Laura Lee
Hope you enjoy our latest original song. Laura Lee The Players: Daryl - Vocals, Drums, Keys Mesh - Electric Guitar - Lead Guitar Ed - Acoustic Guitars, Bass Laura Lee (c) 2016 D. Greenway & E. Kocol V1 There's a girl who keeps my heart in a jar She's my world, I admire from afar But she's unaware of my non-reciprocal stare Ch I'm watching that Laura Lee I wish she would notice me The world is lush with Laura Lee I wish our love could be something the world could see V2 There's a girl she's the light of my life And one day I will make her my wife But she wouldn't know, I can't even say 'hello' Ch Middle bit One gloomy day, she looked my way When she spoke I was too afraid to say What was on my mind for she might be unkind and ruin my love for Laura Lee V3 I took a chance, worked up the courage to talk I asked her to dance, she told me to take a walk She broke my heart, I had no chance from the start Ch I'm thinking of Laura Lee I wish she had noticed me The world is lush with Laura Lee I wish that I could be together with Laura Lee But it was not to be..

I like it and (as far as I know) all of the ones Daryl sings lead on. They all remind me of something (though remembering what isn't happening - lol).
How close to a full album are you? I'd buy it!
Time for all of you to head over to Beyond My DAW!

As usual, a pleasant, understated, dynamic and clean production. Nice acoustic guitar work, Ed. Is the tambourine sampled? It sounds good, so I'm assuming it is.
 All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to. My Stuff

hope you don't mind me commenting...
So, I didn't really care for this song... yet still nicely done!
I really liked some of the other songs that you have on your SC site!
Very Pro sounding... all around really great works! When I have more time I will check out more of your songs!
"Happy people" was great! and the "Xmas is coming" nicely surprised me. :)
I keep thinking I should thank you.. lol, I think that it's just nice to hear really pro works here...
This is what I expected from many people here.... :) I needed this!
peace!

Pleasant indeed. I like the mix very much, cool organ pad tucked under just the right amount, glues it all together.
I liked the bgv in the chorus sections better than in the verse, the bgv's poke out a bit for me during the verse. Maybe a tasteful flanging or a dip in their volume?
However with Daryl's voice, more is more, so it's all good. Nice job to all!

I really like this one guys - this reminds me a lot of early Pink Floyd. I think this is actually the best I've heard from you all - it's really great.

Just.....wow! Excellent. Really nice song and performances all around. Love the vocals, really I like everything about this song. Production is top notch, killer sound. How do you get that acoustic guitar sound? And, I must say, I'm impressed by anyone who can write a song with the words "non-reciprocal" in it and make it work.  Great job guys!

Bapu's been on a mixing roll and did an excellent job on this, but of course in a reciprocal way......(had to use that word just once in my life.)
