This song is about watching someone you care so much about slip slowly away and all your thoughts and feelings.

I wrote this song when I was 15 and I found it hard to express how I felt. I'd only just started playing guitar so the chord sequence is quite basic, but over the last 4 years it's gone through various revisions and includes a beautiful piano accompniment by my friend Matthew Gidman.

i really like this one!  it's a really easy listening!

even though it's a simple set of chords, i think it's just right.  too much would kill the mood i think.  did i mention that i like this one?  b/c i do.  i'm not usually into the whole lyrical rhyming thing b/c there's lots of people that can't make it sound really nice, but i hardly even notice the rhyming in this.  very well executed.

could you post the lyrics on this thread?

Leave the worries of the day behind
Forget the answers that we need to find
Leave the questions locked inside your mind
Stop your dreaming head from straying

I knew there'd never be an easy way
The consequences of your final day
So I'll tell you what I need to say
There's no more need for praying

So can this be all thats left?
The turning point of your last breath?

Death defiance and your will to live
Breath reliance slowly starts to give
Paranoia over what you did
Your hand slipsaway from mine

Broken down into words and cries
Still and subtle nature slowly lies
What's the point when every body dies?
There's never enough time?

So can this be all thats left?
The turning point of your last breath?
So can this be all thats left?
The turning point of your last breath?

Thoughtless answers, questions no-one asked
As we sit and cry the moment's passed
And we know the future'll never last
We've broken out the day

Let me wonder, let me slowly fade
The rain is drenching my parade
The war was lost because the knot was frayed
We're all the hunter's pray

So can this be all thats left?
The turning point of your last breath?
So can this be all thats left?
The turning point of your last breath?

i like your way with words, CGBMike.  keep it up, man.

Thanks a lot for everything All of your reviews have been extremely kind.

Means a lot

Really nice, i think maybe bring in the piano a little earlier, it really fills the sound out nice... Keep it up

i was just browsing back through and found this song again... i bumped up my rating on it  wanna hear some more from you!

It's a great song really, but I find the subject matter a little dark to listen to frequently.

Beautiful song. Great work on the lyrics, and the recording quality is also good. Guitar is basic, but is a nice chord progression.

Beautiful,love the lyrics

I really like your song...It needs a little more trebble, but the whole song is very good 

May it not be your last breathe.

very atmospheric. The melodi, the sound and your voice are all very good. Don't feel locked or obligated to the same melodi though. These is plenty of space for you to improvise in ballads.

reminds me of one of my early songs. nice and simple, love the vocals. feels like the chorus should kick in a little earlyer though - feels like the B minor should change to a D for a sorta uplifting effect... but i really like what you've done. catchy. Love the piano!

A beautiful song. I think a producer could do something quite special with this infact - a bit of variation on the vocals and maybe some strings in there. Great stuff man - you have written a very good acoustic ballad there. Yes it's a dark song - but I love and always will love the ability of music to convey life warts and all.
