I don't really play any instruments (play them well that is...), but do like to dabble in Garage Band, though the loops are a little limiting. I just put this together today, it's still a little rough, but see what you think. It's just done with the computer mike. And I'm fighting a bit of a cold... so please excuse the tuning...
I'm not really sure of the title yet, suggestions are welcome.
Lyrics:
The sun was shining, the birds singing,
Blue skies overhead, anticipation bringing
Smiles to everyone’s faces
as they wander down the road.
The excitement rises as the crowd arrives
Tickets in hands, but there’s no surprise
The police are getting antsy
As the crowds swell at the gate
But there’s something wrong outside
They’re trying desperately to hide
The facts and evidence
That they lost control that day
They said they couldn’t contain them
So they tried their best to blame them
For the error they made
That took your life that day
Once inside there was no going back
The odds against you began to stack
The slow realization
That this might just be the end
Your chest grew tight, as the air grew thin
Beside you a girl tapping her chin
Into your arm
In a desperate plea for life
Penned in tight, you knew this
Wasn’t right, you didn’t choose this
And as the tapping grew still
You knew that girl just died
Loosing your will to fight this,
Death grips you in its steely vices
As you take your last breath
You finally close your eyes
And it’s 20 years on,
And I’m still writing this song
Fighting the will to stop wanting to go on
It’s a very fine line
Between our two worlds
I’ll see you in yours once I’m done seeing you in mine
And I miss you
Oh, oh oh oh oh
I still miss you
Oh oh oh oh oh
I still miss you
Oh oh oh oh oh
Yeah, I still miss you
Oh oh oh oh oh
I miss you _________________ Fly, go fly little one, fly as high as you dare,
Go meet your dreams, and I will still see you there.
As I said in your other post of this...it is a wonderful song about a terrible tragedy.
Hugs you tight

Thanks Eire.
I've updated it since you took a listen, polished it up a bit, added some more sinister strings
I've only just started putting music to my words recently, and although it's not my first, this one has something about it that makes me want to finish it. Maybe it's just cos it's so close to my heart. Thanks for listening anyway, you always listen to all my prattles, it's sweet
