Alone with my Tears
My first entry into any comp and I've still got a lot to learn judging by the amazing songs already posted.
I'm an Englishman living in Thailand and my resources are somewhat limited but it's all about having fun……and I am.

Hi Andy. This has a well crafted chord sequence and lovely melody, but your vocals are very low in the mix so I couldn’t make out the lyrics.
Hi Andy welcome to TisT from Thailand!! This has a well crafted chord sequence and lovely melody, but your vocals are very low in the mix so I couldn’t make out the lyrics.
Yes, you’re quite right Julie……when I was playing it the vocals seemed quite loud and I didn’t have time to record it again!!! thanks for the feedback and here are the lyrics:
I WAS LONELY, YOU CAME AND TALKED TO ME
TREID TO TELL ME ALL THE THINGS, WHY IT HAD TO BE
YOU’VE GONE NOW, LEFT IT ALL BEHIND
I THOUGHT YOU WERE BEING CRUEL BUT, YOU WERE BEING KIND
NOW YOU’VE GONE IS IT FOREVER, YOU KNOW I’LL ALWAYS FEEL THE SAME
MAYBE SOME DAY YOU’LL CALL ME, ARRANGE TO SEE ME AGAIN…..
BUT I DON’T THINK SO
YOU WERE LUCKY, TO HAVE SOMEONE
WHO LOVED YOU STILL, DESPITE WHAT WE’D DONE
YOU LEFT ME, ALONE WITH MY TEARS
WOND’RING IF THEY’D ALL BEEN WASTED YEARS
CHORUS REPEAT
BUT I DON’T THINK SO
Lovely hypnotic vibe – slips nicely into the ears. Good song
A beautiful song. I enjoyed the dreamy sound. Hauntingly sad and beautiful at the same time. Good to have you aboard! Keep ’em coming.
Some dreamy chords on there. Thanks for posting lyrics although with headphones on they’re pretty clear. Welcome to TisT 😀
Thanks for the lovely welcome and the comments too…..much appreciated.
I liked the gentle style and I could make out all the words (which definitely isn’t always the case). I did like some of your chord progressions too.
Perhaps a break into something different might be nice. You’re obviously a good keyboard player so you could maybe manage an instrumental break. Just things that have been suggested to me since I joined TisT. Good luck 🤞
Very nice first effort into the group Andy. Welcome aboard
Thanks Heather and Huw ……your replies are appreciated. This was a deliberate attempt to keep it simple Heather, but I fully understand what you are saying. Maybe next time I’ll add an instrumental and/or a middle 8.
Thanks again, Andy
That “I don’t think so” at the end of the verses is so poignant. Your simple, sensitive arrangement suits the sadness of your theme. You’ve received some very helpful pointers above from others with lots more knowledge than me. I look forward to hear what you produce next! Well done. 👍
