No Longer

[Trist]

Hi uploaded a track  No Longer I Dream not sure if uploaded right or not says attach,, it wont be to everyone's taste and had to reduce quality but were see how it sounds huh! Cheers

The angels don't cry anymore
an heavens closed its doors
an I'm falling apart at the seams
No longer shall I dream

Now there's no stars in the sky
only questions why
why does everybody leave ?
No longer shall I dream

Now I'm standing here alone
I cant believe that you're gone
an I'm so tired but I cant sleep
no longer shall i dream

Now i wish the hands of time
would pull you back into these arms of mine
but time leaves us to grieve
no longer shall I dream

Now I'm standing here alone
an i still cant believe that you're gone
and I'm falling apart at the seams
No longer shall i dream

I wish the lightning would ignite the sky
and god would let out a cry
and tell all the angels to weep
for no longer shall i dream
an I'm missing you every day
oh take me to heavens gate
for I'm falling apart at the seams
an no longer shall i dream
so tell all the angels to weep
for no longer shall i dream
no longer shall i  dream
no longer shall i, shall i dream

Now the angels don't cry anymore
and heavens closed it's doors
an forevermore I will grieve
for no longer shall I dream

That voice! Are you by any chance related to Leonard Cohen? Or perhaps him in disguise? The close sung vocals sound great and they sit SO comfortable in the mix that they're a real joy to hear.

I like the different dynamics and the vibe of the vocals a lot. The way the arrangement builds and the way you're drawing the vocals deeper into the mix in the choruses and putting them back to the foreground in the verses. Musically the synth sounds dominate the mix and while the drums are big they're pushed further back which is a great thing to do for a song like this.

Very enjoyable and well done song!

You're too good to be a Jr. Member in Songcrafters. Do post more songs thank you!

quite incredible.  Mr. David Gilmour sings like this quite a bit (not that you sound so much like David but that style)...
yes, the music is the lovely backdrop to place these smooth vocals... I think I just got another lesson..
would be great if you could post the lyrics too at some point!  It helps me understand the song better when I can read them.. but I can get most of them...

That is a great song, Trist. Excellent lyrics and great vocal. Got any more?

[Ted]

A beautiful and heartbreaking song. My only comment is that the orchestral pad is a bit overbearing. I'd recommend using it more subtly (or not at all) during the softly-sung verses, and a light layer in the choruses, and then full-on for the big emotional climax of the song. It's kind of what you did, but where you have it soft, I'd go even softer; where you have it big, I'd go even bigger.

FYI: Inserting the attachment is not necessary unless you upload an additional MP3 to the post. (The first MP3 that you upload automatically gets attached and is used in the player.)

Excellent vocal/lyric are you sure your not Leonard ? Waiting patiently for the next one

[Farrell Jackson]

A very sad song but it's done so well. The lyric and vocals go hand in hand for the style. I like it!

I have heard this a number of times... really enjoying the drums too on this but the effects on various things is that saturation kind of sound that I hear now?  It is quite a nice song and nice sounds...your vocals are the major star here though
