Description
Song written for someone I couldn't stop thinking about ... messed around with different effects on the vocals, drums and synths. I tried to be a little bit original with the constant motion of most prominent synth over the piano during the verses. It still ended up sounding a little more cliche than I wanted... let me know if you have any ideas for how to make a love song like this more unique as far as orchestration.

Lyrics
Waiting for the phone to ring
I'm trying again, today to pretend
That I'm moving on
I laugh at myself and think
All of the time I was trying to get you off my mind
You were right here in the center of my thoughts

Chorus
I try and I try to forget who you were to me
But the harder I fight the more it occurs to me
Each time I deny the truth of this feeling inside
I find, you on my mind... again

I wish you could see me now
If you looked in my eyes
You'd see you've been on my mind
Though I wont admit

I've made up my mind before
I said I know this time for sure
But I can't pretend anymore

Chorus

Still waiting for the phone to ring
If you looked in my eyes
You'd see you've been on my mind
Though I wont admit
I wonder if you'll ever know
I've wished for the chance
To ask you to dance with me nice and slow
And I'd tell you what's on my mind

Nicely sung.
Hey, we all respond songs of longing and loss. It has the makings of a good pop song. Hire some violinists or ask Luna Trick to add some of his expertise.
There is always room for cello. I thought it was lovely. Thanks.

Hi, Mike!
Always great to hear something from you, and I always check your songs almost immediately. I loved your recent submissions. This one, not so much. I do not like the way this song was arranged musically and vocally. Compared to your performance in The Hero You'll See, which I throughly loved, you put a little too much effects (delays and echo, etc) which were distracting rather than enhancing. This is saccharine and romantic, and for that the lyrical cliches are forgivable. Not your best composition but still a commendable piece. I can see that you are exploring your voice and trying to find new terrain outside of rapping. I'd say you sure have the voice and ballads and pop/rock songs can really showcase your vocal talent.
