What Goodbye Is All About

This is one I (Alan) wrote back in 2006. I recently redid IT in BIAB - sounds so much better! I need to tighten up the vocal harmony just a bit. Hope you might enjoy it just a bit. I guess you could call it a Country-Pop tune or just a Pop Ballad - not sure which is more accurate.


Style is _BALADAP.STY (Country Ballad w/ Piano )
MelodyCustom Synth is Hi-Q 049 01 Strings, Ensemble, Chamber Sforzando.tgs

RealTracks in style: 366:Bass, Electric, Country Ev 065
RealTracks in style: 1725:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm CountryBalladJohn Ev 065
RealTracks in song: ~364:Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking Ev 065
RealTracks in song: 1856:Cello, Background PopCountry Ev 085
MIDI SuperTracks in song: 2058:Strings, Rhythm CelticAir Ev 085
RealDrums in Song: NashvilleEven16^1-a:Sidestick, HiHat , b:Snare, Ride


What Goodbye Is All About (A)
© 2007 Alan D. David, BMI

(v1)
Caught between the feelings
First my head and then my heart
I know it we did the right thing
But it’s tearing me apart
Lonely’s not a good friend
It doesn’t heal the hurts
The lies weren’t all that easy
But the truth was even worse

CHORUS
Going on without you
It turns me inside out
I’m trying to accept it
But still I have my doubts
Between relief and sadness
I have to work this out
I guess that’s what goodbye
What goodbye is all about

(v2)
On one hand I still miss you
And think of you each day
On the other hand I know
We’re better off this way
They say that sad get better
With the passing of some time
I’m trying to convince my heart
Before I lose my mind

Repeat Chorus

TAG
What goodbye is all about

A nice one, Alan.

"The lies weren’t all that easy

Nice.

The instrumentation works really well. The strings are especially nice.

You sing this well. Good mix. Enjoyed it.

Alan, I was just getting ready to quote those two lines but floyd beat me to the punch. I agree with all he said. Nicely done. Tom

Alan,

You`ve done it again - another "classic" sounding country/pop song with a nice flowing melody,lyrics that get to the heart of the matter and your warm vocals.
Very good!

A very evocative song. Like Floyd, I liked the strings, and the song had a nice overall flow.

Nice work. I like everything except the way the strings try to track the vocal melody in the last 2 lines of the chorus.
Sad, heart felt and lovely - good work.


Cheers
