Get Better

Just to say that Pridefall (referenced in this song) is another song from the same album - about couples who fall into toxic/unhealthy relationships.

I love you

Get better

I love you

Get better

I love you

Get better

I love you

Get better

You would sing to me over the hills

Your voice as strong as your will

We would talk, a promise of a walk

But now you’re imprisoned by the pills

Our love may be a silent one

Our hearts trapped in our chests

But know I’d give my life for you

As truest love attests

I love you

Get better

I love you

Get better

I love you

Get better

I love you

Get better

You know I feel the life you’ve lost

Even though our stars are crossed

I hold out hope it don’t end there

You know I sleep with you at night

Though I’ve never held you tight

To never dream would seem unfair

I’ve never known a thing so true

As what I feel inside

I know I’ve found my match in you

I do not wish to hide

All this love

All this love

Yet you grow weaker

You turn off your speaker

Your world closes in on your head

And I try to be careful

Not slip up on Pridefall

I mind every word that is said

I feel

All this love

All this love

I love you

Get better

I love you

Get better

I love you

Get better

I love you

I only want to see your face

But I’m back at my starting place

How can I take it anymore?

Well I can answer that

And it’s a simple fact

I love you to my very core/

You would sing to me over the hills

Your voice as strong as your will

We would talk, a promise of a walk

But now you’re imprisoned by the pills

Our days lay before our two souls

No choice is made but ours

The pain you feel I cannot heal

I do not have such powers

But I have strength

That gods would crave

I use it every day

I’ll do whatever you need, love

It’s your life I wish to save/

I care

I will be there

You’re not alone

My darling, love

I love you

Get better

I love you

Get better

I love you

Get better

I love you

Get better

A cool, upbeat track, Lee! Your vibrato vocals are somewhat reminiscent of Robin Gibb in the late 60s -- "Lamplight" from the Bee Gees' Odessa album in 1969 comes to mind. Your lyrics are upbeat and hopeful. Solid vocals! Crystal clear mix and production. I also enjoyed the extended instrumental middle/outro and the interesting sounds there, before you returned with vocals to close it out. Great stuff! I enjoyed listening! 😀

Cheers,

Thanks for posting,

I am not a musician and my music tastes are traditional and deeply rooted in the 60-80s.

I liked the individual components of the song but collectively, it didn't work for me.

Unlike Joseph, I found the instrumental section too long and diverting.

As I said, I am a traditionalist rooted in more conservative genres so take my comments in that perspective.

Nice vibe to this overall. The opening guitar is good, but it feels better when the bass kicks in to fill out the lower register. For that reason I'd be tempted to bring the bass and drums in earlier.

Not sure what you were trying for with the two separate instrumentals. One for variation makes sense.

Like what you are doing with the supporting vocals.

Overall, got a good feel to it, but perhaps could be tighter.

Haven't heard from you in a while. Glad to see you here again. This is an interesting track with a lot of different components. As always you are fearless with your arrangements which is great. This must have taken some work to create. The instrumental parts are a bit drawn out for my tastes, but that's just me. A great song.😀

Your recordings are great. Love the mix and the entire production.

Your voice has a G. Harrison sound mixed in with the Moody Blues.

Love it!!
