THE TIME WE LOST
Copyright 2021 Dave Hallinan (music)/Ken Mitchell (lyrics)

The time we lost, we’ll never see again
It’s down the bend on a long-gone train
Hunkering down in a town with no name
And the lone wind blows

But here inside I still have you
Our vow of love has made it through
You dance to me and I dance to you
And the fire glows

BRIDGE:  Can’t undo the cold
                 Can’t undo the rain
                 But the time we lost is time we gained

The time we lost has no regrets
The things it did it now forgets
What’s coming up is anyone’s bet
And nobody knows

INSTRUMENTAL

BRIDGE:  Can’t undo the dark
                 Can’t undo the pain
                 But the time we lost is time we gained

We got stuck in the great charade
But now that debt is fully paid
Our story etched in an endless praise
And it really shows
It’s not who you know
It’s simply what you sow.

Sometimes we do crazy things for the person we love. But would you still do it, knowing you might lose that person in the end?

One of the quickest heartbreaks I’ve put to song </3

LYRICS:

VERSE 1:
Natatanaw ka sa paligid
Damdamin ay mapanlinlang
Mahulaan mo kaya?
Bugso ng puso'y kakaiba

CHORUS:
Handa akong talikuran 
Ang lahat ng ito
Makasama ka lang
Handa akong muling lumapit sa'yo
Sana nama'y di na lumisan

VERSE 2:
Kung sabagay hindi
Alam ang dahilan
Puso'y lito di makagalaw

*chorus 

LAST CHORUS:
Handa akong talikuran 
Ang lahat ng ito
Makasama ka lang

Handa akong malunod sa'yo
Sana nama'y di na lumisan
Sana nama'y wag ng lumisan
Sana nama'y hindi ka na lumisan

Makasama ka lang (Original Song)

RECORDING HISTORY:   About me:   A few decades of experience!   I’ve been writing, performing and producing music since my late teens, keeping up with tech advancements. With my recording, practices and live performances in bands, I have well over 10,000 hours of experience! 

I am on the Waves subscription plan, which with my DAW, Logic Pro, and other software purchases, gives me lots  of options to get the best sounds and loudness!  Add my speaker system and studio reference headphones, constant software and skills upgrades, and I am ready and able!

Musicianship:  I play drums, electric and acoustic guitars, electric bass, and keyboards. I sing, harmonize well. Primary influences: Beatles (and George Martin), Brian Eno, David Bowie, Elton John, & Leonard Cohen. 

I am in this for the joy of creating music.  It has always been that way, since my first transistor radio (!) to hours of absorbing the masterful sounds of my influence for hours on end…and blending them with my abilities.

I started on two cheap reel-to-reel recorders in 1970, using  a surprisingly successful sound-on-sound technique (in my late teens and early 20s).  I moved to a professional reel-to-reel sound-on-sound for a spell (later 20s), and then eventually to 4-track cassette mixing recorder, mixing to reel, with several effects units (later 30s). 

I took a 14 year break from the mid-90s on, as work and family became all-consuming.  I retired from working in July 2018.  I then began writing/recording again that August, now in the digital era with GarageBand at first, then Logic Pro late winter of 2020.  

I also played drums, then guitar, and sang, in the local covers-band, Revolver...which I left in 2021.  I record/produce other artists and add instruments as needed.  Thanks for reading all this!
