Wow! I was mesmorised by this 🔥💗💕 Reposted

I enjoyed the smooth flow and pleasant pace. The sound and vocals are good, well well-mixed. Good track.

Smooth and meaningful as well...  Good work!!

This song was created as a collaboration organized by American Songwriter (americansongwriter.com). This was initially two three hour sessions organized and moderated by Dean Fields. The initial prompt was "Falling in or out of love" and we were encouraged to use repetition in the song.

We decided to write the song from the perspective of someone that has lost the love of their life a few years ago, and is slowly coming to grips with the idea that they have overcome the feelings of grief to live again.

I worked with Tim Shay and Marty Collins to craft this song over the course of a few days. We all worked together on lyrics and progression. Tim crafted the vocals, Marty provided guitar work, and I produced, mixed, and mastered the result.

Here are the lyrics and chords for anyone interested:

INTRO
Gm Gmsus2 | Gm (1 beat pause)

VERSE 1
Gm Gm7 | Eb Ebsus2 | Bb Bb7 | Dm Dm7
Gm Gm7 | Eb Ebsus2 | Bb Bb7 | Dm Dsus2
I'm nursing my head, thinking ‘bout what I’ve done
It’s been four years, you think I’d have moved on
But sitting here now and I can't help feeling torn

And I know the answer won't come in a glass
But that's been my only way of forgetting the past
When you left this world
When you left this world

PRE
Ebsus2 Eb F | Gm Gmsus2 | Ebsus2 Eb F | Gm Gmsus2 | Ebsus2 Eb F | Bb Eb | Eb | F | rest
But I can’t live this way any longer
I know that I can be stronger
I will rise above my deepest fear
And I’ll try to make it through
For you

CHORUS
Gm | Eb | Bb | Dm | Gm | Eb | Bb | F | F | F
I’m searching tonight
For my inner light
Looking inside
Looking inside
I’m ending this fight
And laying down my pride
Looking inside
'Til I feel alive

VERSE 2
Gm Gm7 | Eb Ebsus2 | Bb Bb7 | Dm Dsus2
I don’t need devotion, or someone’s embrace
Just a little emotion, behind this face
I’m healing now, I can feel it in my soul



PRE
Ebsus2 Eb F | Gm Gmsus2 | Ebsus2 Eb F | Gm Gmsus2 | Ebsus2 Eb F | Bb Eb | Eb | F | rest
No I won’t live that way any longer
Cos I know that I can be stronger
I will rise above my deepest fear
And I’ll try to make it through
For you

CHORUS 2
Gm | Eb | Bb | Dm | Gm | Eb | Bb | F 
I’m searching tonight
for my inner light
Looking inside
Looking inside

I’m ending this fight
And laying down my pride
Looking inside
'Til I feel alive

POST CHORUS SOLO
Gm | Eb | Bb | Dm | Gm | Eb | Bb | F | rest

BRIDGE
Ebsus2 Eb F | Gm Gmsus2 | Ebsus2 Eb F | Gm Gmsus2 | Ebsus2 Eb F | Bb Eb | Eb | F | rest
Falling out and falling in
I’m learning how to trust myself now
Falling out and falling in love
With me

CHORUS 3 x 2
G | Eb | Bb | D | G | Eb Bb F

I’m searching tonight
For my inner light
Looking inside
Looking inside
I’m ending the fight
And laying down my pride
Looking inside
Til I feel alive

Inside (feat Marty Collins) with Tim Shay

I write, produce, and sing my own songs as an outlet for my feelings. Being born British, we tend to bottle things up, so here's me letting go.
