Story Behind The Song
Professional Review by Aremi Legard, Bremen, Germany
Wonderful song - very prof! You made a cool work. Your voice is very good and you can use it. That your song is made only with guitars is great. The mastering could have a bit more workout and the guitarsound on the left side is not really in the mix (pan and volume). But this is not really a problem.
Only the originality is in the middle, but I think you know by yourself, that your song is more mainstream.
All in all you made a great song and I wish you the best
for your work and future.

LOVE AND THE LEAVING
( STEVE DAFOE 2007)
(COPYRIGHTED)
CHORUS :
Fmaj7 C Cm7 (or go to G)
LOVE......LOVE .......LOVE AND THE LEAVING
LIKE LIFE.......LIFE.......THEN DEATH AND THE GRIEVING
LIKE ONE......ONE.......ONE TO THE OTHER
THAT'S THE WAY THEY ARE........
G A
LIKE YOU AND ME
G Fmaj7
YOU AND ME
VERSE 1:
5th Fret + 7th Fret (High "E") 3rd Fret + 5th Fret (High "E") (Alternate High E)
I BREATHED MY FIRST KISS WITH YOU IN THE PAST
YEARS OF US GROWING UP IN THE PLAYGROUND
C Fmaj7
WE LAUGHED AND FOUGHT JUST THE TWO OF US.....
A SIMPLE LIFE DURING THOSE SIMPLE TIMES
5th Fret + 7th Fret (High "E") 3rd Fret + 5th Fret (High "E") (Alternate High E)
WE HUNG ON TIGHT...CAUSE IT WASN'T GOING TO LAST...
VERSE 2:
5th Fret + 7th Fret (High "E") 3rd Fret + 5th Fret (High "E") (Alternate High E)
THEN CAME THE DAY YOU LEFT WITH UNCLE SAM....WAY TOO FAST
I WAS JEALOUS THAT YOU WOULD NOT COME BACK
C Fmaj7
I WAS HATEFUL THAT YOU COULD NOT COME BACK.
A COMPLEX LIFE IN A VERY COMPLEX TIME
5th Fret + 7th Fret (High "E") 3rd Fret + 5th Fret (High "E") (Alternate High E)
I HUNG MY HEAD, 'CAUSE I KNEW IT WAS GOING TO LAST
VERSE 3:
5th Fret + 7th Fret (High "E") 3rd Fret + 5th Fret (High "E") (Alternate High E
YOUR DEATH IS JUST ONE OF WAR'S SHAMEFUL CRIME'S
MY LOVE IS NOW GRIEVING YOUR LIFELESS FACE
C Fmaj7
YOUR RIGID BODY IS ALL THAT REMAINS OF THE YEARS
OF PLAYING AND LAUGHING AND LOVING IN THE PLAYGROUND
5th Fret + 7th Fret (High "E") 3rd Fret + 5th Fret (High "E") (Alternate High E
JUST LOVING AND BEING IN MUH SIMPLER TIMES........

Nice guitar playing. Enjoyed the pan of parts of guitars. Could hear this in a film in a "parting scene."
