Default Love at first sight

https://barrykingsbeer.bandcamp.com/...at-first-sight

Another new song, hoelessly romantic, this one charts the meeting with the love of my life. It was along time ago but the earth really stood still. Still together, still laughing, still loving. Thats as good as it gets.

Another great one. You really are good with words!
There BV in the chorus can be improved a lot.
You can really lift the song improving that.
I can't say exactly what, but think early motown.

Thanks Mikke the story comes from memory and the heart.

The BVs are hard due to the key, without a bunch of girl singers I don't know what I can do. I tried falsettos but they are always my weak point.

Thanks, I appreciate your kind comment.
I guess we can't always see eye to eye with everyone but we try to be civilsed, and being human, regretfully, occasionally fail.

Thanks Morgon. I've been trying to write this song for around 35 years, she really is worth it and the memory of our meeting stays fresh. I finally got it done before I pop my clogs!

Thanks, glad you like the song. Fairy tales do come true. Still in love and two beautiful granddaughters as well.

Makes me wish I could sing...heartfelt emotion coming through.

Thoroughly enjoying your work. Has that bitter-sweet combination about it which really works.

This one reminds me of a Deep Purple song somehow, but can't put my finger on it...
