EVERLONG (lyrics by Lawrence Payne)

How am I going to do it tomorrow?…
If I don’t know how to do it today?…
How am I going to ease the quarrels, baby…
…if I keep standing in my own way?…

My soul will search for truth until satisfied…
For it longs for the day to overcome…arise…I reach for the skies…

And how strong we are?…Your guess is as good as mine…
And how long we’ll stay?…It’s just a matter of Time to find…

…Sometimes our seeing looks more like deceiving…
I believe that you’re seeing it too…
Receiving a meaning…conceiving…concealing…
I see that you’re believing it too…

Everlong…don’t be gone…
Everlong…I’m waiting…for you…

If you really wanna be livin’ tomorrow…well, you could be like lovin’ today…
If you really wanna be loving’ tomorrow…than this could be your day!…
                                                 SOLO
Someone is seeing many beings believing…
I believe that you’re seeing it too…
The Quest seems endless ‘til you find…
Well, who was it that made our minds?…

Everlong… won’t be gone…
Everlong… will be waiting…

I await for us to see that what is greater beyond(our)belief…
A Beautiful place for you & me…The Fight’s allover…we’re Free!…

This sounds fantastic man
true professionals
I think you guys had a lot of fun making it
keep up the good work
and thx for commend on my stuff, don't know if i ever play like this but ill try

Great song.  Nicely played and recorded.

A pretty good blend of sounds -
      The phased guitar sounds great
      Heavy lead is nice
      Vocals well sung
      Bass not quite bassy enough, and needs to be "dirtier"
      Solo guitar is played well, but the sound is just a bit too "thin"
                                                        .............in my opinion!

All in all, nicely constructed with just a few fairly minimal sound issues.

Well done

i dont like this as much as your other recordings, simply because the style is not one i maintain an affinity for....as with all your recordings the sound quality is fairly good, everything can be heard well in the mix, and it seems like the vocals were done very well, both in singing and production/mixing....ill still vote an 80 ....i try to take pieces for what they are and vote on that curve rather than downgrading something just because its not my style of tune, and im sure (hoping) most of the rest of us do the same...i do really like the structure here and the way the guitar is ever-changing...nice job

Well, for sure you did have a very good recording quality with your band.

A different composer... still has that Maximalist (as opposed to Minimalist) texture...

And lots of things happening in there. It sounds faster and happier, but it doesn't bore. Toward the end more stuff is happening. Don't know if that was all that necessary, imo... probably takes away from commercial value, but adds depth.

Anyways, pretty cool.

*applauds for the dead band*

Hell yeah, this has a driving feel.  Even though there is a lot of distortion and effects, all the musicianship (which on the whole is on point) shines through.  I like the more complex progression at the end, also the breakdown near the beginning is very effective.

what can I say    i love the rock  you play...nice tune...sounds great....great guitar....I deff would buy you a beer dude ...Rock on

The singer has a good feel for pitch, it's a strong voice, but I miss the vibrato on the held notes, such as the end note.

The rhythm matches the melody-in the new song, it felt like they were fighting each other. You can tell a singer wrote this, you know? Of course, I'm pretty sure that all songs revolve around the singer....(nice fade on vox at "skies..." I tend to want it to go up another note there, tho I don't know if he could do it-that wouldn't be an easy trick for a lot of guys...

I'd like to see one "brian worm" of a melodic hook, so I could walk away singing some part of the melody...

Also want to hear something at the end of the song get higher, but not everyone can write like Steve Perry. And it doen't make any sense for it to be that way, either...that's just what works for him.

Wow.....This is weird.Have you ever heard of the Canadian band April Wine? When this started I thought it was them.So ya I like it.

well, weird is something i never heard before in relation to this song, but, I am not afraid off that, i like a little weirdness myself.

I did hear of April Wine, but thats very very long ago, can't name a song of them, but for fun i'll check 'm out

i think i agree with Jiminuk about the mixing issues

tnx everyone for listening

I love the periodic half-step falls. Love the guitar at 3:10

High Vote from me

Sorry Max I think you misunderstood me.......the song isnt weird, its just weird hearing a band sounding like April Wine......Check out Ouwanite and Roller....Classics over here.
