As always, any and all crits are welcome, while first impressions are most welcome Thanks, in advance “If It Weren’t For This Fire” Words & Music by Thomas Tognaci https://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=14563994 If hell is cold, then it’s cold as hell in the far reaches of space yet here I am at this wishing well just dreaming of your embrace All my hopes, every last red cent pray this ole well is heaven sent Near lost and almost frozen if it weren’t for this fire, I have with you All my hopes, down this well, I send If it’s not to be, it’s to be my end Long lost in a world iced over if it weren’t for this fire, I have with you If hell is dark, then it’s dark as hell from the far side of your moon Just where I am I can only tell From your love I've been marooned.

I believe this lyric deserves a more "melancholy" treatment. But, hey, what do I know lol? My opinion changes with my mood https://www.soundclick.com/artist/default.cfm?bandid=1449856

I will say that "if it weren’t for this fire, I have with you" seems a tad crunched for time, but other than that, well done. https://maccharles.bandcamp.com/ https://soundcloud.com/mac-charles

Bet it was no fun chewing bones in the cold night air. Can't help but wonder what the resolution was once the intended love heard the song, and did it bring more fire and passion into love life. Now for a more humorous look at the same topic.

Just Plain Quotes

"A lot of people will tell you that preparation is what will make you successful. But I think that people misunderstand exactly what that means sometimes. The type of preparation you need most is the kind that allows you to instantly seize an opportunity, change your course based on a momentary circumstance, and grab hold of the totally unexpected when it happens, and allow it to take you for the ride of your life! That is the kind of preparation that can lead to the most enjoyable type of success." -Brian Austin Whitney
