White Lies
Andy Casson
29th March 2013

Somwbody tell me what went wrong
Someone explain to me what for

And suddenly you turn to go
Left me here and I don't know
Suddenly my world is torn
Your white lies have left me alone

White Lies....

What is left for me to know
You promised love then dropped me cold
I hope you see your seeds have grown
Your whites lies have left me cold

And suddenly you turn to stone
You flash a smile as white as snow
And suddenly you're all I know
You think you're right but you reap what you sow

White Lies....

And suddenly you turn to go
Left me here and I don't know
Suddenly my world is torn
Your white lies have left me alone

Really interesting arrangement. A driving rhythm, but not so much by the drums. Intense and understated. Very compelling.

[Jarle]

Great song. I love the backbeat on the guitar in the verses.

Overall I think it's a great song.  What equipment did you record this song on?  Depending on what you're using, sounds like your drums are on the loud side and vocals aren't too far from it.  A better blend on the mix would be good, if you have the equipment for that.  I have a TASCAM 2488 neo, but since the CD burner went out, I mix on the TASCAM and play the files to an MP3 recorder.  FAR from ideal and would never use this format to "pitch" a song, but it helps keep the ideas to transfer to better equipment later.  Just my opinion.

thanks guys - I really like this one...back to those AC/DC days of the late 70's - been bouncing around like a looney playing the chorus's! Want to try a vid but not got the balls...too old! Will  I have added the recording info for you, I have been mixing on headphones forever to keep the peace in the house (the wife swore she would drown me in 'the River' if she heard it one more time!)
