Title: Dont let go of us by Kenneth and kenny mac.
Post by: kenny mac on April 18, 2021, 04:21:09 PM
   

Daylight breaks,the sun

Swallows up the shadows

And im back to were i was

And I cant find the words

To make a bit of difference 

In this war that we are  in


Time moves on 

Is there nothing to believe in?

It feels so strange and lost

Suddenly it seems

We are at the end here

But look at what it cost


Dont let go of us

Im drowning in the fear here

Dont let  go of us

Dont let go of us

Im getting on my knees 

here

Dont let go of us.


And i cant find the keys

To open any doors here

Cant we  move along?

And I dont feel the same 

Im backed into a corner

We both sing a different song


Dont let go of us

Im getting on my knees here

Dont give up on us

Dont give up on us

Im drowning in the fear here

Dont let  go of us

Dont let go of us

Im begging darling please yeh

Dont let go of us

Dont let go of us

Im drowning in the fear here

Dont let go of us.

This is a nice collab. Kind of a Tom Petty feel on the verse. chugga chugga - Cool piece of work!

wow we....this is a pop rock smash hit right here.... a love song of epic proportion....

you guys do so great together....love everything about this....the singing is inspired.... can really feel the emotion.... it's hard to imagine that you haven't actually experienced this what you are singing about KM....   it sounds too personal...to real...but that is what artists can do....make you feel it...

I feel like the SC playlist makes a really good radio station and this would be a number 1 hit...big stuff lads....

just listened again...reminds alot of a really great band....U2 although the theme isn't one they would write about I don't think...but then again I haven't heard many of their albums...what I am trying to say is this sounds great...really great

This is another massive anthem. The way the backer builds into the "don't let go" section is superb, some wonderful sounds in there, and the echoey guitar adds a nice additional layer. I like the contracts between the quieter lyrical sections and that massive chorus. It all fits together beautifully, Kenny did a great job here over a superb backer.

Great work guys, well done!

Yes - I love it. "Drowning in my fear here", that was very cool my favorite part. And you make excellent music KennethDman, a perpetual inspirer of awesomeness!!

Thanks Kenny, appreciate your ability to take a simple backer and turn it into a cool tune!
So many great people to work with here, too much fun!

Massive sound with the intimate vocal on the verse which I really enjoyed, then up tempo uplifting chorus, well done guys, a great  tune!

You can both deliver stadium anthems individually, so it's no surprise that your collabs are huge, soaring epics. Love those angelic choirs (that are becoming a Kenneth trademark) and how they merge with and enhance the driving guitars. Can hear echoes of Simple Minds on Kenny's contributions. Massive and wholesome stuff!

Great song, guys and that chorus just lifts the whole track so well. Same as Tim says - I can hear a Simple Minds vibe. Excellent production and great vocals.

Yes it's the song that Simple Minds would love to have written. On a second listen... it creeps up nice a gently and goes wallop on that chorus that really is infectious. Those delicate guitar patterns are delicious. Love it.

Excellent collaboration guys. I hear a bit of simple minds or u2 aswell. Sounds really great, the music is very catchy, great chorus. Love your vocals.  Darren

Excellent!  Agree with comments of simple minds or u2 feel!   If someone else was playing this in the next room I would have said "great song, what radio station are you listening to?".  Love how the vocal is very calm in the verses and gets stronger in the chorus.  Very effective.  Nice job all around on the instrumentation and production too!
