Best last chance

[Whatmysay]

Well it has been a while, busy work then holiday away from computer and guitar!!!!

Anyway this is first one in the barrel after a while. This is a very old song with a new Chorus; I just couldn't let the little guitar pluck/riff go. This Ch actually says it plain to the previous metaphor heavy version.

New guitar helped as well. Comments on lyrics, arrangement and recording all welcome.

Cheers

Burt

Best Last Chance

1
Diamonds in my pocket just might brake
With all of the chances I take

2
Find myself back here again
More things change more they same the same

Pre Ch
Leave me, never leave me
Believe me when I say to you

Ch
This is the best chance to ever exist
Our best last chance love
We’re getting too old to waste a chance like this
Best last Chance
Best last chance baby
Best last chance
Best last chance

3
Took me so long to write this verse
Before things got better got so much worse

I like it when a song has a single couplet for a verse. Four couplets = four verses . . . excellent!

Simple instrumentation, interesting chords, great harmonies.

Very soul . . . I could easily imagine Sade singing this.

You've done well.

Cheers Gecko and thanks for the feedback

Wow, Burt, I loved it. As GZ says, interesting chords. Reminds me of "Looking Out For Number One by BTO.

I love the recurring electric guitar riff.

I agree with Mike and Gecko, Burt. It's a very original and unique song. I like it.

Good job!

Cheers,

Thank you very much. I have had the riff for a long time, but had never found the right chorus until last month.

Cheers
