Hi all:

I haven't written anything new in about six months, so this is my first song of the year. I have the music and lyrics finished. I will lay down the vox over the next few days.

I typically get some great ideas for lyrical improvement here, so feel feel to voice your opinions, good or bad, if you have time. :-) Thanks!

It's a mid-tempo song.

The Promise of Your Love
Words and music by Joseph Spain

Produced by Joseph Spain

Verse 1
Take or choose
the one you'll follow
the harbinger of lies
You give or sell
for what he'll pay
a wanton asking price

Pre-chorus 1
You take it all
I'll come to plead
You take my soul
It's yours to keep
I live to make your heart complete
my hunger never cries

Chorus
Every night your spires surrender
Where angels fear to go
Why do you break my heart this way
What happened to the promise of your love

Verse 2
Live or die
my heart recites
the promises you spoke
The seal of trust
will never break
I kneel before your love

Pre-chorus 2
You take it all
In shame I'll plead
You take my soul
I'll be your slave
I'd die to make your heart complete
my hunger never dies

(repeat chorus)

Bridge
Sacrifice myself to love you
A passion burns but never feeds you
The purpose of my life's to love you
Please lay your heart in mine

(repeat chorus through fade)

Nice to see you back, Joseph! I look forward to hearing what you do with this.

Hotel business is crazy busy - which is good.
To help with the craziness, I have somehow managed to keep writing, just laying down some tracks on a new one this weekend as a matter of fact.

Get yours on tape soon, would love to hear those lyrics put to music.
