Description
You Left (Lyrics by Javolenus and SackJo22)
What got inside your head
Maybe something I said
Cuz you left, yes you left without saying goodbye
So you think me unkind?
If I could read your mind, I would know why you left
Communications down
I guess you're headed to town
You left, without saying goodbye
Maybe we'll meet up again
Hope we're speaking by then
though you left, you left without saying goodbye
Sorry to be that way
Hope you'll forgive me one day thought I left
I had no words -- I was hurt
Me or you, who was worse?
I left
Communication down
When I left town, I was doing my best
If we ever meet up again,
I hope we can be friends though I left without saying goodbye
****************
This track should be in much better shape given how many hours I put into it. In addition to my limitations, there are performance flubs. I am thankful to Snowflake for some very useful production tips when it came time to mix the vocals. It started with Zenboy1955's upbeat popilicious backing track. Then I discovered Javolenus' lyrics, written from the perspective of someone left-behind, I added some lyrics from the perspective of the person leaving. Then I invited Haskel to add some tasty guitar stylings.
There were so many different sonic influences that visited while I was putting this together -- influences in ways you may or may not hear in the track including David Bowie, The Roches, Roy Orbinson, and Trio (Dolly Parton/Emily Lou Harris/Linda Rondstadt).
The Band:
Drums, Bass, Acoustic, Keboard : Zenboy1955
Acoustic and Electric Guitars : Haskel Joseph (Ezra Skull)
Lyrics : Javolenus, SackJo22
Vocals : SackJo22
Songbird : Nightengale
Highly enjoyable! I can totally hear your influences. And I love your lyric adds and how you sang them. Delicious all around!

Really dig this! Love the additional lyrics, performance & production. And I was thinking "Bowie" before I read your influences! Great--and much enjoyed. :-)
