Back from FAWM, I did complete it and create 14 new songs in the month of February!! This is one of those songs, thought I'd post it because it isn't sad enough around here LOL! Yes, the sad girl is back. I was very tired near the end of FAWM, so any mistakes made were from me falling asleep while I was singing (seriously, I did) WORDS CAN BREAK YOUR HEART on SoundCloudWords Can Break Your Heart by Tammy jann © 2018 Find the words that hurt me best was that one better than the rest choose the ones that will do the deed Make them sharp and make them sting and hope they cover everything fire them at me, make me bleed chorus They're carving scars pushing me down pooling in my soul making me drown I'm falling apart words, words, words can break your heart Mix them up and don't be shy lay them down to make me cry then start by turning another page Breaking me down isn't a crime So you're free to do it all the time I never thought it would be this way chorus They're carving scars pushing me down pooling in my soul making me drown I'm falling apart words, words, words can break your heart bridge Is there anything special that you see could you dig real deep and take another look at me chorus They're carving scars pushing me down pooling in my soul making me drown I'm falling apart words, words can break your heart Outro words, words, words can break your heart

Mike,
Thanks for the listen.
The three words line used to be different and I chose to repeat the words so that the listener understands that they are never ending and each one more painful than the next, an artistic and interpretive choice.
I love singing with piano, but sadly I can't play one and can barely play guitar, but we do what we can to get the song out of the gate.
I agree that transitions are always difficult and I try to take my time to get them figured out, but this was created in FAWM and I didn't have any time at all, but I wouldn't mind coming up with a better transition.
I have a personal attachment to the bridge and yes, as a woman who also knows many other women, I hear them getting torn down by their own family and friends and trying so hard to hope it will end and resolve itself, many women are trapped in relationships, having harsh words chip away at their very sense of self until they start believing it and some even take the blame for their situations and yes...they actually do hope that very same abuser would say something nice, just to have one good day or one good feeling. It is a truth, this song was a truth. The bridge was created to be emotional, like a cry for help, but again, the transitions for it might help it sit better.
Thanks again!
Tammy

Tams,
Lovely tune from start to finish--and those vocals . . . my, my, just beautiful. For what it's worth, the repetition of "words" is, IMHO, the way to go--it works perfectly for me. I can't see extending it vocally; the repetition adds emphasis and accentuated meaning. Pretty, pretty, pretty song! :-) Loved it.
Best regards,
Deej
