Hi all,
David Lekich has written the lyrics of this song and he sings.
I'm very glad to collaborate one more time with him. He is very talented !

https://soundcloud.com/christian-devienne/hard-world-waiting

Everything you ever thought,
every love you ever dreamed,
every fairytale they told you,
they ain’t quite what they seem
Wish yourself a white knight
In an ivory limousine,
but love can break your heart.

There’s a hard world waiting
somewhere down the line.
There’s a hard world waiting
in the shadows close behind.
Love can be so beautiful,
so perfect sometimes,
and then you wake to find
a hard world waiting.

Castles floating on the clouds
don’t always stand so long;
just takes a reckless word
to sunder each and every stone.
Love can be the mortar
that can keep it standing strong
but love can break your heart.

Hush, you’ll know love’s ecstasy;
but don’t rush into it carelessly.
Just let it be what it will be when it will be,
or watch it turn to dust
(and break your pretty heart).

Love is an essential thing:
the air we need to breathe,
the life force in our very veins,
but sometimes it can bleed.
Trust that love can save you,
but be wary way down deep
‘cause love can break your heart.

And there’s a hard world waiting
somewhere down the line.
There’s a hard world waiting
in the shadows close behind.
Love can be so beautiful,
so perfect sometimes,
and I pray you never find
a hard world waiting.

I liked the split/panned vocal in the bridge...the radio FX vocal on the 2nd art of that worked a treat.
Really cool collaboration gents.

Hi Chris and Deej ...

What a great song. A lovely creation resulting from two fine collaborators.

A super vocal. I've come to appreciate David's fine vocals over the past year or so. he sounds great here. Another thing I enjoyed was the clever and unexpected chord pattern. The vocal effects were a real nice treat

Excellent work by both of you!

Wishing you the very best. Be safe ...

Alan

Nice collab guys!

Cool vocal, write, progressions and mix.

It has a hard to describe, moody might be the word, vibe to it that is quite engaging.

The good band and arrangement also add to it.

Well done you two!

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
