Title: Ifs Buts And Maybes (LITLR) - AndyR Original
Post by: AndyR on February 09, 2022, 02:02:19 PM
Another Songwriting Demo for FAWM 2022

Here we go again... Song number 4.
I didn't think there was anything left in the tank, but here we are.
Ready for a lie-down now!

Ifs Buts And Maybes
Words & Music AndyR
--------------------------------
Yes it was me
Maybe I couldn't see
How you loved me
Maybe it's late
To discover how much
You cared
If there was time
If we live it again
Maybe I would know 
Before you go
Maybe finally we could be

Ifs buts and maybes
May be how
We survived it
But ifs buts and maybes
They don't count
Anymore
Ifs buts and maybes
May be the way
That we lived it
But ifs buts and maybes
They don't count

What if I tried
To remember the time
That you kissed me
What if I find
That the line in the sand
Is not there
Now that I fade
Where your memory played
And I miss you so
Try as I might
Nothing will lead me there

If I could count
The ways that it could be
I'd fly like a bird
But ifs buts and maybes
They don't count
Anymore
No they don't count

Ifs buts and maybes
May be how
We survived it
But ifs buts and maybes
They don't count
Anymore
Ifs buts and maybes
May be the way
That we lived it
But ifs buts and maybes
They don't count

Brilliant.  I shall listen again in the morning and,  hopefully,  be a little more erudite.

Love that guitar intro...It's so believable and I like the sound of it...the pride of it.
Interesting singing lines on this too... after spending many hours the past 2 days trying to do something like this (as in the recording with an acoustic guitar and me singing) I realize it really isn't that easy...in fact for me it's darn near impossible.  I did get alot of good laughs out of it though and found many lines for the song I am trying to write....lol...
I guess you are inspiring here?  yep... another real good song Andy.  Like the little oohs at the end too

Bravo, Andy on your live timing and mic placement! You've captured your vocal and acoustic guitar so well. The acoustic is very full sounding and doesn't step on the vocal at all and visa versa. I like how you've incorporated the quick and smooth falsetto into some of your vocal lines. Keep them coming!
