Thanks for the comment on the other version .. I have worked on this song after realizing how terrible the other version was ...Hope this turns out well..




That's What I'm Here For

Verse 1
City lights
aren't shining so bright tonight
there's no leaves
on the trees.
nothing's outside
but a deep
city freeze
when seasons change..
life slips
in and out of time
makes it hard to
find old friends of mine
 
Verse 2
The news of yesteryear
was on T.V. today
bout a little boy's cry
his Mom stopped breathing
she was dying            
his call fell upon
two silent ears
all that is left
is a future that he fear's
 
Chorus:
I think that the world made a wrong turn
My friend
instead of looking for the future
it was searching for the end
I love the human race
but, I can't hack it every single,
every single day
every single day
I love the human race
I can't hack it
every day

Verse 3
Here's a story
about
a man who lost both of his legs
he was strong willed
his spirit, he saved
we lose things
then realize
how lucky we are
I don't fly first class
I bought a
Greyhound lifetime
pass

Chorus:
I think that the world made a wrong turn
My friend
instead of looking for the future
it was searching for the end
I love the human race
but, I can't hack it every single,
every single day
every single day
I love the human race
I can't hack it
every day

Bridge
No Not everyday
I love the human race
but, I can't hack it every single
day

End:::
But you can put the blame
put it on me

put the blame
put it on me

you can put the blame
put it on me

That's what I'm here for

I have to say that i like your voice on this version..its more clearer....the song is brilliant!..you did a good job here flyer...xxxxxx...xxxxx rated..xxxx

good job on the vocals, flyer.  listening to the old version, I immediately like the song, despite the quality and sound in it.  I had been doing some noise removal on it for you, but then i see you posted this one... Much better!

I liked the double vocals on the old one though, I must admit.  Having the second one that compliments the first was good during certain spots.

That being said, I still like this one a lot.  Like PC said (in her more concise way that TLS ever says anything!), your vocals are much clearer in this one.

I think turning down the click noise that helps keep time was a good idea.  I think you got it's volume perfect in this mix.

rated!

Pagans------Thank You Pagans for your kind comment

TLS----- Thanks. I appreciate it that you were going to take the time to work on the mix for me. I was going to leave the second set of vocals on this but decided not to. What I want to do is add some lead Acoustic Guitar to this. Sorta in the background not overpowering. So, I might add a second set of vocals to that one

Thanks again

Flyer

Only just found this one - I always love your lyrics.  Wish I had such an ability to write them so (seemingly) easily.  Also loving the way the guitar sounds here too.  Combined with your voice it really creates a great atmosphere that fits the lyrics nicely.

Thanks for the comment, Kobeshi. I'm really pleased that you like the song.

Haven't heard the original but this sounds pretty good.

I really like the lyrics. Lyrics tell a lot about a song / songwriter and these tell me only good things .

I'd like to see the chorus change it up a little more maybe because it seems to keep the same kind of melody / guitar part as the verse and it's only the lyrics which show me that it's a chorus because they're repeated?

good job anyway.

Thanks Peter...Its funny..but I have to try to remember it all right now...If Im right I think the chords are bassically the same at the break...but in different order...Im late and I have to run out right now..Ill try to give this more attention to answer to your question later today...thanks for listening buddy


Flyer

Peter,
if you have any ideas about making some changes to the song...so there is more of a break in the chords for the bridge ect...let me know...I'm always open to sugesstions...but, Basicallt, as I said earlier. The chords are very simular in the verses and bridge...just in different order...

Intro...G-Bm-Am-D 1x
Verse  G-Bm 2x   Bm-Am 2x   D
Chorus Bm-G 2x   G-Am-C-Bm-G-Am-C-D
Bridge Bm-C-Am-Bm-G-Am-C-D
