Love the contrast between the catchy upbeat music and the sad, nostalgic lyrics.

nice mix, engaging vocals like the snaps!

Ooh those 6th harmonies are so nice. A great visual storyline if also bittersweet.

When the harmonies kicked in I could swear this song was the best of Sheryl Crow's songs that she forgot to release.

Very very cool! Vocals are sounding mighty, and mighty fine.

I love the vocal harmonies and the imagery of the lyrics. I'm a fan. I can't wait to listen to the next version.

Great focus/flow to the lyrics. Good work! J

ooh that chorus is fantastic! Great collaboration!

I love this and wouldn't change any of it. I keep feeling I want to write my own words to it too. Not sure why that is lol

This is a song that Danielle and I wrote in record time last night.  Very first draft and will need some work, so feedback is appreciated.    Not sure it's a Lynard style song, but it seems to go nicely for the moment.  

Phrasing and melody needs work!

We have done a little update but will record and update in next few days.  31.1.21

Help Yourself 

There's a table 
by the doorway 
It’s got coffee, it’s got tea
A doyley on a plate o’ cakes
We’re trading memories 
Fitting farewell for a friend
Like the end of a song
Secret thought inside our mind is
Will our time be long?

There’s a record
On the player 
It’s a tune, we used to know
We’d play it loud and sing too hard
Until we had to grow up
Finding our future on our own
We went our separate ways
Some loved, some lost, some lasted 
But we miss those golden days

Help yourself to lemon cake
The taste is bittersweet 
Seeing you is so pleasing
So sad to see her leaving
Oh I wish it was a better reason
It’s such a mournful day 
In every tragic way 
But it’s so great to hear your news
And we need to get together soon 
So help yourself to lemon cake

There’s a photo
On the sideboard
Of our final days at school 
Before we’d settled down
Knew life could be so cruel

One of our crowd is missing now 
It hurts to think she’s gone 
We hold those moments in our hearts 
And her memory will stay strong
