Lyrics

Get on your knees boy
It will all be over soon
If you get scared just look into the sky
Our sky
Eclipsing the moon

Sugar and spice and everything nice
That's what good girls are made of

She'll never love you like I will
So wipe those tears of your face

She'll never love you like I will

Things happen for a reason
Time to embrace our fate

Don't you leave me boy
Don't you leave me boy (blah blah blah)
Please believe me boy
You belong to me.

	Spooky Good This is a well produced track. i listened to it through headphones and all the levels sounded great, the instruments are placed well and the vocals are really good. You have a very nice voice and it definitely complimented the spooky vibe. Well done!

WOW
Welcome Linda. Great song. Sounds hot and seductive. Where you in the closet on this one? I love your voice. This track is nice and dark and reminds me a little of PJ Harvey. Major Plus.

Great phrasing and harmonies. There's one part in the song where you hit the high notes that has a cool Egyptian/ Eastern feel.

The only thing i wasn't to fond of was the spoken word part. I think if you sang that in a nursery rhyme type fashion it might be more effective. Although it was kind of cool hearing your speaking voice i think this could help the song immensly.

Sounds like voice lessons are paying off.

You have a very SeXXXy voice.

	Pretty Doddster made a wonderful track, and I think your addition makes it even greater. Very nice vocal harmonies. But I also agree with Dr B on the spoken part. Bring it up a bit in the mix, and this will just be perfect. Hey, welcome to MJ. I hope you stay with us for a long time... Walter Check out my latest song called boundaries

Cool track
Welcome. Love the eastern qualities in the music and excellent singing.
Good mix with the agreement to the small niggle already
mentioned above.

I took it apon myself to figure out the songs theme and best I could come
up with was: the eastern spicey goody two-shoes woman is no match
for the apocalyptic one - hell hath no fury ..and we open with
execution of afore-mentioned spice girl: but I'm no good at this.

Dandy.

	haha It seems we all get lost when we try to figure out eachother's songs. For this song, picture some psycho ex-g/f having an uninhibited moment with the boy she's still in love with. That's the vibe I got while creating it :-) Check out my latest song called Hopes and Dreams

Slick!
Welcome to MJ Linda - you don't just sneak in and stay low do you : )
Shades of Grace Slick as well as more recent influences - excellent
track. Spoken part definitely needs to be lifted a little. You have a
great voice, but I especially like your slightly out there sense for
harmony. Doddster's backing track works really well. Radio ready,
genre crossing and plain excellent! What a voice!

	Super nice vox on this! Very enjoyable tune, but the vocals caught my attention the most - strong, confident and right on target. Great job, thanks for sharing! . - Harold

	thank you! it's always nice to hear that my voice draws people in. For a while people believed that I had a hard time emoting. It's still something I'm working on and I thank you for taking the time to give me some reassurance that I can do it! Check out my latest song called Hopes and Dreams

One comment deserves another ....
Another way to meet new people on here ... have a listen to a tune or two of everyone's who comments on one of your songs .. hey I like the fact that I found someone that essentially did on this tune what I do on ALL of mine .... create lyrics .. melody and sing all over someone else's instrumental ! You did a great job ... it isn't always as easy as it looks to interpret someone elses music and add your own personal touch to it .... I especially like the multiple vocal layerings and harmonies on this one. the lyrics are GREAT ... nothing like a good old fashioned ex gf stalker to make the hairs on all the guys necks stand out ! hahahahaha Keep the tunes coming .. I look forward to hearing more.

thanks!
Texas, thank you very much. I saw you on icomp a while back and was
impressed w/ your work as well. On an honest note, I don't touch production all
that much. It's a process that I don't really enjoy. I LOVE layering and
harmonizing my vocals tho! So....it required a nice partnership for whom ever i
collab with.

Thanks for taking the time to comment.

	Elastic... I can imagine it was fun to sing this song. Getting into that particular middle east vibe. "Don't you leave me boy..." sounds more like a threat than a plea. Way to get deep into this. Check out my latest song called Mighty Cracker Fly

	very cool I like the feel of the song and your darker intentions with it. As someone else said, I also didnt care for the spoken word the way it was done. In keeping with your theme I'd like it better if you had made the spoken area eerier. But a great job overall. Check out my latest song called no sanctuary
