Really liking the statue/without your slant rhyme. A strong chorus in general.

yes I agree with JT what a chorus-your song structures always intrigue me-love your work Paula. :)

Strong lyrics with great phrases. "Life's not life without you" - Awesome!

An intriguing lyric with a catchy chorus and nice flow throughout.

I think this is my favorite so far of your work!  It seems you're getting more comfortable and powerful and you seem to be progressing more and more.  Very strong lyrically and in the performance aspects as well.

oh -- *here* you are!! :D Another great track, Paula!

These lyrics flow effortlessly as usual, but here you also have a great repeating hook in the chorus. The sudden pauses in a couple of places are very effective.   Great song, Paula!

Oooh Paula hang on to this one! Great song, also enjoyed the different effects you used on vocals throughout.

I Love the chorus, I Love the poetic and feel in the lyrics, I Love the backing vocals, I Love the melody, I Love the way the song evolves and develops new lyrical hooks while staying grounded in its solid melodic roots, I Love... The Paula!!! ^-^ <3

Paula, I absolutely adore your vocals on this one! This melody is fantastic, and your lyrics are strong and bittersweet and gutsy - excellent work!

lyrics:

pretty boy, the heart of downtown,
walked all over my deepest schemes.
your mouth, drives me east by south,
I'd recognize it even in a dream...

and now this city is stained by you,
can't shake the feeling you're in all I do.
and now every minute is frozen like a statue,
I get the feeling life's not life without you.

like a wave, it took more than it gave,
still I smiled complacently.
should've tried to change my own mind,
still fall for you eventually.

and now this city is stained by you,
can't shake the feeling you're everywhere I look.
and now every minute goes by with a touch of blue,
I get the feeling life's not life without you.

and I know they're lying when the say
we only dream in shades of grey
cause I saw your eyes even clearer
than the back of my hand.
I wish it wouldn't have to be this way.

and now this city is stained by you,
do you still remember me the same way I do?
and now every minute is frozen like a statue,
I get the feeling life's not life without you.

and I know they're lying when the say
we only dream in shades of grey
cause I saw your eyes even clearer
than the back of my hand.
I wish it wouldn't have to be this way.
and I know they're lying when the say
we only dream in shades of grey
cause I saw your eyes even clearer
than the back of my hand...

I'd recognize it even in a dream.

in a dream

kind of a singer but definitely a songwriter.
currently trying to write one song every week at Song A Week 2024.
