https://soundcloud.com/tonycliffsongs/lets-face-itThis one is a ballad from the album 'Waiting in the Wings' and Donna sent me the lyric first and I set it to a song. The BIAB tracks included are listed at the end. I played Garritan CFX grand piano and also played the acoustic guitar short instrumental. Drums were Superior Drummer and Bass was Spectrasonics Trilian. The cello was very nice from BIAB and I also played in some strings but can't remember which product. Here is Donna's lyric: Let’s Face It (Lyric © Donna Evans and Music © Tony Cliff 2018) Verse 1 Your eyes used to melt into mine Your kiss tasted like cherry wine Used to stay up and talk all night You were the highlight of my life Seems our huggin’ days are through Lately something’s shadowing you More often you’re angry sometimes sad You say it’s all good but it feels so bad Chorus The way we were’s an old refrain It just happens no one’s to blame So if our love has come and gone Tell me now let me move on Tell me it’s over let’s face it If it’s over let’s face it Verse 2 Let’s talk about it decide what to do Don’t beat around it tell the truth Be honest don’t tell me lies Babe you know I can sympathise Part of me wants to hold on Wanted you to be my forever one It’s a hard break that I can handle Wanna’ manage collateral damage Chorus Bridge The smile’s gone from your happy face Take a good look in the mirror Cry a few tears until you’re clear There’s another love out there waiting Chorus Style is _READER.STY (Reader Songwriter Strings) RealTracks in style: 1856:Cello, Background PopCountry Ev 085 RealTracks in style: 2932:Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking SongwriterAlternating8thsQuinn Ev 110

This was one of my favorites. Really like the melody, especially the chorus.

Very nice. Kinda made me want to jump in and try to save things. Extra-fine progression, smooth vocals hinting at resignation, and a good, solid, and sad lyric.

The chorus is surprisingly catchy for a "breakup" song.
A pleasant vocal and nice production.

Well done funkycornwall, great work on this! The different elements really glue well together and the vibe is very appealing. Thoroughly enjoyed the cello to harmonize everything. Wonderful effects on the vocals too. Keep it up!

Really nice work on this one, Tony  It is so gentle and pristine, and your vocals sound pristine and heartfelt. The backing tracks compliment your voice perfectly as well. It reminds me a bit of really early Bee-Gees (pre-disco era). The chorus is nicely catchy too. Thanks for sharing!

Very beautiful melody and enjoyable chord progression. Nice melancholy lyrics with a positive message at the end.
