Tides(collaboration Alan Catton) by MrBouzouki published on 2019-03-24T01:04:09Z (Alan Catton - guitar / Pete Goodrich lyrics /vocals)©2019 I am so pleased to have been able to collaborate with stellar guitarist Alan Catton to take one of his instrumentals, write some lyrics then add my vocals to the piece. One of the great things about SoundCloud is hearing a track and being inspired to want to add to what you've just heard. This happened to me with Alan's haunting instrumental "Tides. It only took around 40 minutes for the words to coalesce around Alan's playing and a few days to finalise the vocal performance. It's great when that happens :-) Given the title of the song, I added some waves sound Fx too but otherwise it's just voice and guitar that hopefully gives a very earthy and organic feel to the track. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A sea waves sound FX that is classed as Public Domain is used to add colour to the track from www.freesound.org creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The result is a very simple song of lost love set against the background of the ebb and flow of the tides. Alan's sensitive playing and the title just took me way and I quite like the idea of the tides ebbing and flowing suggesting loss, the slate wiped clean, but maybe not, as the pain of lost love cannot always be erased so easily. Please check out Alan's work, https://soundcloud.com/alan-catton I must admit to being a fan of his having all three of his albums. If you are interested they can be found of his here:- https://www.beggars-bridge.co.uk/shop/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Lyrics Tides (P Goodrich 18/03/19) I watch the tides The ebb and flow A restless calling For those who know A broken heart A lonely walk The tides take all And leave me all alone I watch the tides The ebb and flow Reliving memories Of long ago Of When we kissed And when we loved The tides take all And leave me all alone (Chorus) Once you said you loved me Once you said you cared But now my heart is aching And my tears they won't wash away I watch the tides The ebb and flow I often wonder Where did you go As darkness falls The light it fades The tides take all Here in the afterglow (Chorus) Once you said you loved me Once you said you cared But now my heart is aching And my tears they won't wash away I watch the tides ... I watch the tides ... I watch the tides ... I watch them flow Genre Folk & Singer-Songwriter Comment by Mike Hilton A lovely piece, nice work guys. 2020-03-11T22:41:38Z Comment by Chris O (2) Back for another listen Pete...gorgeous! 2019-12-02T12:35:42Z Comment by Ricardo da Silva wonderful work,superb 2019-09-07T13:13:28Z Comment by Carolyn Barela Loving the melody and vocals on this piece.
