Pretty White Lies

Dear friends,
Well when the spirit moves, it moves and I’m so happy to introduce yet another song this week. This one I have called, Pretty White Lies, a powerful and emotional ballad.
In fact I actually got all mushy producing this one and cried tears of joy in having felt I had really succeeded in producing something deep and real. This will go down as one of my better works.

Please share it if you like it too :)

Thank you so much for you time.

Oh come on darling
come sit right down
come by my side I know you hunger
for the love we need
like the air we breath
let’s make a lil time for each other

but here comes that that pain again
I’m cryin and I don’t know when
but you stopped loving me
closed your eyes so you couldn’t see
with careful words you’ve bled to me
those pretty white lies

I didn’t let it show
but this hurt you gotta know
burns a fire deep inside me
This guy who’s come along
does he sing you another song
does he lie you down and hold your hand
smile like me, does he understand.

But here comes that that pain again
I’m cryin and I don’t know when
you stopped loving me
closed your eyes so you wouldn’t see
with careful words you bled to me
those pretty white lies

Here comes that that pain again
I’m cryin and I don’t know when
you stopped loving me
closed your eyes so you wouldn’t see
with careful words you bled to me
those pretty white…

Lies…
Lies,
pretty white lies (repeat)

The new album

Well I have been plugging away the last few months really thinking forward about the musical direction for the next release. Whether or not it will be a hard copy CD or just available for download I’m not sure but however I go about it I want these tracks to stand out.
The track I’m working on here is called, “All these words”. so far it’s a fairly deep mix in that there is a lot going on. At this stage I work with midi instruments like drums, horns, sax etc until I get the arrangements in, then I’ll be looking for real players.
I’ll keep things posted.

For the technical I run pro tools 7.4 on OSX, really looking forward to Pro tools 8!
