Changes in this version (still not mastered):
- bass added
- shortened alot
- various corrections (mostly on vocals)
- vocals EQ'd to reduce some 'S'
- drums added to verses.

Originally performed by my old band "Nobody Knows" in oh .. around '93-'94. This is dedicated to them:

Lead vocals:Justine/Jerry
Keyboards & b.vox: Amanda
Drums: Mathew
Bass: James
Guitars & b.vox: APB

Lyrics v1
So long since the good times have come around,
If we could be happy,
So much more than I ever could ask for ..

Takin' our time,
Doin' it right,
Once in a lifetime,
I long to hear you say ..

Chorus:
"So say you don't love me ...
'Cos if you can't, you do .."

v2
So why do I find I'm on my own again?
There must be someone ..
Is that too much for anyone to ask for?

Lookin' for you,
Playin' it right,
Tied up inside,
I long to hear you say ..

woo hoo,
yeah,
woo hoo,
(instrumental break)
Yeah!

Takin' our time,
Doin' it right,
Once in a lifetime,
I long to hear you say ..

v3
So it's goodbye to the good times,
I'm on my own ..
I can't find someone ..
To hold and love and be all I ever wished for ..

Lookin' for you,
Pleasin' myself,
Not lookin' for you,
Don't need no one else

Hardware Mac Mini,
MOTU Traveler,
SM58,
Yamaha APX-8A Acoustic guitar,
Epiphone Thunderbird Goth IV (borrowed)

	Thanks Vic glad you liked it. Took alot of comments from last version on board and this was the end result. I need to master it .. but I'll wait .. I've had enough of this tune now for the time being. lol --- "In Swedish, there is a subtle difference between being ugly or drunk"

	Ahhh So beautiful! Such a nice composition! Such a great and professional production, and though professional, still beautiful, (which only in rare cases come together). One of the best posts at the site! Tenbombed.

	Kenta said 768 days ago
	Yes Love it....Solid production and performance. Very nice...very nice, indeed....10s Take care Kenta :) You are the most delicate I knows]

	Rocha Malhada said 768 days ago
	nice vox super nice song. Builds well keeps it "up". really nice vocals sets this off and apart with the harmony parts. Besides you touch the guitar in a delicate way. Nice nice song. Thanks for this! - Harold

apb said 768 days ago

Thanks Harold
vocals is not my favourite thing in the world to do .. hence mostly ever doing
b.vox in bands I played in - but for these re-vamps its up to me and I'm
trying to get better at singing, recording (correcting lol) my vocals and that
takes time, so I am very glad you liked them.

The guitar I'm much more comfortable with .. and in fact I play pretty
hard ...truth be told, but one of the qualities I liked about the Yamaha APX-8A
I use, is it's ability to sound 'light' and delicate even when you thump it a fair
bit ..it's no 'cheese-grater' guitar, so it's a dream to play and I use light picks
with it (and heavier ones for the mandolin and bass).

	pretty cool! great voice and arrangements. Obviously you've been playing with your software long enough to make it sound professionally done. ready for release.

	jie said 767 days ago
	nice Excellent Sound. feel like im in Friends or somethin, then again maybe thats the drink,seriously lovely feel nice production. keep it up . Cheery

	slide said 767 days ago
	solid.... and reminds me a bit of Sheryl Crow production wise...good production and songwriting - good arrangement. Perhaps the lead is somewhat too thick and muddy but that's just a TINY side note and could just be a preference....Good stuff this!

apb said 767 days ago

Tack så mycket ..
Herr Karlsson och Välkommna till MacJams!

Funny you mention Sheryl Crow - at the time we played this
song, when we had a female lead singer, we did a couple
of Sheryl Crow covers - might have subliminally worn off
on my production.

Did you mean the vocal 'lead'? I guess I EQed badly when
trying to reduce the 'S' - hmm any better tips on how to
go about that? Could you check the old version and see if that is better, although too much 'hissing Sid'.

	slide said 766 days ago
	about the muddiness I really don't know if it's that muddy, the lead that is...but you COULD try and "gröpa ur" a bit around 150-300 hz....men ingen big deal. Låter urbra! --- slide

	Feter said 765 days ago

	J.A.Stewart said 764 days ago
	Nice Mesh of musical instruments in a pleasing melody make for an excellent mix here. The vocals are a tad muddy to my ears (on headphones). But overall a lovely piece of work. Now take it to the (virtual) streets, my friend. ;) --- Joe

	Char said 148 days ago
	Other than Custard's Chicken Rap this is the first piece I have listened to from you. Your lyrics mean something sad but the song is still upbeat. Thank you.

	apb said 768 days ago
	Thanks Johannes .. very kind .. blushing. I still think it need work here and there .. but I leave it for now - and come back to it later for mastering, happy to park it for now - I'm flattered you regard it with such high high esteem. Tack så mycket. --- "In Swedish, there is a subtle difference between being ugly or drunk"

	Skol min vän ..tack så mycket. --- "In Swedish, there is a subtle difference between being ugly or drunk"

	apb said 768 days ago
	Thanks .. been new to GB, since I got my Mac Mini, which is when I joined MJ too .. so approx. 6 months - but I've used other sequencers a long time ago and recorded in a couple of studios in my time (but then I wasn't the engineer). --- "In Swedish, there is a subtle difference between being ugly or drunk"

	apb said 767 days ago
	Cheers .. no you mention it the harmonies do give it a bit of a "The Rembrandts" touch to it ..not as upbeat as the Friends theme but .. I see what you mean. Thanks for stopping in, always a pleasure. --- "In Swedish, there is a subtle difference between being ugly or drunk"

	apb said 763 days ago
	Thanks .. .. glad you liked it and took the time to comment and vote. Must come back and iron out all the wrinkles but for now I move on .. --- "In Swedish, there is a subtle difference between being ugly or drunk"

	Thanks .. for your very kind comment. --- "In Swedish, there is a subtle difference between being ugly or drunk"

	apb said 690 days ago
	Thanks John .. .. I muddle by on keys to be honest.. play a bit .. then get in correcting with the timing and pencil etc. Gets the idea across more than anything. Glad you liked it. --- "In Swedish, there is a subtle difference between being ugly or drunk"
