https://on.soundcloud.com/DumnWyBx2jfQUHUadTHi dear fellow songwriters! ☺️A couple of years ago I wrote this song, The Tide. It's 100% human, no AI involved (didn't exist back then). I wrote the lyrics and the melody - originally on the guitar - and then produced it together with a friend, who's a professional producer. All vocals are sung by me. Even though the song is already finalized, I would love to get some honest feedback on it, always eager to learn and improve myself. The song is about the inevitable ups and the downs in a relationship. The low tide, where everything is easy and calm, and the high tide, where you feel like drowning and you'll never get back to shore again. I hope it can bring someone perspective whenever people feel stuck in those deep, cold waters, because eventually the dark water will disappear.VERSE 1Your face is like a book I've read a thousand timesThe pages stained the cover brokenBut I just love the way your story intertwinesWith the words you're reading from my mindPRE-CHORUS 1We have nothing left to proveYet there is so much we could tear apartAnd loose...CHORUS 1So come into my armsI'll hold you tonightAnd if you're cold and tiredI'll restart the fireDive into my mindI'll let you decide What words to writeLet's go against the tideTonight...VERSE 2And I know all the secret hideouts on your skinIt's a map I've learned and know by heartAnd all the rivers, roads, I know where they beginAnd where they've let us so farPRE-CHORUS 2And we have nothing left to proveYet there is so much we could tear apartAnd loose...CHORUS 2So come into my armsI'll hold you tonightAnd if you're cold and tiredI'll restart the fireDive into my mindI'll let you decide What words to writeLet's go against the tideBRIDGETonight we'll be fineWe'll find our way back to the coast in timeSo hold on tight Let's try not to get swallowed by the tideWe'll be fineCHORUS 3So come into my armsI'll hold you tonightAnd if you're cold and tiredI'll restart the fireDive into my mindI'll let you decide What words to writeLet's go against the tideTonight...
