Lyrics

Again, I'm left wondering what could have been

And I found a reason for the reason she

Would never leave the door unlocked

And never leave the TV on

When I leave I will pass her in the doorway

When I leave I will pass her on my way

She said something with the way she bit her lip

And I stood and thought about it for too long

I must have missed her final word

It's getting late, I'm getting burned

When I leave I will pass her in the doorway

When I leave I will pass her on my way

And this is everything I've been dreaming of

It felt so right and I got it all wrong

And this is everything I've been waiting for

But I guess it's time I wait a little more

A smile breaking record time and smashing mine

The dark cannot clear the air or clear this floor

I'm left inside, the spotlight on

I cannot see beyond my outstretched arm

When I leave I will pass her in the doorway

When I leave I will pass her on my way

very tasteful
I've always been one of your fans, Nolan. Your songs
always please the ear, and your productions are of
consistently high quality.

This collaboration is excellent. Miss Chaos, your additions
to this song are very tastefully done. Your contribution is
tastefully subtle, enhancing the essential flavor of Nolan's
lyrics, vocals and guitar. The result is a cohesive, well-
integrated, seamless whole.

It is fascinating to hear various kinds of collabs here on
MacJams. Some bring very different elements together,
while others combine more similar material, as though
speaking with one voice. This collab is the latter, and
works very, very well.

Great job, both of you!

	Great Song! Only thing I can think of is that sometimes the strings seemed a little too buried in the mix. Other times seems perfect. Beautiful though. I enjoyed this song. Thanks. 8898

Radio ready
Amazing combination of two amazing talents. Reminds
me of some of the extra texture that Mark Isham brought
to Suzanne Vega's first album. Sure they were all
incredibly strong songs to begin with, but in some way I
just about can't imagine any of those songs he worked on
w/o him. Very tasteful arrangement. I take it those are
some of those nice Korg Karma sounds. Yumm. Fav'ed
and downloaded.

	Haunting This ballad is hauntingly beautiful. It is so heartfelt it almost aches and makes me cry. The guitar and the background pad music is angelic, very soothing, both sad and heavenly. This is a collaboration of musical genius and makes me so envious. Check out my latest song called The Nightingale (music and lyrics by Oceans)

	"She said something with the way she bit her lip." Nice word pictures in this song. Love the nervousness and tense mood you have created in this song. This is a great collab. Congrats to both of you finding each other and not passing each other in MJs doorway. Check out my latest song called Dance under the Clocktower

	One of the best in the genre on this site! I feel a little like your lead vocals could be a little more up front. I feel like the guitar is "in front" of it a bit. The strings and other instrumentation is great! Check out my latest song called Pearls of Perfection

Bit of compression?
The vocals occasionally have unexpected spikes. Bit of
compression wanted? Somewhere halfway the strings
come up to a level where they are actually part of the
arrangmenet. Before that it sounds like you're recording a
vocal-plus-guitar track, and, oh yes, let's add a couple of
instruments.

Like the mood of the song, though. Just not the
arrangement.

Could have sworn I'd already commented and voted on this
Maybe this is a different version? Anyway, I love this
song. Absolutely wonderful. Great writing, singing/
playing, and it's so masterfully mastered. Just sounds
great.

I see this is the one I marked as a favorite. Something
must have distracted me before I got to comment and
vote. Sorrt about that. Glad I came by to take another
listen and found my lack of comment.

Wonderful collaboration resulting in a superb song and
mix.
