Original Songs / Never Stop Loving You
Last post by des0free - Yesterday at 11:21:35 PM
This is a total redo of a song previously called "Made up my mind", with changed instrumentation, increased tempo, more natural singing, and added backing vocals (inspired by what StephenM does). I used my new Fender Acoustasonic Player Tele (open box discount score) for all the guitar parts, Fender Mustang Bass, and Black-Friday-Deal Steven Slate Drums (pure 60s preset). Mic is AT4040. Recorded with Tascam US-2x2HR to Reaper.

Never Stop Loving You - by des0free
Lyrics (and chords, capo on 3rd fret):

Verse 1
C                      G
We've been together for quite a long time
F                      G
Living in the present, thinking we were fine
C                G
I like cars, and you like wine
F                        G
Thought we'd be together for all time
    C                        G
But we've been having trouble for quite some time
...F              G              G---
As years pass by, we see the signs

Chorus 1 (play twice)
C                  G
What am I gonna do if I stop loving you
F              G                  Am                G
...I just don't know, I just don't know, I just don't know

Verse 2
C                                  G   
Should we stay together, try to make it better
F              G   
...Not throw it away...
C                          G
You can drive my cars, and I'll drink your wine,
F                      G    G--- 
...I think I made up my mind

Chorus 2 (play twice)
C                    G
What I'm gonna do is never stop loving you
F              G                  Am                G
...I made up my mind, I made up my mind, I made up my mind

Verse 3
C                      G   
Looking back at life, I think we got it right
F              G   
...Most of the time...
C                              G
You'll always be mine, Till the end of time
F              G  G---   
...I'm a lucky guy...

Chorus (repeat and fade):
C                    G
What I'm gonna do is never stop loving you
F              G                  Am                G
...I made up my mind, I made up my mind, I made up my mind

Guitar riffage is really cool, and the confident headliner lead vocal!  You 100% achieved your own unique and special style here. The one thing I connect it to is Peter Gabriel's vocals and Steve Hackett's guitars in early Genesis. Congrats on a great composition! Your production skills (and drum programming) are getting super honed now too!

Back for a second listen and to comment... Super nice backing track on this. Lyrics sound like a movie storyline. My favorite line: "He sits with his comforting beer", uh no, I mean "Jumps in his car and heads down south to the white girl in white". Hollywood ending!

Great song - really pro level! I like how you created a dynamic jump at the start. Guitars sound great - just pedals, or also a "cab sim"? The keys parts add a lot here! Some nice hooks in the vocals that draw my ear. Backing vocals are very effective. The all-around package here. I've been meaning to download a collection of BP songs to put on my phone. This one will definitely be included. Rock on!

Great backing track and creative use of lyrics. Deep, Gritty voice is perfect for this!  Piano part is really cool - that's pretty impressive playing!
