Lyrics

You don't make me cry.
No, not anymore.
You smile like a sigh.
You laugh like a closed door.

Start now.

I am here for you,
but you're not any fun.
What do you want to do?
I give you to the count of one.

Start now.

Jim Bouchard	Jim Bouchard said 3604 days ago (February 4th, 2009)
	Lovely simply lovely. There's just so much good about this song, that I feel like all the technical things I could say about how you could change it are just dwarfed by your talent. I had some ideas but maybe I'll just send you a note... :) Check out my latest song called Big Yawn (Apogee One mic demo)

Estella	Estella said 3604 days ago (February 5th, 2009)
	Jim Thank you for saying that. Believe me, I hear every fault times 10, so you saying that the talent has redeeming value, well, it gives me some hope! Thanks for the note! Check out my latest song called Insomnia

mikkinylund	mikkinylund said 3603 days ago (February 5th, 2009)
	Better I like the beginning, thrown right into the song and the story. I did like the previous version a lot, but this is an improvement. You're voice is breath taking. The lyrics are masterfully crafted. I am a big fan of your now. Check out my latest song called Rune XV

echoroom	echoroom said 3601 days ago (February 7th, 2009)
	Poetess! You laugh like a closed door - wonderful! Your voice (and harmonies) sound great, and the song is direct and to the point... I'm tempted to ask you to send me the file just so I can play with it (I can hear strings), but it'd be like 6 months before I would work on it .... Check out my latest song called Light Sleeper

	A fan Very well sung Estella, nicely done, the melody is really beautiful and your second try shows all the potential of this piece... Check out my latest song called Un jour de décembre

	Stripped Down Even More Wow Estellie, That last vocal note is superb! All parts before it it are just as wonderful. It's nice to see how well you preserved the original design of the song. You can play dulcimer in my band (oh, and sing too!) Bob Check out my latest song called Draw

Dj French Toast	Dj French Toast said 3594 days ago (February 14th, 2009)

	Dulcimer Just so you know, I went out and bought a dulcimer to today because of you. I love your voice - it becomes even richer when you harmonize. Ever try a third or even a fourth harmony? Might be fun to experiment with. Fantastic work all around, estellie. Check out my latest song called Vessel

Estella	Estella said 3582 days ago (February 26th, 2009)
	What a compliment! Enjoy that dulcimer! And let me know when you've posted a song with it! I love mine, and I'm glad the sound inspired you. I used to sing in a quartet in high school. I love finding harmonies. I might tap into that part of me, now that you mention it... Thanks for listening! Check out my latest song called Insomnia

Rayelise	Rayelise said 3582 days ago (February 27th, 2009)
	Dulcimer I don't know if I successfully became a fan (I pressed the heart), but I am a fan! The dulcimer sounds great and so does your voice. I like this second version better than the first. The beautiful soprano vocals are really emotionally evocative, and putting it in less is more effective. Check out my latest song called Angel of Montgomery

Estella	Estella said 3581 days ago (February 27th, 2009)
	you did it right! I'm glad you stopped by. I like this version better, too. Check out my latest song called Insomnia

	Great This sounds great - like a mixture of medieval music with modern singer/songwriter. Love it. Check out my latest song called Dubthing

Estella	Estella said 3560 days ago (March 20th, 2009)
	Thanks! Just so you know, I have mixed this more properly, so that it is more pleasant to the ears. That version is here: http://www.myspace.com/estellaramirezmusic Check out my latest song called Insomnia

	nice work I like the simplicity you stuck with on this. Nice performance on the vocals and harmonies too. I like the dulcimer, I need some other stringed instruments beside my guitar. Check out my latest song called Questioning Authority
