Lyrics

Saying goodbye was the hardest thing I’ve done in my life
Saying goodbye was the hardest thing I’ve done in my life

I hope you don’t take it hard
It wasn’t meant to leave a scar
I hope you don’t take it hard

Seeing you walk away
Enjoying the last smile I’d see on your face
Experiencing the distance breaking our faith

Saying goodbye was the hardest thing I’ve done in my life

I hope you don’t take it hard
It wasn’t meant to leave a scar
I hope you don’t take it hard

I could have waited to your grave
But I hope you’re proud that I’m trying to be brave
And I hope you’re proud of the life I’m trying to create

Saying goodbye is the hardest thing I do in my life

It takes years to say
It takes years to say
I don’t mean to complain
But it’s taken years to say
It’s taking years to say!!

And I hope you don’t take it hard

	Saying goodbye Reflective lyrics and emotive delivery with a "back porch" production quality. A good template for a more developed recording. I like it! Check out my latest song called Refuge

Saying Goodbye
Noah, you write some very good, heart-felt songs and perform them with genuine passion but, if I can be permitted to suggest something for you to consider, to me they would come across with a bit more of a consistent focus and more subtle light and shade if you didn't embellish almost every line with some type of emotional vocal effect? I can appreciate that your joy of singing and involvement in the performance is on show but your emotional vocal leaps and soars tend to distract me from the underlying melody and the lyrics. Please don't get me wrong, emotion has a pivotal role in vocal performance but I think it needs to be used selectively to create maximum impact. Just a thought. Take care. Kind regards, Peter.

Hey Peter
Thanks for the feedback. I don't know, I'm not going for subtle light & shade. I don't feel like I'm trying to embellish every line with a vocal effect, but every line I write is unique. I sing it how I feel it. It's not for show, it's how I feel. So, I have been very selective and that's what I selected! I'm not "easy listening" most of the time :-) I think maybe it's just not your cup of tea, I consistently have people in tears at my shows (one of my markers for success). In summary, I appreciate you taking the time to give your feedback, but on this particular topic it looks to me like personal preference. But if more people start telling me the same thing (you are the first), I will take heed! Thanks, take care --
