Never Got To Say Goodbye by Farrell Jackson/Redler/Ella

[Redler]

Hello!

Here's another take of my "New Ballad" backer.

Farrell wrote the lyric and sang this on Friday and suggested that Päivi (Ella) would sing some harmonies on it. So, here we go...

Thanks a lot Farrell and Päivi!

Never Got To Say Goodbye

V1

I never really got to say goodbye
Didn't get to see you one last time.....
I feel so helpless, so empty inside
Now I know...these two eyes can cry

Chorus

Time might heal but I will miss you still

V2

I will always wonder what might have been
But I will have to wait...to see you again....
Not knowing what I might have known
Has left a void.... where light once shone

Chorus

Time might heal but I will miss you still

(Cello)

I'll shed my tears, for many years
Yes time will heal, but I will miss you still
There's a void.... where once was joy

Repeat V1

I never really got to say goodbye
Didn't get to see you one last time
I feel so helpless, so empty inside
Now I know...these two eyes can cry

What a lovely song -
Sad yes rings a bell with me--
I love the sparseness of the backer -it carries the feeling of loneliness right through the song  -
Great col-lab gang



Top class

This is so beuitiful ,the main vocal from Farrel almost sounds like something Paul Mcartney would do.
And the backing vocals are lovely as well.
The icing on the cake is of course the sweet music from Kari.
A lovely Collab.
Nice to see some more collabs coming in now.
Well done Kari for rolling that song into the site mate.
Keep them coming

A great song guys, this is so professionally done and finely crafted.

Love the harmonies... beautiful stuff.

This came out beautifully Kari! Your guitar playing is very professional. Ella's backing vocals fit in perfectly. Thanks for letting me be part of this song collaboration!

Thanks for commenting my friends!

Here's the new mix. I removed the humming voice of Päivi and doubled her voice on the choruses.
I attached the Mikseri-player with the advice by 64Guitars.

Edit: the player didn't work either on Flash or HMTL5-mode on my PC.
