"She knows her heart will never forgive
She cries for ghosts that never lived
That never lived"
Great lines!!
The vocal, write and arrangement are all in the pocket. It sounds very nice on our monitors.
Enjoyed it!
J&B Thanks, J&B. Funny you mention those two lines. I thought of those two lines in that twilight time between being conscious and unconscious just before falling asleep. I forced myself to get up and write it down because I knew I would forget it in the morning.

I can picture this lady as it's happening. Great song Even though this song is fiction, I based it on some people. Thanks, Graham.

A good story in the write -the chorus lyric is especially memorable as J&B mentioned.
I like your vocals -they are always resonant and well mixed ( no problem on the harmonies- for me they aren`t obtrusive).
The arrangement is straightforward - it works well for the song.
Enjoyed!
Robert
Thanks for listening and for your response, Robert.

It's almost the complete package - except for the reverb as mentioned.
the easiest way I've found to get things "in the same room" is to use the same reverb on all instruments with it - varying the degree a little only. The reverb within BIAB is hard to match so I've found exporting dry is the safest option.
Sweet sad song. Thanks, Ray. I didn't know I could export the tracks from RB without the reverb. I will have to check that out.

Hi Ezekiel,
a very beautiful and touching song - bothe lyrics and melody.I liked the solo a lot the way it is. Great job.
Cheers, Stefan Thanks, Stefan. That means a lot coming from my favorite German songwriter. My other favorite German speaking songwriters are from Austria, the Mona Lisa Twins.

Nice work on this one  I really enjoyed your lyrics on this, and the sparse instrumentation helped them hit all the harder. Some solid vocals on this too. It is definitely attention grabbing, and I loved the haunting and sad atmosphere it sets. Really well done - thanks for sharing! Thanks for the listen, Derek.

You've created a nicely written piece expressing personal regret...
I really like the melody you've chosen to enhance the lyrical content...
Simplicity in arrangement... Good job & very effective.
I must say I enjoyed the performance! Jim, thank you for taking the time to listen and to respond. I appreciated it greatly.

Very easy and enjoyable listen.
Great vocals. I liked the way vocals and bass had found their very own, distant frequency space on this tune and yet sounded nicely as a whole.
Thank you for sharing,
Misha. Misha, thanks for the listen and the response.

Dear "Ezekial's Storm"...
There is something almost mysterious about your lyrics for "Ghosts That Never Lived". As I interpreted them, the woman who is the subject of your song seems to live with a dream that could be mistaken for a memory, or vice-versa. There's something subtly unreal about it, which makes the poetry in your lines stand out as luminously as a newly-discovered land:
"Her heart is crystalline
No summertime playgrounds to come..."
Beautiful and evocative writing. Your Real Tracks as heard through your composition have a gentle, sundown feel to them that, though somewhat sad-sounding, nonetheless are soothing to listen to. I liked the vocal harmony, too.
Sweet, soulful songwriting this is, "Ezekial's Storm"!
Truly,
LOREN
Thanks for your comments, Loren. They give me encouragement for my weekend hobby.

Super vocal. Really like the effects used with your vocal. Very nice backtrack fits the vocal perfectly. L:oved the tele twang on the guitar solo.. Thanks, Scott. I have never been to Edmonton, but I've been to Pancake Bay and St. Johns.

[quote=Guitarhacker]Ghosts that never lived. This can be taken so many ways. My thoughts went to the children that never make it the full 9 months to be born for one reason or another . It is so common and it really haunts you for your life when you lose a child in this manner.
Good song. [/quote
Thanks for the listen. You are on the money. That is the basis for most of the song.

Nice, nice work.
I favor simple, uncrowded melody lines like you've written. Your highly evocative lyric isn't overshadowed by a backtrack that is trying to do too much.
I loved that slooping-down vocal element "to come"
I'll also say that you are 'brave' to write something from a woman's POV...can be very tricky!
Only constructive comment I'd give you...I think you let BIAB write the ending 2 bars, but I think you could probably come up with something more innovative and less predictable there.
Otherwise, well-done!! Enjoyed it alot!

Nice song! Good writing and love your vocal, the fx work for me.
I also like the way you mixed this, putting that acoustic almost hard left works well.

I like it a lot. It's mesmerising, hypnotic and beautiful. Personally, maybe I would have modulated somewhere in there and then have come back to the home key at the end, but who am I to interfere with an effective track such as this one? Good job :-)
