Something personal I wrote to help me through something else. I know it's about a minute longer than is probably necessary, but this is not something I'd go back to perfect. Just wanted to share the song for what it is. 


As you say, this is all at will.
Whatever word or vision,
This is my time to fill.

Yet so often now, before we begin
I have already let you down.
I speak but so much will not let go.
My small dreams and smaller beliefs
Soon run out.

And just as I was set to say
Your memory of me brought relief,
You obliterate this saving sight
As you say it's okay I leave...
Why leave?

For the years we've known
The face and the name,
I knew then – I'm convinced,
You will never know me.
Rejection I stitched from the phase.
You have nothing more to my need.

T.C. Elliott

You've nailed that style of soaring vocals over a rhythmic piano. I like that it's a real piano and not some keyboard sound and I like the emotion in your singing.

Because the Hook brings you back
I ain't tellin' you no lie
The hook brings you back
On that you can rely

So sorry it took me so long to respond (out of town for some time). I'm very appreciative you guys could take a listen and give feedback from it. Thank you.

Very dramatic and passionate song and performance, and those descending chords create the mood perfectly for the delivery of those lyrics.

The vocal is wonderful, kind of fragile, but full of power at the same time.

The more I hear your songs the more I am impressed.
