NEW SONG R2OS, comments & advice?
Hi, and regards to all of you here on CF. Been here for some years now, but not been the most active poster.
Hi. I've been using the Easter holidays to relax, review some music here and record a new song. It's an R.E.M. / Beatles sounding thing, about lost love, and what you go through when you break up with your lover.
Have been trying to learn from advice on earlier songs submitted, listening to you out there and reading comments here on cakewalk forums and the homerecording.com site.
Looking forward to getting your advice, comments and criticism on anything you can think of concerning this song.
Fine by me if you speak your mind and come with your honest subjective opinion, I can take it, I learn more from advice and criticism! :)

All music is recorded as audio, drums are loops/samples. All instruments played by me.
I have no bass guitar yet, so the bass is a guitar transposed on octave down, have to get one!
The guitars are tuned in C6 and the acoustic have a capo on 6th.
Planning to by the
CME UF8 keyboard with firewire to be able to work more freely with sounds and spices for the song.

Lyrics:
R2OS – Teardrop 2005 ©
1) Save;
your lies
your ways
2) come what may
come what may
Chorus:
This is what it does
What was your cause?
Teardrop
Teardrop
Watering eyes
Watering eyes
3) Save:
your life
today
4) go away
go away
Chorus 2)
Say:
You waste your time
Say:
You waste mine
Teardrop
Teardrop
