Heres four possibles,

Nobody Knows (blues ballad)

Nobody knows where my love has gone,
she used to be here in my heart,
then suddenly when the heat was on,
she left me like a thief in the dark,
Nobody knows why I cry at night,
waitin' by a silent telephone,
hiding in shadows (baby), out of sight,
I made a house but not a home.

Cant shake this heartache (soul stomper)

Cant help the feelin' somethings wrong,
cant understand whats goin' on,
you use to be so good to me,
you used to set my spirit free,
cant shake this heartache now your gone,

You used to make my life complete,
Lay the world out at my feet,
Filled my life with your desire,
Girl you took me higher and higher,

Can you believe me when I say,
theres only you,
no other way,
My life is grey, my world is blue,
tell me honey what am I gonna do,
Cant shake this heartache now your gone.


Shadow of your Heart (80's ballad)

Whats this feelin' I get in the night,
when I'm alone with you,
It fills every space in my heart,
can you feel it too,
Its the shadow of you heart,
the shadow of your heart,
you really made a mark,
With the shadow,
Shadow of your heart,
When you kiss me I feel a glow,
deep inside my soul, is a fire,
there is no place that i can go,
to escape the thrill,
of desire for you,
and the shadow of your heart.


Pride (80's pop)

Take your picture off the wall,
turn the light out in the hall,
as you leave, softly say goodbye,
remember baby, pride comes before a fall.
When you find a way out,
please let me know,
You can start by telling me,
Everything you know,
Give me an answer,
Please tell me where to go,
Remember baby pride comes before a fall,
Take the arrow from my heart,
this love was doomed,
right from the very start,
as you leave softly walk away,
remember baby pride comes before a fall.

Olias.

Serenity
Thanks for replying, yes, yes, to Aerosmith,
for the ballad think elevator music(lol) maybe Sade Adu? but spot on for the rest. Thanks once again.

P.D.V.
Thank you for the great challenge and your kind words, they are both right up my street.

Sven
I have to confess as soon as I read the challenge I rattled into my studio, banged on the synthesisers and created the music, lyrics are much much easier for me when I have a backing. Thank you for your kind reply I'm glad you enjoyed.

J.M.
Hi poet, glad you liked, as I mentioned, I cheated, I wrote the music first and the lyrics pretty much just wrote themselves, I enjoy the strict tempo discipline but sometimes you can almost get a counterpoint thing going on between the rythmn of the music and the words. Thank you for replying, your very kind, be well my Friend.

Regards to you all and thank you,
Olias.
