Description

Ever felt like having to choose between two persons?

(Edit: I'm new in making this kind of music... guitar and vocals are a one-take recording... but this is a newer version with less inaccuracies... and some percussion)

all music and arangement by me.
It's a singer-songwriter track so it shouldn't be here in folk. When the dance and rock genre gets subdivided I will find a more suitable place for this track.

Lyrics:

refrein:
Scared to lose
'cuz I can't choose between
the both of you
Scared to choose
'cuz I might lose
the both of you

And my heart is torn in two
yes it bleeds for the both of you
I hate it when I have to say
I'm losing you
And I know waiting is no good
Picking sides is what I should
I hate it but I'll have to say
I'm losing you

refrein

And my angels are here today
a hell if they look my way
a devil if I can say
I'm losing you
and my angels are here today
a hell if they look my way
a devil makes me say
I'm losing you

bridge:
I know what it means to be
chosen
Not standing there in the cold
frozen

And I know waiting is no good
Picking sides is what I should
I hate it but I'll have to say
I'm losing you (8x)

refrein
the both of you (4x)

sorry, I accidently added a thumb up on my own track...

ELFENKOMMANDO [be] - 16 years ago

who cares ... even if you should have added 27 thumbs up, it wouldn't matter man ... this is sumthin' i could hear any day on stubru, when i'm riding to work m8 ... really pro-made, and excellent production - as usual. (what compressor did u youse for the voice? it sounds a little like that nomad factory blue tubes, but without the 'vintage' dusty sauce all over it ...) really really nice - as usual :))

reaman [be] - 16 years ago

the only thing I used for the recording was my zoom recorder and added a little reverb on the whole track (ie. guitar and vocals)

in my fruity loops there was a little compression (don't ask me what kind of...) on the whole song

a heart-warming comment like yours is much appreciated!!

Hey Reaman, it's beautiful, what's the very fourth guitar chord in international alphabet? I'm learning guitar and i like this chord. :) so tell me if you agree... Simon Dos

Kinet [be] - 16 years ago

shit, man, :(
sorry for your difficult situation. Like they say in gardening: "check for the roots" - the flowers aren't so important, their sweet and sometimes soooo tender, but the roots are with what your living. For more flowers, beautifuller, year after year....

This is really superb quality man...+fav

transynth [be] - 16 years ago

Really nice try. Just a thought..but couldn't this use some deeper bassnotes? i feel like missing some low freqs.Might give it a try there it's nice already :)

reaman [be] - 16 years ago

thx Kinet for your concern.. but it's just a song...
@ MrNice: thx a lot man, uploading an even better version very soon
@Transynth: you might be right but for now it's the best I can do. as said: I hear the notes your missing but I can't play nor program them.

Djinn [be] - 16 years ago

Beautiful song, transynth is right, I also would put some bass notes ...

But the song is nice !

reaman super song man ! i like it very well ! its honest and clean and sounds like its comming right of youre heart ! its remembering me to my song making time before a get to electrobel here ! its getting you to youre music roots ! without all that electronical stufffffffff !
samples and plugings crashes ! take an guitar and jamm ! greets thats the kind of making song straight from the heart !

antares [be] - 16 years ago

Nice song! The only thing that bothers me are the beats. I would leave it more minimalistic and intimate, without the beats... But that's just my (personal) opinion, so don't mind me :)
greets

reaman [be] - 16 years ago

@ falcon: I'm glad this song makes you think of whatever it may be... as long as it doesn't pass unnoticed. thx (and it's honest, not anest)

@antares: did you hear the previous version too...? It was with more minimalistic percussion. Everybody has it's own vision. i intentionally added some because it was like an exercice to me. I think the percussion has an extra value in the parts where also synths play, maybe in the "strophes" it isn't necessary. Thx for listening.

bandarlog [be] - 16 years ago

wowie! Properkes! Nice compo & recording! But you really need bass :)

reaman [be] - 16 years ago

have asked liquidbass... for bass it is.
someone might make a houseremix as well...

Rabauw [be] - 16 years ago

Jah man gooooood song again, when will we see your name appear on the Dranouter-bill?

Hmh cello doesn't sound like it should. Needs a bit more reverb and push it more towards the back.
I prefer the rhodes/organesque sound.

The break at 2'25" is really good. The touch of the piano gives some contrast that's good too.

Anonymous [be] - 16 years ago

But not my favorite Reaman.

SylvaindeMerode [be] - 16 years ago

I haven't listen to your changes yet since the first version. It's very cool and fresh.
Some points I dislike : the brightness sometimes too hard and the instrument in the background wich doens't sound real enough.
Cheers.
