Hi all,
I'm not used to write lyrics in english and Thierry Fraisse isn't used to sing in english...But, we've tried!

https://soundcloud.com/christian-devienne/i-dont-want-to-hold-you-back

Certainly
Yes, I would miss you
But you’re free
To try something new
I don’t want to hold you back
Act as you feel it

If you know
Greener grass elsewhere
You can go
Instead staying there
I don’t want to hold you back
Leave if you need it

Love is not
A so simple game
There’s a lot
People with no flame
I don’t want to hold you back
But stay if you wish it

I like your song, it's still a French song, even with English lyrics.

The song sad and intimate. Your vocals are perfect for that mood.
The arrangement is spot on and works great against the lyrics.
Your choice of real tracks for this piece is excellent.
Production is spot on excellent job

Very well done! Great prosody and production along with a beautiful voice. Love the mandola and mandolin choice and then ending with the dobro (aka, resonator guitar)!

A nice calm song about love being lost.
Your vocalist did a fine job.
Thanks for sharing.

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

Chris...I really like your track and your great use of the BiaB tracks you selected...Thierry has a great voice (very expressive and passionate)...I do believe the song would have been expressed better in French (IMHO)...but gorgeous in any language!

Tried my foot, you two nailed it!
Great vocal and lyrics.
Super backing band and mix.
This is really a fantastic song.

Chris & Thierry ...

No apology needed. The lyric is excellent. And Thierry sang it with excellence. He has a very expressive voice and the sadness of the story comes through perfectly.

The backing tracks are wonderful! This is an extremely-well and nicely-delivered song. Excellent work by both of you!

On Soundcloud, the singer is Thierry.
And on YouTube the singer is Julia.
