Description

This is a song developed from my acca "Psycho". Music was created by a talented artist by the name of Mirco or MIR on icompositions.

Let's face it. Break ups suck! There is no easy way to climb out of them. You just need to feel the emotions and move on. This is me expressing my pain. My "EX BOYFRIEND" never really appreciated my creative expression. He didn't get me in that sense. Regardless, my voice and ways of expression was something that has never been associated with him. For that I am thankful.

I hope everyone enjoys.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
-Linda

p.s. artwork is me!

Lyrics

But you let it set
But you let it set

I bet that you're uneasy right now
Did your world turn upside down?
Cuz' my world did too
Did you notice?
Cuz my world did too
Did you care? no

Your absence made my heart grow furious
You could never be there for me when I needed you
I'm engraged with envy

Attempts to morph into someone else
This suns gonna set soon
Your absence makes my days much longer
Reviewing memories only gets me so far
Somehow I'm left empty handed
I didn't wanna let the sun to set boy

but you let it set
but you let it set
but you let it set

You made our sun set
You made our sun set
and you left me for dead

Wow, I'm feeling this.
This song is giving me a psycho-physical reaction that I'm having a hard time defining. It's like you're seductively pulling me in close by the collar before driving a Bruce Lee one-inch-punch into my sternum. This thing is intense! But it's not intense in the same sense that I usually think of music as intense like heavy metal or baroque fugues. I really don't know what's going on from an instrumental standpoint You say yoou just use GB for the music and don't know how to play any instruments, but I have no idea how to get GB loops to sound anything like this.

You are modest about your vocal skills, but your voice here really demonstrates great control, power, and maturity. It doesn't waver. It pulls back and pushes forward in very unusual ways but always sounds in control. And all of the harmonies and different kinds of vocal track layering you do sound really cool. The mix is perfect on my speakers. And the words ... damn, I've been on the receiving end of that before.

You really make the listener your bitch with this song.

	Whoops. I'm a moron. I just read where you got the music. So you didn't make the music yourself; it still sounds just as intense. It just means you're slightly less talented. :-) Check out my latest song called Celeste

thank you!
haha yeah MIRCO is a very talented guy. I'm quite impressed with how he put together this song based on my simple accapella. Thank you very much for your feedback. I'm sure a lot of people know how i feel when it comes to this crap. Breaks up. *SIGH*!!!!

Maybe i am modest about my voice but...it something that I need to be in the mood to do. I find that when i'm singing in my car my voice sounds horrible!! ugh!!! Ok i'm rambling.

THANK YOU !! :-)

when i
decide to do some downtempo, seductive r rated music, you will be the first to listen.
your vocal layering is outstanding. the music is standard fare, but what makes it work is the different levels you sing onto it... smooth, with a hint of anger in the mix.
i like the way you balance the two distinct emotions..
being a vocalist more than anything else, i am really impressed with your control.

	Thank you! vocal layering and harmonizing are my favorite things to do. I am always harmonizing to the radio. It's kind of like a part-time job. OH yes. I would love to hear the future music you create. I was very impressed by your first song. soooo legit. I appreciate the feedback, kind words and support.

	on another note you are much better off without him... anyone in a relationship with a non supportive person......walk away revealing this intimate part of your life is touching and brave, thank you.

What an impressive song....
This song is first class!!

It reminds me of a Phil Collins' style but with less emphasis on his type of percussion and of course a female voice.

It's one of those few songs that I've heard on MJ's that I woud remember for any length of time after the first listen. I must ipod-it.

The subject matter of the words remains mainly uncommented by me as I know all too well what you mean, replacing the 'boy' with a 'girl'.

Take care.

Paul.

thank you!
i am so flattered you have ipod'ed my song!!! What a huge compliment my friend.

A lot of heart and soul went into this piece. MIR (the track creator) really created a wonderful track. Adding more lyrics to this piece was not too difficult!!!!

I have noticed that you've taken time to listen to my songs and comment. I really appreciate that Paul. So..well..thank you :-)

	creamy & dreamy that was very well done. excellent arrangement with good build, and nicely varied textures vocally from breathy ooooo's to kittenish - aren't you sorry to enraged fury. beautiful vocal curl ups. "MY' world and "EN" raged - were sung so well - couldn't be better. sounds like your loss is our gain. sweet offering - anne

	Thank you! it's nice to get some feedback coming from other singers. I have heard your music and i was very impressed!!! I really appreciate you noticing the difference in which i sing throughout various parts of the song. Maybe my voice gives me away more than I thought. Or maybe only to skilled listeners such as yourself. Thank you Sis :-) Check out my latest song called Hopes and Dreams

Subtlety
Nicely done Linda - full of subtle changes that keep it interesting. MIRCO has done a great job with the music bed, but this totally belongs to your quite amazing voice, which you use so adeptly. If Anne C thinks it's good, it must be! Great post! Last second nit - would like slightly longer on the fade (maybe just a second).

	gracias friend! Thank you so much for the feedback. I do agree with you on maybe some extra length at the end. Mirco and I make a good team. I like his style. I am proud of my vocal performance probably because when I sang it i was so emotional!!! Nice to see it comes through! Woo! Check out my latest song called Hopes and Dreams

Seductive
I like the soundscape on this, which acts as a great backdrop for your voice Linda. You have a really original voice - there are some words you sing that sound only like you - its sweet and powerful and original, which is rare in these days.

Love the 'morph' line - I like how you come across with a mix of sadness, anger and positivity.

Great to have somehting from you soo soon after the last one!

awwww
I'm so happy that you like the way i sing. It really makes me feel special when you said that no one can sing like me. That's how I feel about my idol Tori Amos. When she sings....she has her own unique way. When i first started singing I thought my voice was bad b/c it wasn't like anyone elses...your comment encourages me to think differently. Thank you!!! *tear* :-)

HA!
Seriously though...and I mean *seriously*:

Look in the mirror and tell yourself every morning of every day, "I am a singer, and I.....(enjoy sharing this talent with others)" ....or whatever it is you want to do as a singer.

I guarantee it will change your perspective on your voice (and probably others' too!) :)

If you've...
...ever heard any of the things I have posted at MacJams, you'd understand why THIS song is way outside my competency area. But I do know this: this is an extremely well-crafted piece of music and very beautifully and expressively performed vocally. Congratulations on such a wonderful production. I could never do this and admire your skill and musicianship at pulling it off so expertly.
Peace.
