Hi everyone...
I'm trying to hit a popballad, (a boyband kind of thing)something in the same field as "Westlife-Backstreet boys-Nsync". So please critique...Thanks!

Best Wishes,

Brian.


Do you ever?
© 2002 Brian Eggertsen, All Rights Reserved

V1:
The distand between us
Was growing far too wide,
Didn't want to let go
But we knew it was time.
Now I sit by myself
Feeling lost, feeling cold,
I sit all alone with
Just memories to hold.

C:
Now do you ever sit
Alone in the dark,
Losing pieces and bits
Of your broken heart?
And do you ever walk
Around feeling blue,
Wishing that we had talked
About me and you?
Do you ever? Do you ever?
Do you ever? Do you ever?
'Cause I do...

V2:
Whenever I see you
I'm drowning in heartaches,
And I cry in silence
'Cause I miss your embrace.
The way I held you close
And said that I love you,
Now everything is gone
Even the love so true.

C:
Now do you ever sit
Alone in the dark,
Losing pieces and bits
Of your broken heart?
And do you ever walk
Around feeling blue,
Wishing that we had talked
About me and you?
Do you ever? Do you ever?
Do you ever? Do you ever?
'Cause I do...

B:
Will I ever breathe your love again?
Will it ever stop hurting inside?
And will these nightmares ever end?
Will I wake up if I close my eyes?..

C:
Now do you ever sit
Alone in the dark,
Losing pieces and bits
Of your broken heart?
And do you ever walk
Around feeling blue,
Wishing that we had talked
About me and you?
Do you ever? Do you ever?
Do you ever? Do you ever?
'Cause I do...

Hallucination,
it must be the day for songs.
I liked the rhythm and flow of it I think it would make a good boyband song.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

Good start! Like Kethry, this had a good flow and I think would fit into the beat of an InSync group...

One suggestion.  Watch your spelling.  For example did you mean this?
quote:
The distand between us
or this?
"The distance between us".

I know, I know, one of those motherly nit-pick things, but just the very thing that would get it thrown out because the reader would thing the writer didn't care...

good luck with this! Let us know if you end up submitting it, OK?

Brian,
I listen to all the boy bands with my daughter and I can tell you this defiently will fit right in with them.
