Never Lies

https://hearthis.at/elvis-nash-xk/a-broken-heart-never-lies/1yt/



You can try to erase her memory 

One fifth of fire at a time

Say it’s water under a burned out bridge 

Now green rivers run through your mind

Pretend the past is the past 

From happy hour to two a.m.

Tell yourself it’s a new beginning

The same old bullshit every weekend

Ch 

But a broken heart never lies 

Just like whiskey and beer

The harder you try to drink it away

The more it’s crystal clear

You can convince your friends it’s over

Say goodbye a thousand times

But the truth is you still love her

A broken heart never lies

V2 

You can try to escape your feelings

Run away, let your ego mend

Hop a nonstop to Cabo

Find a sweet brown skinned señorita

After the tequila shots are empty

You’re the last two on the dance floor

She’s got her head on your shoulder

But you’re thinking of the one back home

Ch

A broken heart never lies 

Just like whiskey and beer

The harder you try to drink it away

The more it becomes crystal clear

You can convince your friends it’s over

Say goodbye a thousand times

But the truth is you still love her

A broken heart never lies

(Br)

Maybe your brain is fried

And you’ve forgotten what is real

But on the inside where you’re sober

She haunts you still

(Ch)

A broken heart never lies 

Just like whiskey and beer

The harder you try to drink it away

The more it becomes crystal clear

You can convince your friends it’s over

Say goodbye a thousand times

But the truth is you still love her

A broken heart never lies

  • @Eleanor - truth in words, whether in death or broken relationship.. very profound

  • The question is is using live performances on this …beating out AI ? Will see what a publisher says on beating out staff writers on this song
    Thanks
  • @ElvisNash - there are two issues I see with AI, the vocals are all the same regardless of the genre.. the other issue I see is that AI cannot emote.. your songs have human emotions, you put your soul into the song, as it stands now, AI cannot duplicate that.

  • Live players make the track crisper than AI , I think

  • Do them ooooo's on bridge sound chessey ?

  • @ElvisNash - no, they do not. they actual sound good.. they enhance your vocals.. there are a couple times where you have the same cadence as dylan.. it's a brilliant song. very catchy.. you can hum to it while in your car

  • Will see what a Nashville publisher says on the 19th . Who knows

  • @ElvisNash - at least you are out there :)

  • I too like the ooooo's

    One nit while listening was this one line seemed kina rushed.

    I love the whole fifth of fire verse, very cool, and the chorus too!

    Good luck in Nashville

    Find a sweet brown skinned señorita, its on the beat , Brown skin ? , might come off as racial

    But took a pass or 2 to get that wordy line in...lol

    Well see what they say , 90% of the time they pass , then its just a artist song

    I'm in California , My co-writer has the publisher , its either yay or pass , that's the game

    You can not pitch a AI song to country publishers , they hate them and afraid of lawsuits. Since Nashville runs off session players , you can see why they hate them . Well that and being sued

    Very true, Elvis. Feeling bad for the 'sweet brown skinned senorita'...as well as the singer. And I doubt you'll have trouble with that reference, tho' I could be wrong. But all I see on commercials and such these days is brown skin so why not in a song? Anywayz, I've had my 2-cents for what it's worth. Love the tune as it is!

    And I like it when you post your lyrics. Makes it easier for me to study and learn.

    Nashville probably still loves Mexico , its in a billon songs

    Will see how it does , I know the game , They like young singers . So see if it dings me , me singing it .

    its just a made up story

    Sweet brown skin , alarm bells went off . You gotta be careful what you say in commerical songs , Well country anyway , Rap says about anything. The most popular genre with kids

  • Any unattended songwriter will fed Redbull and taught to swear

  • Hey Elvis, this sound great. Is this SUNO. This sound more organic. I love this!

    No that's session players and me singing Tom . I use AI for melody and production ideas though , But track it live usually in Nashville


    Thanks
