Title: Life goes a little faster w/Redler
Post by: thetworegs on June 08, 2017, 03:16:55 PM
I heard Kari's beautiful backer https://songcrafters.org/community/index.php?topic=26954.msg325008;topicseen#new and these words came to mind came to mind. Thanks Kari  ;D
As we travel down this highway
not quite knowing where we go
We dare not look behind us
cause were scared of what we have to let go
the days get shorter
and the sun it shows, no quarter
Another year is over
and life gets a little shorter

we watch our children grow
getting older by the day
as they change into adults
we realise we have no say

Life goes faster
Each year that goes
they pass a little faster
as everyone truly knows

we say goodbye to our loved ones
as they get older and fade
They live in our yesterday
where everything was better when we weren't so afraid
as the years go on, the young and old become one
There is no difference
we are all one

When we were younger
You thought the old didn't have clue
but as those years passed you realise that they are just like you
We're all one
If only we could know that when we were young
We're all one
We're all one

Life goes faster
Each year that goes
they pass a little faster
as everyone truly knows

That's a nice surprise when having my morning coffee! Thanks Trev!

Touching lyric and so well sung as always! I just need to master my guitar track.

Excellent work!

Here's the new mix. I recorded TJ cellos on the instrumental spots and dropped the song onto BR-80 and used Acoustic mastering effect.

Thanks again Trevor!

Ah, I love this! It`s unbelievable that you made words just like I had in my mind Trev! I told to Kari that words should tell about how hard it is when you get older and you must give up many things you don´t want to and world is changing and maybe you don´t like that either. Great lyrics and so touching performance.

Well done to both of you. Trev those words are quite haunting. Great piece of acoustic guitar Kari. Flawless and very powerful!

I love your version of Kari's song Trevor! I've been holding off listening because I wanted to do a vocal to it also but it's taken me longer than expected...better late than never, lol. Your lyric are very retrospective, introspective and prospective. I like the emotional aspect of your melody and singing. A fine song fellas!

I've loved Kari's music and style for a long time. This one puts me in a good mood. Lovely playing Kari! Trevor's excellent words and vocal really brings it to life and expands upon the good vibes of the song. A complete package gentlemen, bravo!

I missed this the first time around, too - glad it got bumped! Fantastic backing from Kari (I'm a sucker for pastoral acoustic guitars with cello), and an excellent lyric and vocal delivery from Reg. And these different elements blend together very well here...great collab!

Contemplative and thoughtful lyrics and another beautiful backer from Kari. Really lovely guys, the softer side of songcrafters! Both of you can belt 'em out when you want to as well, you are definitely both pros.

Good bump.. it looks like a lot of us missed this the first time around.

That guitar is gorgeous.. almost understated. And that vocal performance is very emotive. I'm really happy that this one has gotten some more attention.
