Heartbroken

Featured Replies

Hi everyone, just wanted to share a song I wrote and produced. I'd love to hear what you thinkHeartbroken (master).mp3

Cool, I like changes in rhythm and the bass... I had the feeling of listening to The Smiths, the voice of the singer is soft and beautiful.

Hi, thank you, appreciate it!

Edited by Aled Edwards

I enjoyed it!  There is some tonal ambiguity in this.  It's unclear whether your chord progression starts on the bVI or the IV.  Assuming that the piece is in a major key the progression is IV, ii, I, vi.  In a minor key it reads as bVI, iv, bIII, i.  From the introduction and the end I infer that the key is major though.  I could listen to this over and over without getting tired of it.  I just wished I understood all the lyrics.  Would you post the lyrics here in the forum for us to read?  I like how the singer spends most of the time on the major 3rd - it's a great mood you set here.  Great job!

Hey, thanks, glad you liked it! And yes it's in a major key. Here are the lyrics:

Overcast with no sun, on a rocky beach
Seems to fit the mood, I wait for you
Show up and you're late, going a different way
Seems like our time, it has run out
 
Heartbroken, you've left me heartbroken
Harsh were the words you said to me
I'll take my turn in misery
 
Three weeks have gone by, and I just pass the time
Dimming all the lights, I'm on my own
You are not that great, I have seen of late
Can't believe that I thought you were the dream
 
Heartbroken, you've left me heartbroken
Harsh were the words you said to me
I'll take my turn in misery
 
Heartbroken, you've left me heartbroken
Heartbroken, you've left me heartbroken

Ever heard of Steely Dan? Not that your music sounds similar, but they had a cool way of writing lyrics that were dark or sad underneath the surface of upbeat groovy music. I like that clash, nice work! Post more of your work mate 😄

I like it. Very light and "comfortable" song. I would say the song, you can listen to the replay. The soloist's voice is super. But in my opinion, the melody is too cheerful for such a name, although everyone has their own vision)

Hi, thanks! Yeah, I was going for a bit of contrast
