Was given the prompt "the truth be told" and did a quick tune. First time I've recorded my Williams electric piano (with weighted keys.) Also, I don't play the piano (although I did have a year or so worth of lessons when I was 9 or so years old.) This isn't very inventive, but I'm not unhappy with it, I think.

Truth be told I don't understand
Who was at fault when the trouble began
I fell in love with you
So in love with you
But they said you would break my heart
End it all before it could start
Won't you tell me why you left me and ran away?

Truth be told it was in your eyes
But I fell for your disguise
I fell in love with you
So in love with you
Momma warned me about your kind
But I fell for that fool's gold shine
Wno't you tell me why you left me and ran away?

Truth be told I should have known
You'd crush my heart like a broken bone
I fell in love with you
So in love with you
First sing of trouble you became afraid
I should have known you would walk away
Won't you tell me why you left me and ran away?

Yea, that does sound good. You have a great singing voice. I like it, I'll be humming that for a few hours. Very cool.

I like it, very catchy. I can hear it with a rocking bass. Maybe I could sing a bass line to it?

Thanks guys... Hillary, if you wanna add something feel free to send it to me and I'll mix it in. If you do then maybe I'll rerecord parts of the keys and fix the timing issues.

I appreciate the feedback.

Very well done T.C. ! The piano sounds real good and you played it fine. Also it has a great melody and lyric. With the right production this could be a lost Super Tramp song...it's that good.
