Cracks In These Walls

Here's another new one for a listen......waited til after Valentines Day to put this one out there.......

Cracks in These Walls    words & music: Vance Grazio     c2021   

Where were you going, why did you stay?
Losing my grasp as things slip away
I can see, cracks in these walls

Have you a reason, have you lost your mind?
Love can be treason, or one of a kind
Can't you see, cracks in these walls
    
Love's divide
Stubborn pride
We were one
Divided by two

Fire the cannons, sound the alarms
Freewheeling actions are losing their charm
Falling through, cracks in these walls

Caught in between the ebb and the flow
Of you saying yes when I'm saying no
Getting stuck, between cracks in these walls

Crumbling down, all around
Twisted ties on dusty ground

Love's divide
Stubborn pride
We were one
Divided by two

Where were you going, why did you stay?
There may be chances of finding our way
If we fill, cracks in these walls
                         
Before we fall through, cracks in these walls

Great songwriting! Excellent vocals and words. I like the choice of placing the piano off to one side and the harmonica gives it an up beat vibe. Your songwriting style here is reminiscent of Jimmy Webb's style (By The Time I Get To Phoenix etc.) Nicely done!

Top notch song. Love the flowing feel of the verses and the little piano line you added. The harmonica gives it a great country rock feel and the harmonies give me a bit of a Byrds vibe. Great lyrics as well, really adds to the catchiness

[Bluesberry]

Great full on song.....I really like what the harmonica brings to the mix...and that strat sounding guitar sounds lovely....the piano work stitches it all together.....

[IanR]

Great songwriting indeed.

I really like this. It sounds like a lot of Aussie bands from the 1970s and 80s. The Dingoes are a good example.

I love the arrangement. The little musical interludes give it lots of character. I like the interplay between the harmonica and guitar, with the piano providing the glue.

Well done and thanks for sharing.

[Ferryman_1957]

Very nice work indeed. It's a really well written song with great lyrics, the vocals and harmonies are superb. I loved the groove here but I particularly liked the way you handled the piano, those very nice melodic lines off to the right in the mix are really effective and give a great hook. Very nice lead guitar work as well.

Excellent track, very well done. I really enjoyed this.

[Ray Brookes]

Lovely song and very well produced with fantastic harmonies and sweet guitar work. That harmonica is a nice touch and adds a very pleasant vibe to the song.

[Pine]

Good songwriting. Lots of imagery in the lyric. Nice instrumental touches..the flirting piano, the cool harp, and the nice guitar solo. Vocals get the blue ribbon. Well done!
