Nothing here yet!

LOL


It's my wife's Birthday tomorrow, and being poor as I am, the only real present I have to give her, is a song.

I recorded it today, but I can't post it until she hears it first!

Look for it tomorrow morning...

Or maybe at midnight tonight, since that is officially her B-Day.

LOL

It's really pretty.

I think you guys will like it too!

Song is posted!

She loved it!



I NEVER LOVED YOU © 2010 Craig Maxim


Making love to me
You're so soft and sweet
Your love is all I need
Like a fragrance in the wind
I can feel it all begin
To set my senses free

----------- CHORUS ------------

If I ever loved you more
I'm so very sure
I never loved you at all

Cause if you ever felt it more
Then I don't know how
Cause I never loved you
More than now
-------------------------------


(Break)

Like a thousand violins
I can hear the love within
You are my heart's refrain
And when this life brings me to rest
I would save my final breath
To gently speak your name


(Chorus)

It's another great song Craig. Are you in a band yet or still doing the solo act? You're a phenomenal singer. I wouldn't mind having you sing in our band...

Thanks Bob!

I know one thing... It's catchy... which is always a mark of a potential hit, cause my step son only heard it once or twice and went around singing it the rest of the night, and woke up still humming it today. LOL

My wife was really touched, especially when the second verse rolled around, cause it is actually something I told her before we were even married... I had told her: "You know, I was thinking... how precious is someone's last breath? We can live without food for months... without water... only a week or so... but without breath? Mere minutes! So, how important would that last one be? If someone knew they were drawing their very last breath... what would they use it for? Well, I realized, that I love you so much, that I know... I KNOW... that if I was taking my very last breath, and I KNEW, it was the last breath I would ever have... I would want to use it, to say your name one last time, and tell you that I loved you."

So when she heard those words again, finding their way into a song for her, after 7 years now... yeah... tears started flowing.

Still solo. I really haven't had a chance yet, to find out what musicians are around here... Saint Marys, GA or Jacksonville (25-35 minutes away) but there is ALOT of musicians in Jax... It's a city of over a Million people now... If it's meant to be, I'll find the right group of guys again. Meanwhile I'm waiting on taxes, to get some of the equipment replaced, that I had to pawn months ago, so I can start getting paid for solo gigs, and I am thinking about joining Taxi, and still want to get some business coming through my Mom's studio. Hopefully, between playing out again, and doing some studio work, I'll be networking, and find some good players.

Thanks Bob... that would be an honor brother.

For a long time, I never thought I was good enough. I grew up traveling the road, from 12 years old with my mom's band... so I was always in her shadow, and SHE was a phenomenal singer... in her prime... she had Streisand's power, but with a more feminine voice. She would have been the Celine Dion of 35 years ago!

I made her a MySpace, and uploaded some of her Country originals (but she sings everything) that she wrote and sang... and they still sound really good, even though she was probably at least in her mid to late 40's when she laid them down...

Let me know what you think!

Not only is it a great love song, its just a great song. When it hits the air waves this will be a lot of people's love song to cherish.

Nice one, for sure, Craig.

Wow!

Thank you brother! That is really high praise.

I hope you're right.

That would be an honor though, wouldn't it be? To write something moving or memorable enough, that it became thousands of other couple's "song".

Yay!

I hope it does one day!

Thanks again, my friend!

Too much synth..

I liked the brush use on the drums..

Capt. Scott wrote:Too much synth..

Too much, or too loud?

Probably too much... I was being lazy and LAYERED instead of just inserting the syth-pad at key places.

Capt. Scott wrote:I liked the brush use on the drums..

Yeah, they're still canned, but I kind of liked that drum-kit myself. Went pretty well with the song.

Thanks for the critique Capt!

Don't forget to put your version of The Star Spangled Banner on your next platinum selling CD...

You got it brother!


Can I put it on one that just goes gold?

Alright... stop filling my head with these ideas!

Yeah, man! That's a really nice song, and it shows your vocal abilities well. Good Job!
