The BIAB tracks included are listed at the end. I played Garritan CFX grand piano and also played the acoustic guitar short instrumental. Drums were Superior Drummer and Bass was Spectrasonics Trilian. The cello was very nice from BIAB and I also played in some strings but can't remember which product. Here is Donna's lyric: Let’s Face It (Lyric © Donna Evans and Music © Tony Cliff 2018) Verse 1 Your eyes used to melt into mine Your kiss tasted like cherry wine Used to stay up and talk all night You were the highlight of my life Seems our huggin’ days are through Lately something’s shadowing you More often you’re angry sometimes sad You say it’s all good but it feels so bad Chorus The way we were’s an old refrain It just happens no one’s to blame So if our love has come and gone Tell me now let me move on Tell me it’s over let’s face it If it’s over let’s face it Verse 2 Let’s talk about it decide what to do Don’t beat around it tell the truth Be honest don’t tell me lies Babe you know I can sympathise Part of me wants to hold on Wanted you to be my forever one It’s a hard break that I can handle Wanna’ manage collateral damage Chorus Bridge The smile’s gone from your happy face Take a good look in the mirror Cry a few tears until you’re clear There’s another love out there waiting Chorus Style is _READER.STY (Reader Songwriter Strings) RealTracks in style: 1856:Cello, Background PopCountry Ev 085 RealTracks in style: 2932:Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking SongwriterAlternating8thsQuinn Ev 110 www.tonycliffmusic.com http://tonycliff.bandcamp.com

Extra-fine progression, smooth vocals hinting at resignation, and a good, solid, and sad lyric. BIAB 2021 Audiophile. Windows 10 64bit. Songwriter, lyricist, composer(?) loving all styles.

The backing tracks compliment your voice perfectly as well. It reminds me a bit of really early Bee-Gees (pre-disco era). The chorus is nicely catchy too. Thanks for sharing! Cheers, Deryk
