Hi forum folk
Here's a new song I wrote and recorded with the aid of a very nice solo from James (jamesg1213) Griffiths.

Slice of Paradise
Written and performed by Staypress
Guitar solo by James Griffiths
V1
We've been a couple for so long
I forgot whats right, whats wrong
You've been selling me out
Fear uncertainty and doubt
Prechorus
...and I don't know why you get so defensive
You've got me going on a charm offensive
Chorus
Why upset the apple cart? We've got so much to give
We've got our little slice of paradise to live
V2
I used to be one in a million
You used to be so brilliant
You've got a prize for me
A medal for mediocrity
Prechorus
Chorus
Middle bit
Though we no longer love in the same way 
We show our love every single day
Chorus to end
 
with added fud

As always, consistent, catchy, and brilliant.  You two work together so well, you'd think that you were in a band.

Really well done. It’s so upbeat and catchy that the only thing that strikes me weird is the line “though we no longer love in the same way”. Not sure what that means and it’s none of my business, but it seems like a bit of a buzz kill. Maybe, just maybe I have totally taken this all wrong - would not be the first time. Good tune, terrific playing and singing.

Nice work, sounds good to me...
 

Chorus kills. So very catchy. Middle-aged ennui. Raise your hand. Everyone? Yes, I thought so.
 
James, excellent feel on that guitar as per usual.
 
Spot on, I'd say.

Oh, I totally get it. Every marriage or other romantic relationship grows a little cold over time. You still love each other, but it's not the fiery kind of love you once had. It's more refined for some when they realize there are more important things than romantic love such as trust, loyalty, and selflessness. For others it's not that at all but instead becomes more of a love of circumstances, a comfortable home life. It's fine--just different.
 
Good song guys. Well done.

Thanks so much Bill - spot on with the song meaning sir!
 

This is great.  It has the whole package -- good lyrics, catchy hooks, solid instrumentation, and the vocals are a good match with the tune.  Like the hot ending. 
 
Well done guys. 

Enjoyed hearing this one very much! The Vocals are right in front of you and easy to hear. That's not always the case in a lot of songs. But what I really like, while the vocals are right in front, you can still hear everyone else also. I'm no mix master that's for sure, but I like what I hear with the mix. 
 
Even more so, I love the song!!!

Nicely written and arranged, well captured and performed, excellent choice of tone from James on the lead.

All round  great track.

Thanks so much Wookster.

Really clean mix. Cool song too. Like the middle bit where it drops to just bass and synth for a minute.

I agree on James solo

Daryl,
 
Fantastic track.   Sounds current but with a hint of an 80's nod in the drum track (i.e. synthetic cowbell and general sound)   Like it very much. 
 
Cool guitar solo as well.   Reminds me a little of David Gilmour.   
 
Regards

Thanks a lot Mark - very kind
