The new version spotlights the title much better. :mrgreen:

Hope you feel better soon!

verse:

Things aren't what they seem to be
You play with the edges of reality.
You've driven off some of your friends.
Others try to comprehend.

chorus:

Little white lies and half-truths.
Hints of brilliance without proof.
It's all there in your rendition.
I should have listened to my suspicions.

verse:

The facts have a way of coming out.
Somebody I'll learn what it's all about
Witty conversation has been your bait,
Reeling me in like the catch of the day.

chorus

instrumental bridge

verse:

Maybe your real life isn't good enough.
The way you always embellish and bluff.
The lines you fed me were so smooth.
Full of little white lies and half truths

bridge:

I should have played it safe again
I'd be better off in the end
Without listening to

chorus:

Little white lies and half-truths.
Hints of brilliance without proof.

James, I like your suggestion to make the first verse the chorus and I'll see what I can do about more emphasis.

Thanks to both of you for taking the time to listen, analyze, and comment.]]> Sunday Songwriters Group Hobson https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/y12w21-little-white-lies/#post-384753 https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/y12w21-little-white-lies/#post-384752 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 14:47:44 +0000 Sunday Songwriters Group John Sargent https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/y12w21-little-white-lies/#post-384752 https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/y12w21-little-white-lies/#post-384751 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 03:55:55 +0000
I really like it! :mrgreen: Nice playing, clear message and some clever lines

Suggestions:

Consider being more straightforward here:
Things aren't what they seem to be

change to......You aren't what you seem to be

A couple of places could be adjusted to put the title more in the spotlight; I think you sense this too when you repeated the line from the v1 at the end, so why not move that line into the chorus?

v1
You've driven off some of your friends.
Others try to comprehend.
It's all there in your rendition.
I should have listened to my suspicions.

ch
Little white lies and half-truths.
Hints of brilliance without proof.
You aren't what you seem to be
PLAYING with the edges of reality.

Thanks for sharing.
