The rework on the 3rd verse is bang on, brings it all back to theme.


Im also really tempted to change the last chorus IMO, you shouldn't change "lie" to "love" in the chorus if you keep the line "settle for love" in the verse. That line is great, because it is honest to her condition, but I think it loses its impact if the chorus gives away the twist.]]> Sunday Songwriters Group SlowPlay https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/ssg5-week-26-true-lies-mp3/#post-241321 https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/ssg5-week-26-true-lies-mp3/#post-241205 Fri, 04 May 2007 22:06:36 +0000
Nice song here, I particulalrly like the last two lines of chorus
And sometimes it's simply the way that you smile
A smile she's not feeling inside I think everyone can relate to that feeling (I had it 3 times today! A baaad day of bumping into ex's on the street! Maybe I'll write a song about that....) :lol:

Nice work.

After listening to the MP3, there's not a thing I'd change. The new lyrics are perfect, the backing's just right - nice sparse instrumentation.....

And what struck me most, it's very POLISHED and professional sounding....

Excellent song, Paul!!!

:D :D :D :D :D

Trev I think if I increased the volume of the congas then everybody would know how bad I am at playing them, still I've only had them a couple of weeks.

cheers

Nice little congo thing happening , very good ..

The congos IMO could have been a tad louder { personal preference }

Great work as usual sir

if your interested.


Im also really tempted to change the last chorus to this
Cos everybody loves sometimes
And sometimes it's not what you say
And sometimes it's simply the way that you smile
A smile she's not feeling inside
or
A smile she's not feeling right now because it legitimises to last line of V3 that Im not entirely happy with what do you think ?

Heres the old version:

V1
He's a boy of eighteen she's thirty and keen
And youth's such a waste on the young
And a chance to relive what she wouldn't give
To step back in time with this one

V2
So she paints up her face and wraps up the prize
She can pass for a much younger squeeze
And why should she care just as long as he's there
Though she plays this part with unease

chorus
Cos everybody lies sometimes
And sometimes it's not what you say
And sometimes it's simply that look in your eye
She looks at herself with surprise

V3
So she leaves for the date don't want to be late
She knows the clock is still ticking
And maybe this time she will settle for love
The truth is just not worth admitting

chorus
Cos everybody lies sometimes
And sometimes it's not what you say
And sometimes it's simply that look in your eye
She looks at herself with surprise Paul]]> Sunday Songwriters Group pbee https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/ssg5-week-26-true-lies-mp3/#post-240866
