Hey folks, thanks for setting up this forum! Glad I’ve still got somewhere to post crap I’ve been writing 😛 Anyways, this is a fairly conventional acoustic song. Sorta corny but I like it! Cheers

Could Anything

 

If you really had to know

Just how much I truly loved you

Would ya tweet the question @ me

Or would ya ask me to my face

If you really had to tell me

How desperately you need me

Would you call or would I read 

It on my Facebook feed

 

If some far off day I proposed via public post and tagged you

Do you really think that you’d

Still want to marry me?

You live your life online full-time 

you know nobody made you

So if that don’t mean much to you

Tell me could anything

 

If I were to tell you

I’ll always be there for you

Would you I rather that I slide into your DMs or just turn my head

And if I were to promise you

I’ll love you to the end

Would you rather hear my voice

Or hear me in your head

 

If some far off day I proposed via public post and tagged you

Do you really think that you’d

Still want to marry me?

You live your life online full-time 

you know nobody made you

So if that don’t mean that much to you tell me could anything

Hiya Rhys. Glad you decided to come over to the new Forum. Gavin's done a fantastic job with it.

It might be a corny subject, as you say, but it's a good one.  A very relevant subject. I agree with what you say in the SC comments: singing, "how could anything," would be more meaningful. More powerful.

I like the way you deliver this one in an almost conversational style. It's like saying, "oi, woman! Communicate!" -- lol. Plus, there's an emotional tone to the song that fits it really well. I think you could play on that emotion by sustaining a few notes a tad. For instance, when you sing "If you really had to tell me, How desperately you need me" you could amp up the emotion by sustaining the "need" by half a count. I'm not talking making it a country wail or anything, just a very slight sustain instead of the almost staccato delivery you give it.

Nice one, Rhys

Hello Rhys,

This seems pretty mellow, melody is soothing, and the lyrics are pure Rhys Fraser.  Your vocals flowed better in this song which made it real, like you were speaking with genuine feeling to someone in your audience.  Thank you for sharing, good luck and best wishes,

Speak soon

Hey Jenny, hey Deacon. Thanks for the feedback. I agree some of the vocals could sustain a bit more, glad you folks liked the glow of it overall though. I think it’s easier on the ears than much of my stuff. Also thanks for the warm greetings, and thanks Gavin for setting this place up. Happy tuh be here! 😛
