that's one polished spontaneous session. mad skills, sir!

This track fits so well for listening it in the morning.. sending warmth 

The title is so fitting for this work, and meaningful 

I wish my spontaneous recordings could sound so "rough"! Strong track with your signature vocals and twists. Durge

Written and mostly recorded in a single day late last year, this song almost fell foul of the very defeatism that it is supposed to eschew... granted, the main reason for the length of the delay was beyond my control, but this recording is pretty much as it was the day the song was written. As such, there's plenty of rough edges and bum notes, but in an effort to retain the spontaneity of the original session I've left most of it as is. Hope you like it anyway!

Lyrics:

How much is too much?
How much is not enough?
How late is too late?
How soon is soon enough?

Better wake up!
I've come too far to give up
Better wake up...
I've come to far to give up

Too soon for the end
Too late to start again
So hard to make a change
No way to stay the same

Better wake up!
I've come too far to give up
Gotta wake up
I've come too far to give up
Better wake up!
I've come too far to give up
Better wake up...
I've come too far to give up

I've Come Too Far To Give Up

Hi, I'm Chris and I am a research scientist by day and a songwriter in my spare time. I joined SC in 2013 and I mainly record acoustic guitar and vocal harmonies, but also like playing electric guitar, bass, keyboards and using drum loops.

My musical influences include Syd Barrett, Neil Young, Peter Gabriel and Paul Simon, and increasingly fellow SoundClouders; My favourite bands include Yes, Supertramp, Pink Floyd, Rush and Steely Dan, and I also listen a lot to The Beatles, Elton John, The Who, Van Morrison, Genesis, King Crimson,  Jethro Tull, Sparks, Stevie Wonder, The Grateful Dead to name but a few...

Anyway, please feel free to get in touch - I can make any tracks (in whole or in part) available if you want them for collaborative reasons, or if you just want them for your mp3 collection :)
