Posted this in the lyric feedback section until I got clearance from the track owner...which I have now. This was my first time starting with an existing instrumental track (via SongsInc) and it won't be my last. I really enjoyed carving out a melody and writing lyrics to match. I'd appreciate any and all feedback. (Just be kind on the one-take vocal track...I don't claim to be a singer by any stretch. I'll get a real demo singer when things are ironed out a bit more.) Thanks! http://blamm.com/music/AintGivingYouUpThatEasy.mp3Ain't Giving You Up That EasyMelody/Lyrics: John Parker (ASCAP) Music: James Frank Grundler (BMI)[ verse ] I know this fire's burnin out Yeah, we both can feel it Two hearts just pretending We can't really see what's been goin' on [ pre-chorus ] Well, baby maybe we've had our moment I could step aside and let you walk away (but) [ chorus ] I ain't giving you up that easy Not about to watch everything fall apart Don't know what took me so long But now I see that I can't deny there's somethin' 'bout your love [ verse ] Maybe we took this road too fast Driving blind by feelin' The best of intentions can't hide all the places we got it wrong [ pre-chorus ] Now, I'm not looking for consolation Or reasons I should simply let you go ('cause) [ chorus ] I ain't giving you up that easy Not about to watch everything fall apart Don't know what took me so long But now I see that I can't deny there's somethin' 'bout your love [ bridge ] I believe that your love just brings out the best of me And I need you to know I'm not throwing that all away So you don't have to tell me [ chorus ] 'Cause I ain't giving you up that easy Not about to watch everything fall apart Don't know what took me so long But now I see that I can't deny there's somethin' 'bout your love I ain't giving you up that easy Can't stand by while we're heading for a broken heart Don't know what took me so long But now I see that I can't deny there's somethin' 'bout you I can't deny there's somethin' 'bout you I can't deny...

I like the passion and the way the song moves. It's modern country. I can hear Luke Bryan doing it.

Thanks, Jim! Hoping to get this to a demo singer soon, so if you have any suggestions on flow...wording...etc, would always love to hear it

I, too, like the passion & sincerity in this one, JP!!!
Last Bridge Line didn't grab me... Think just repeating "I'm not throwing that all away" would be more-powerful, leadin' into that Last Chorus. JMO!
Fine Job! Good Luck with it!
Best Wishes & a Big Guy-Hug, Stan
