Hi again, Gary. What a gripping beginning this one has! ! Like the slow downs and the changes in melody. If I’m honest I think the vocal needs some support. Double tracking? A harmony. A second voice? But a fab track. I like the piano piece towards the end and the single chord ending.

well produced my friend vocal placement right in the center

We do our songs together in 2014... was the first work we do together... The men behind the curtain... have fun

About a guy who reflects back on an early love and wonders what life would have been with her.


Lyrics:

Once In A While
© 2002 Gary Randman

[Verse 1]
Long time ago
In a town near the coast
Met a girl named Jolene
For a little while we were real close

We’d runaway
To go hide in the caves
Where we talked and we laugh
And we fell in love, it was true love

[Chorus]
Once in a while
Thinking of her
What it be like
Life together now

[Verse 2]
She’d always say
To be strong not afraid
So I gave her my heart
If I would hurt she would heal me

Cold winter days
Lying close feeling safe
And we held on so tight
It felt so good and it felt right

[Chorus]
Once in a while
Thinking of her
What it be like
Life together now

[Verse 3]
Remember the day
She moved away
And we kissed one last time
She said good luck, don’t forget me


[Chorus]
Once in a while
Thinking of her
What it be like
Life together now

[Outro]
Now I’m living with someone else
It’s good but I think
If I was still with her now
Would it be the same?

Once In A While

About a guy who has doubts around how his girl feels about him.  

Lyrics:

My Sweet Love
 © 1990 Gary Randman
[Verse 1]  
 My sweet love
 With the rose in your hand
 Do you sleep well at night
 Knowing I am your man?

[Chorus] 
 Do you love me
 And are you happy
 When the morning comes?
 All the birds in the tree
 They're singing softly
 But they don't know what
 What she'll do
 What she'll say
 Where she'll go
 Where she's been today

 [Verse 2] 
 My sweet love
 With the gold from your ears
 Why do you hide your thoughts?
 Are you scared of the fears?
 
 [Chorus] 
 
 [Bridge]
 Taking many chances
 Too much romancing
 Don't know what she's after
 Flirting with disaster
 Wish she give a sign
 Stop wasting my time
 
 [Chorus]
 
 [Outro]
 Taking many chances
 Too much romancing
 Don't know what she's after 
 Flirting with disaster
 Changes in her ways
 Have made me start to say
 Don't want to be a fool
 Emotions being used
 She's playing with mind
 Can't read between the lines
 Is this love I see
 Or is it make believe
 Wish she give a sign
 Stop wasting my time

My Sweet Love

About a guy whose girl wants to end things and he wants to talk about it and resolve.


Lyrics:

Let’s Talk About It
© 2002 Gary Randman


[Verse 1]
It’s been a long hard workday
Won’t you give me a break
Boss wants me to design
A new product line

I work all day
and I come home late
and I’m weak and tired

Now you start complaining
That I don’t give a damn
You think love is fading
And I don’t understand

[Chorus]
Let's talk about it
Talk about it
Don’t let the good times fade away

[Verse 2]
We used to kid and laugh a lot
Spend our time just kissing
Hours would pass us by
We just keep on loving

The times were good
and we thought they would
Always last forever

Now you say you’re leaving
Cause I’m bringing you down
There’s no use persuading
Can’t save the love we found

[Chorus]
Let's talk about it
Talk about it
Don’t let the good times fade away

[Verse 3]
Want things to get better
Want life the way it was
Please don’t give in easy
Let's try to work it out

[Chorus]
Let's talk about it
Talk about it
Don’t let the good times fade away

Let's Talk About It

RE-EVOLUTION

Get ready to groove with "Thursday Night Special" - a playful, rhythm-packed classic rock style anthem. Why not start the weekend early?

Thursday Night Special

An old school rocking Christmas song, referencing an old school rocking Christmas song.

Lyrics:

Are you ready for Santa
Are you on the right list
Check your self so many times
I think you get the gist
When we were young
We assumed so many things
Mom and dad knew we were good
Let's see what Santa brings

Now,
When the song screams out "it's Christmas"
Have we been the best
We think back on the year that was
And have we passed the test
It's Christmas, it's Christmas
Were you naughty or nice
You worry 'bout the Santa list
And know he's checking it twice

What's the meaning of Christmas
Is it gifts, is it toys
The food, tree, and family
The never ending joys
Or is it something magic
Something undefined
A simple gift of giving
That enriches someones life

Now,
The song screams out "it's Christmas"
Have we been the best
The choices made the year that was
You hope you've passed the test
It's Christmas, it's Christmas
Were you naughty or nice
Don't worry bout that Santa list
He's already checked it twice

On the night before Christmas
And all through the house
The only thing that's stirring
Is the clicking of a mouse
Quick donate to charity
Before the list is done
You really don't get Christmas
And you're not the only one

When
The song screams out "it's Christmas"
Have you been the best
You can't change the year that was
But there's always next years test
It's Christmas, it's Christmas
So simply just be kind
Spread some cheer, light up their lives
And maybe you will find

When
The song screams out "it's Christmas"
It's really Christmas time

Are You Ready For Santa

One more light

Going to be stepping away for a while. Here's what I've been working on the past few weeks. F4N

How We Feel

Lobby

I've been writing songs as a hobby for many years while I raised a family but I'm now looking to take the songwriting to the next level.  I grew up with the Classic Rock of the 60's & 70's and the 80's music scenes.  Hard to find a similar artist to my songs but it is in the Pop, Rock genres.  I believe the songs have good potential and are something different and original from what you hear today. Take a listen to my various demos and let me know what you think.  I'm looking for a creative producer who enjoys what he hears and would be interested to take this music to a new level to grow a fan base and/or share with an artist.

Please click on Follow as I will be adding more tracks over time.

My Sweet Love
