For You

Edit:   I took this song down because I had posted an earlier version by mistake.  Sheesh,  I didn't notice something as basic as that.
 
 
 
For You

https://soundcloud.com/orygun/for-you

I wrote this song for my wife.

As usual, my singing is barely passable and after a while I just say that's as good as it's gonna get.
And I just noticed that the vocal track is too soft on Sound Cloud. A later fix.
Thanks for listening.


For my wife

Been a long time now   
wanted to say this to you
Never knew how to say it though
But maybe in a song...
I don't know what I'd be without you

When we're apart I realize what you mean to me
You are the one who  I need,  you make me feel complete
You are the one at my side and  it's still so true
you are as beautiful as when  I first met  you

We view the world in different ways , in that we do agree
we share the best we have to give, not You nor I but We
Wish I had said these words before. They were always there
Feelings are hard for me to say. Hard for me to share.    

So you should know how grateful I am to have you in my life
I really do love you so,  I'm grateful you're my wife.

    Nice little tune...good luck with the singing...practice makes passable...maybe...I'm no singer either. I admire anyone here who can.

    I'm sure your wife loved it - I did. Your voice sounds pretty good to me.
     
    Nice tune.

    The nice thing about your songs Bjorn is they are always from the heart which makes it good for me.

    Nice guitar playing and arrangement, thanks for sharing, you are a braver man than me (But then I am Wookiee )

    Thanks. I'm thinking of writing more instrumental songs from now on. Much less frustrating. :-)

    Thanks. My wife did like it. I think I regained all the points I lost (and then some) when I forgot Valentines Day last Feb.

    I liked it - a touching love song.  Your vocal sounds alright to me - for some reason I was thinking a double on the lead vocal would be interesting.

    Bjorn, this is a beautiful recording.  The emotion just drips from the lyrics.  Someday, if you're in the mood, you may want to play with phrasing, which could offer some surprises.

    All the best,
    Lynn

    Thanks for the comments everyone.  Lynn, I wasn't sure what you meant by phrasing so I listened to what I had posted and d'oh I had posted an earlier version by mistake.  So it's not there anymore.
