A song I wrote for my son Alex. All comments welcome.
phpBB [audio] Light of Days Gone By Verse 1 Light of days gone by The memories of my life Oh the mountains I have yet to climb But now as time moves on I hear a different song In the heart of my only son Chorus 1 He was God's gift to his mom and I that day and thru the years I've watched him grow and find his way And so the journey of my life is not my own for with his love I will never walk alone Verse 2 Finding a heart of peace At times is hard to reach when the thunder starts to roar But as a father to my boy he's dreams are now my joy thru each day and forever more Chorus 2 He was God's gift to his mom and I that day and thru the years I've watched him grow and find his way And so the journey of my life is not my own for with his love I will never walk alone Bridge The day he drew his first breath our chosen one Changed our lives forever our precious son Glory to the Father let His will be done Verse 3 Light of days gone by The memories of his life Oh the mountains he has yet to climb... |
Really not the type of song I would generally listen to but I really enjoyed this from start to finish.
Great subject, eloquent lyrics, really nice tune and expertly played and produced! Nothing else to say really apart from 'beautiful'. Thanks for sharing!

That was beautiful. Why are we compelled to write a song for a child of ours? I have done the same.
I really like the lead guitar panned hard, sounds like a Telecaster to me. All around great production.

It's a good thing to write a song for someone you love. I liked the guitar pan as well. It was my Strat on the closest settings I can get to a Tele. I used Ampire on it. |

I agree with the comments made by the others, the song and mix sounds quite flawless to me. Your vocal fits in good, loud enough in my humble opinion. If i'd be your son, i'd have a bright smile in my face and heart.....

Hi Oliver,
Thank you for such a great compliment. I really means a lot to me. Thanks for the feedback on the vocal too. |
