      Returned again: After You (new song)

      I feel slightly silly always coming back here to just post my songs... but I need to share them with some people! haha i hope its not too much to put up with me. Anyway, this one I wrote for a girl. I know it sounds coldplayish, but none of its copied. Also, I'm just getting over a cold, and as you'll notice because of that had a little trouble with the high notes, but it's not bad. You'll for sure get a good sense of the tune from it.

      Song.

      Lyrics:

      [list]

      which way through your eyes
      would you notice if I tried to get inside
      well everything's a sign, and it's alright
      cuz in every passive glance I'd find a smile

      which way to the sky
      am I low or are you just that high
      you would feel it if you'd lie with me tonight
      so i'll wait down here a while before i fly

      your skin reflects
      my indirect
      attempts
      lets cut from now to then
      im wonderin, just when
      how can i waste my time
      just drawing lines
      for you
      i hope you find this true
      cuz i'm coming after you

      which way will you find
      that there's longing behind these eyes I hide
      when everything's just right I'll make a sign
      just don't let that time slip by cuz I can hide

      your skin reflects
      my indirect
      attempts
      lets cut from now to then
      im wonderin, just when
      i'll find the peace of mind
      to try and get this right
      how can i waste our time
      just drawing lines
      right through

      your eyes grew
      dont hide up in blue

      i hope you see my view
      i'm tired of placing clues
      and i hope you find this true
      cuz i'm coming after you[list]

      Thanks for listening... don't be shy to say something, positive or negative. I do, of course, expect SOME feedback.

      Excellente! You have an amazing voice, as does your guitar. I like the song a lot as it is, but I think that if some backing instruments were included then it has the potential to be a very powerful piece. Hmm...what I would do is: leave intro and first verse as is- soft drums and bass come in second verse- strings come in at chorus-heavier drums come in after chorus- full band until the end-From 'your eyes grew' to the end would be the climax, and a very gentle guitar solo would come in and follow your words. Mmm...i like to fantasize, but nevertheless, you write a good tune.
      .......Then I think of my youth and of my first love-when the longing of desire was strong. Now I long only for my first longing. What is youth? A dream. What is love? The substance of a dream.

      That's a pretty good piece there Dylan. I would give you advice on it, but it has already been stated, by Evolo. Sounds like a young-and-growing Coldplay kinda thing. Pretty good though.

      Impressive! I'm a big fan of acoustic music. Artists like Nick Drake, Elliott Smith, Iron and Wine, etc. I'm much for picking apart why I like music, but I like it. Nice work.

      another winner Dylan

      I love the vocal part at

      "your skin reflects
      my indirect
      attempts"

      you're always so great at using a wide vocal range

      you have this kinda classic rock feel, your voice reminds me of a young eric clapton, and there's a drop or 2 of coldplay here and there

      me = big fan
