T7XFJmXL-GA

I can think of no way in which this could be improved. Apart from being such a good song, it shows just how versatile you are. So it's not just Eddie who can write sad songs! What next?

I like the vocals and the arrangement. Totally different from your Mars thing. You wear many hats. Guenter _________________________ http://www.21d.de/ Latest Song: What You Desire

I would guess this only took one try. It's your own short story You've got to write the end You might call it “That Which Might Have Been”. This may be one of THE best written choruses I've ever heard. The overall feeling of the song is one I get from very few. The best of the best. "Walkaway Joe". "The Dance". Who the @#@# are you? ........ Okay.... other stuff... Your vocal is perfect. You are a cool singer. The strings are perfect. The piano... seems "thin". The playing is what it should be, but the RT is lacking a depth that they normally have. Did you do anything to it? What is that? floyd _________________________ 125+ BIAB Songs

You're right about the piano. I had to thin it out in the low mids to give the strings some room. I love that solo piano, but it is really heavy on the bottom end, and I wanted the string section to have some oomph.

I have played around with the solo piano tracks but have not used them to create anything.... it's good to hear what they can do. _________________________ You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.com Add nothing that adds nothing to the music

The lyrics and melody are "meaty", something you can sink your heart into. I imagined Elton on keys. Nice choice of RTs. Overall; good on ya, my friend. _________________________ Donny SoundClick: http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=1209254&content=music SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/donald-gaynor BIAB 2019 w/current updates.

Registered: 12/05/11 Posts: 7040 Loc: GA USA Janice & Bud Veteran Registered: 12/05/11 Posts: 7040 Loc: GA USA	Great chorus! And "You take your pen in hand..." gives almost a 19th century feel - or that's my image and I'm sticking with it. I've read many letters from that period where the writer would preface his/her comments with "I take my pen in hand." Superb in all aspects.

I'm a big fan of the 19th Century myself. I suppose the modern version would be: "I take my iPad in hand..."
