  thanks for your comment and the book tip! Ros

  This is great! I love the echoing of 'we will push, we will pull, we will find a way through' and the piano scale up the keyboard at the end. I wouldn't make any changes, except perhaps a few more instruments. But it's fantastic as it is!

• fourlife 3 months ago

  Wow, I really like this, everything that you did! Nice work. Are you planning on putting it to music soon?

• alexfamous 3 months ago

  You have very passionate vocals man. Loving the work.

• fourlife 3 months ago

  Yes! I can't wait to hear it! Are you gonna go for a more upbeat song or a little slower? Perhaps slow in the beginning then get loud in the chorus; but whatever you want to do is fine with me.

• fourlife 3 months ago

  OMG I just listened to the Come When You're Ready on the Soundcloud link...before I just read the lyrics, but after listening to it...wow! Simply put, it's amazing. I love the piano in it the most, it was a super cool touch.

  Flying down this icy road/Don't wanna pull the brakes, but/Roadblock on this highway/How can the future/Look so far away//As soon as I get out of this rut/I step in another puddle again/Whenever I try and take cover/Clouds come no matter what, will this ever end// Chorus: (I took it and adapted just a little bit) Where there is pain/There is comfort/When there is fear/ We are brave/ To find an opening/Through this blockade
  
  Nice work on the chorus! I just changed the brave part a little so it makes a little more sense. We can add the second verse...any ideas for a bridge? Maybe... We will push/ We will pull/ We will find our way through?

• fourlife 3 months ago

  lol that's what I guessed...it's fine!!

• fourlife 3 months ago

  Haha yeah we can tweak it a little to make it a happier one, I would definetely not mind that because most of my songs that i've written/been writing are sort of down...perhaps the chorus could be super hopeful, like...hmmm...this song is a lot about the weather i've noticed, so we could incorporate "silver lining" or (cheesy, sorry, just my thought process) "rainbow." Do you have any ideas?

•  gslade 3 months ago

  Just listened to Run With the Memoris and subsequently added you to my watchlist.. rock on dude

• fourlife 3 months ago

  This is what I have so far:
  
  Flying down this icy road
  Don't wanna pull the brakes, but
  Roadblock on this highway
  How can the future
  Look so far away
  
  As soon as I get out of this rut
  I step in another puddle again
  Whenever I try and take cover
  Clouds come no matter what, will this ever end?
  
  No chorus, but second verse could go something like this
  
  The silence of suffering
  The urge to live quietly
  Keep walking straight and in line
  I'll just let them think
  That everything's fine

• fourlife 3 months ago

  I think if we worked with a new song it might be better, if that's alright with you...I have pieces of one that I think is pretty good, if you want to hear it. Some unfinished pieces, and since you're a good songwriter yourself, you could fill in the blanks if you'd like.

• fourlife 3 months ago

  I would love to collaborate, although I've never done it before...:D but I have no accessible way of putting any of my lyrics to music, so that would be helpful, thanks! I have quite a few unused lyrics.
