“Come in, Colorado” is your basic “don’t-know-what-you-got-till-it’s-gone-song”. Our fateful hero in this tune mistreats his lady to the point that she splits to Denver. Time has passed, things have changed, and guess whooo’s soooo-rrryyyy?!
This is as mellow as I’ll get… promise.
It has potential
Needs to be livened up a bit
Needs stronger music
Needs less words/story
Being a stickler for grammar, you should change:
“but Denver gave you the try (tree),
Searching for meaning,
and no space for you and I(me)”
Just kidding…as a poet you’re entitled to put some “english” on your lyrics.
Good song but I liked the first one better.
Cheers Al
12:32 am, eh? someones eager… Keep it up! I like this one better. It has more soul than the last.
More Dynamics please. I am not a fan of fade-outs though; it tells me “I couldn’t come up with an ending.
Music: Your “musicians” are OK with waiting part-way through the song to come in and it will give us a chance to “discover” new things in the song as we listen.
Lyrics: Clever, but I don’t believe you. Can you say it with less words? I love the “i-am-the-airwaves-you-are-the-radio” approach to the writing.
just an addition: I have listened to the song about 6 times when commenting. Now I can’t stop singing it.
Man, am I impressed. There are some voices that I love listening to: Elton, Billy, Eliot! And I love your music too. If you find it your heart, can you pass along lyrics and fake chords sometime - I wouldn’t mind tinkling away at your music from time to time.
definitely catchy! found myself swingin’ and hummin’. loved the vocals. not too mellow for me - I liked it more than the first. liked the passion and feeling. loved the lyric about “when you held your body to mine, nothin’ had nothin’ on you” - sexy. wanted more at the end.
looking forward to next week. keep it up.

I like this demo in that the arrangement is sparse to fit the feeling of lyrics and emotion in the singing. You know where my heart lies and I don’t believe you when you say this is as mellow as it gets! It’s a good song - I think my mom would really like it.-\oo/
I like it. It has heart.
HI, EL: This one is me fave so far, but Colorado has great imagery that you don’t use. I would research THAT well, and move away from the radio angle. Plead with her to….”Come Back To Colorado”….Our love was meant to echo from every canyon wall… etc etc. More tears. You’ll break hearts left and right.
I love the intro. I was captivated.
I like the first 3 lines best and this line “brighter than truth”
I agree that it could use some poetic flare in the lyrics, but good song. Back up vocals would be a nice addition if possible.
Nice job.
Hey Eliot!
I really liked this song! I’d put it on my MP3 and it would fit right in. So far, it’s my favorite-even though I’ve only listened to the 3 of them!
Ciao
Carmen etc…
You had me at “You Came On Like A Comet….”.
Lovely lyrics. Nice arrangement. Now how about some fretless bass winding it’s way through there. Or what if halfway through the song, drums kick in and it takes a step up volume-wise. Or maybe I’ll just go now…..
Honestly, I thought it was kinda forgettable. I think I’d hear it on the radio and go “Oh that was a NICE song”
Good comment, Mike. I think this is the most forgettable effort so far, too. And there’s nothing worse than being “niiiice”. Yuck. I feel all syrupy, sticky now.
Sorry buddy not really impressed …. dont get me wrong I still think its amazing work arranging a song in a week, I just think, not really my groove.
