Hopelessly 4 U

Liner Notes
We've been knocking this idea backwards and forwards for the last few days, so thought we'd stop faffing and just post it!
Liam came up the initial chords and lyrics, then Matt laid down his beat. I added a couple of guitars (one space echo chimey type thang, the other more Soundgarden circa 1991) and did the mix.

If you've heard our first 3 choons hopefully the '4 U' in the title makes sense. If this is the first one you've heard from us, we've fallen into the idea of including the number of song we're up to in the title. A bit daft I guess, but it gives us a focus!
Lyrics
Hopelessly 4 U
With my favours on the ground and in despair
With the loving stare, cut through it somehow
With her hi lights in her hair and on the ground
Wish I hadn’t ever lost forever sound
With my halo rusting in the wind
I got more to listen to to begin
I have been hopelessly
Coming in stage joining my game, blowing in a rage
Winds blow me down, I have been hopelessly
Where are you? I be been hopelessly
I have been hopelessly
Where were you when I was reaching out
Drowning in the sand, wishing I can bend
In this version of me you be, no one betters the
I can’t be lost, I won’t return, I can never breath But it’s on me
I have been hopelessly
Drowning in the waves, I can’t complain
Wishing I had lost, wishing my love would stay
But that’s not me. That can’t be me
I was hopelessly - Falling for you, I was hopelessly
I’m on open ground,
Take it back don’t look around
Cos I’m on open ground
2 bars empty
I can not be seen, I can never see
That I was lost with you a distant memory
Taking up you time wishing on a dream
All that I can be is a memory
Taking up you time
Wishing I would learn, wishing that holding on to me
Cos I was hopelessly x 2
Waiting for you cos I was hoplessly
Lost on open aground, don’t look around

This song has an interesting structure and vibe. Enjoyed the lead and drum parts.
Are you listening to a lot of 90s these days?!
Track sounds great - the drums are ace, it makes such a difference to have real drummer, both in the speed to get the drums where you want them (drum programming takes me ages, but maybe others find it quicker), but the feel too; and they sound great. There are some echoes of early Pearl Jam in the vocal delivery that I really enjoyed. And the guitars, as always, just rock! Knocking it out of the park this year!
