Topic: Believe

This song is a jump from my normal writing.In the same style as "You don't bring me flowers" by Neil Diamond and Barbra Streisand. It is a romantic piano piece played very softly. The male voice is done in big letters above the female voice, the female is in small letters.
About a woman that is scared about falling in love, and being being hurt, and the male counterpart is telling her he is there for her to help her believe in love. It might look a little goofy the way I've done. It's the only way me thinks!!!
Chopro won't allow me to put where background singing should be and there are question marks for chords I don't know how to transpose from the piano.

Enjoy

Re: Believe

Thanks 06sc500

I can hear it but I haven't got the talent to play it properly. I think I will approach the multi-talented board for help on this one.
Any piano players,female vocalists,male vocalists or lead guitar players out there that are looking for a project then by all means take a few minutes and Email (At the left) me so we can do some long distance recording.

Thanks Again 06sc500 smile
I'm glad you liked it

Re: Believe

I love duets. You are a poet my friend. Who ya gonna get to sing the female part? Am always trying to get the wife to sing with me but our vocal ranges are so different. Also, I looked for Home County Time on chordie but couldnt find it. Maybe you could post that one? I'd love to learn how to play it. Sorry I inserted a question in an unrelated thread

Re: Believe

Thank You Lena smile
This song has been in me wee little brain for a couple of years now and keeps popping back up.
I have recently been feeling gooder about my writing abilities, thanks to all the kind comments from my friends at Chordie so I had to sit down and finish it. I have re-written a few of the lines today and I'm sure I'll do a bit more lol before I'm done.

Thank You Again Lena for your heart felt encouragement along the way. smile
Kenny

Hi Daddy, I'm glad you liked it. I don't know if it could be a hit or not but with the talent on this board I think it can be recorded properly. Who knows from there, cause you never know until you try. smile

Thanks Again
Kenny

Hey Selso,How's it going. smile
I'm real happy to hear you enjoyed the read. I got as big soft spot in me for sentimental songs. I just wish I could come up with more of them.
As for vocals in the song it is up to who ever wants to try(male or female) I have how it sounds in my head and who ever can come close can do it. Just Email me anything with a vocal track so I can hear  the voice.
Most importantly I need a piano/keyboard player cause I can't play it smooth like it sounds(maybe in 25 years lol).
Here's the link to Home County Time, I'm glad you liked it.

Thanks for the feedback

Hi Alan, smile

I'm glad you liked the lyrics and the way it formatted. Chopro isn't perfect but it gets the job done nicely. Hopefully I'll get some responses and it'll get recorded.

Thanks Again smile

Re: Believe

hi kenny, it's been a while... nice to see you back in the saddle me old mate, this is a truly beautiful song, you should record it any way you can, even if it's just to give us a taster.

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.

Re: Believe

Thanks Phill, I'd love to be able to record this piece but I really don't have the piano talent to do it right. sad The piano is key in the song as it sets the mood for the vocals so if you know anyone interested that would work with a green guy lol have them send me an Email. smile

Thanks my friend

Re: Believe

hi kenny,

i cant believe you dont think your up to the piano part...dont forget i've heard your playing before, and i was well impressed!
i dont normally play the songs, as i cant hear it the way it's meant, but i gave this a go and it came out all bluesy?
tell you what, send me it with just voice and guitar [or whatever] so i can hear it, the words are so strong it needs to be played and listened to.

your friend

Re: Believe

Thanks for the encouragement Phill. Shoot me an Email as I have a bugaboo in my system and my mic for Gmail is out. If I can get it fixed I'll try and play a sample over the mic. Mean while I,ll have to practice it big time. smile
PS As a moderator can you change the title from "Let me Believe"  to "Believe"
Thanks Mate

Thanks Ken
Too many hearts out there that are too scared (me included) to jump in.I should take my own advise sometimes lol
Thanks Again

Hey 06sc500
That happens to me daily and it can really mess up my real job.It's hard to concentrate when I have a tune in my head(not good for sales lol)
On that note I have made my final edit to the song and it is complete. Now I just have to get it out of my head at work!!!

Thanks Again
Kenny
