Please tell me you didn’t write this in 15 min😆. Superb arrangement. I’ve been eliminating “ solos “ in my songs. And in place of them I will write a separate piece to carry back to the verse/ chorus etc. I think all my listening of classical music is making that easier and making more sense. I have no formal training / theory, so to me that’s critical.. all that listening pays off. Ok.. I’m rambling. I love your music. Oh… don’t ever..let someone tell you what “ your best songs “ are.. . Each listener is different and you need them ALL 😆

Pretty good all round. Great lyrics and vocals

Another wonderful write. Enjoying the smooth flow of this track. Vocals beautifully delivered as always.

A really strong song, Brenda. In lyrics, music and delivery!

Very elegant and beautiful work with wonderful orchestration!

I am so grateful for all of the support I receive here on soundcloud. Thank you so much for sharing, streams, comments, and messages about this song. I am honored that you like it. This is a track from my upcoming album.

Lyrics:
In a room that you call your own     
Every day like the one before
What you left it was never home     
And the people now are gone

All your life in a twelve by ten     
And your dreams mostly in your head
Where's the love well it came and went     
And it's been away too long

This isn't where you thought you'd be     
Alone every night with your tv
A bottle of wine won't help     
What's missing in your life

I see the writing on the wall   
Do you think it's over?
I hear what you won't say    
What's always on your mind
Don't tell me you can't ever change     
'Cause I've seen you hopeful
Tell me you will think      
Of all that you can try

Ladada da da da da da ...     
       
In a room where it all began     
With your life there in plastic bags
You give up what you never had     
Cause everything has changed

All the years they get by somehow  
And the hope where you once were proud
Of the plans they were so profound     
But were humbled by the game

I see the writing on the wall    
Cause you think it's over
I know what's goin on    
When you say you're alright
You tell me you can't start again  
Nothin's left to hope for
I say that's not true     
There's so much you can try
If only you can try     
There's so much you can try

When you look out every morning in your life
Look ahead and not behind
You never know what tomorrow brings you

This isn't where I thought you'd stay
I'm down on my knees and now I pray
Cause what you're about to do  
There'll be no turning back
No  'cause I think it's over  

I saw the writing on the wall    
But I couldn't stop you
You said that you'd hold on    
And now I say goodbye

When I think I'm out of hope  
Nothin's left to live for
I can hear you say      
It's gonna be alright
If only you can try     
YEAH YEAH  if only you can try
If only you can try      
You can try, you can try

Ladada da da da da da ...

You Can Try

Hi! Thank you so very much for visiting my soundcloud page and for supporting my little songs with your likes and amazing comments.  I am so grateful for your time.  If you have decided to follow me, all I have to say is that I am honored! Thank you!  I have posted some tracks, mostly from my first album soon to be released. 

I write, sing, play piano/keys, arrange, produce, and can perform live all of my own songs. I work with real players both live and remotely. What I do and the way I do it takes time, effort, and money. I don't use any A.I. to write my songs, arrange, do vocals, or anything else. Some A.I. company recently claimed that people don't enjoy creating music because of the time and effort it takes to practice and learn etc...and I believe this to be somewhat misguided. I love practicing, learning, listening to the greats, and working on my music. Furthermore, I can't see the point in having software do the creating for me. What would be the point?
