A wonderful lyric by the talented Jennifer who I admire and music by Andy who I continue to be in awe of. I was asked to be a part of this amazing song and I feel so fortunate and am so happy with the outcome!


I'LL BE ON MY WAY on SoundClick


I'll Be On My Way
by
Jennifer (Jinx) Shaner

© 2010



I feel cold inside
despite the heat
Feel pleasure, yet pain
Love once made me whole
I’m now incomplete
and broken again

I look in your eyes
Which once warmed my soul
The fire’s now gone
There’s heat in your touch
But love is not there
It’s time to move on




(prechorus)
I must find the strength to run
I’m not the type to just have fun



(chorus)
Your promises mean nothing now
I need to break away somehow
Love is what I had but lost
Now it’s time to pay
I will not stay yours to use
I may be hurt, my ego bruised
But without love’s the meaning’s lost
I’ll now be on my way



An empty touch
Can’t fill the holes
When love is gone
Hiding my pain
I act out my roles
And try to move on

Ignoring the pain
I put on a smile
And face each new day
I know I was right
To push you aside
You were just in my way




(prechorus)
Within my chest my heart still bleeds
I’m dead and yet I live
And yet to taste what love can be
Again my heart I’d give




(chorus)
Your promises mean nothing now
I need to break away somehow
Love is what I had but lost
Now it’s time to pay
I will not stay yours to use
I may be hurt, my ego bruised
But without love’s the meaning’s lost
I’ll now be on my way

Nice job, Tam and everyone else involved! I like everything about this song!

very good indeed Jennifer/Andrew/Tammy


you can all be very proud of this one.......Tammy in your next life you should be a Nashville demo singer-you really have the vocal range for it......

Tom

I had to reach down and pull my socks back on a couple of times. Nothing like a front row seat! It works it works it works and if it ain't broke... Well done guys. I can't say enough.

Danny

Thanks Guy's, Tammy did an amazing job with this one. She really amazed me with her style and technique, she truly is a very talented lady.
The lyrics that Jen aka Jinx wrote for this are so good they just fitted perfectly to the track.
It's cool you guys like it and it's great to hear Tammy with a big ROCK track behind her vocals

Andy

Andy your music is so great...it makes any song become gold....glyn

Hi Andy, Jennifer and Tammy

Cool collab overall - I can only be impressed more and more with your growth and efforts. It's an interesting combination of a soprano vocalist and a rock song --- so very different on that front - and Tammy it's very nice to hear you With music. - there are always things I might mix or do 'different' if it were mine.... but they would be more personal choices -- not something to 'fix' -- anyway good work ! jm

Polly,

Thanks so much for listening, I am always happy to hear your take on things!!

Tammy

I like this very much. One thing I thought of is that in the vocals sometimes it is kind of cut short I would use some delay to let it ring a bit so it is not so abrupt. Thats about it

Love the music br toward the end. Really nice work

Hi Tammy, Jennifer, & Andy

Wow I just love this, and Tammy their is nothing stopping you now hah, Go girl.

My only suggestion that I felt was, I wouldn't of slowed it down after the first pre chorus and chorus, I would of kept up with the speed from their, (Younger generation attraction).

Great collaboration, I'm a fan!

Hugs Michele

Hi Tammy, Jennifer, Andy

You all went over the top with this one! Wow, this is really a great song

WTG!!

Dottie

Wonderful vibe here- musically and lyrically reminiscent of Evanescense. Love the overdriven guitar in the chorus- GREAT Riff.
The phrasing in the guitar lead is also quite tasty- clearly Andy knows his way around the fret board. The tone of the guitar, which sounds like a strat on the middle or neck pickup, is unexpected- I would have been looking for a screaming lead in this one- but it is a very pleasant surprise!
A very cool tune, the piano is beautiful and the guitar is a powerful contrast. And lyrically, the unrequited love theme with a sharper edge- I loved it.

What an amazing and haunting sound in the verse. I also love the prechorus buildup. I agree with Jeff about the 'Evanescense' feel. Somehow the chorus melody and the chorus musical chord progression seem to realy clash as if they were'nt in the same key or something. (Maybe this was intentional .. or maybe I'm just too traditional

Bridge/Outro is great ... with the singing "I'll be on my way."

Great recording, singing, and music.

Another wonderful song.

g

Awesome.

Great lyric, music, and Tammy it is wicked cool to hear you rockin' it with some music behind you! You go girl!!

Just fun all around. Keep up the great work, guys!

Linda

Tom: demo singer?! Nah!! Out there in the SPOTLIGHTS, baby!

That's where she should be

Linda

Hi Tam,
This is so cool, another hit to be, fabulous performances. Love everything about this song.
Lel

Had to come back and listen again, this is really a great song all around...love it..you guys out did yourselves on this..glyn

Wow! You both did an incredible job with this! I was happy and honored to write the lyrics for such an amazing track and Tammy, you have done a wonderful job adding the vocals! You have a beautiful voice and I loved the style you put into this!

Hi again Tammy, Jennifer, & Andy,

I thought I'd have another listen to see if I felt the same, Hmm, maybe, maybe not, maybe just a little faster then the first verse hah. Keep it or sweep it, just a suggestion.

Congratulations, I'm still a fan.

Hugs Michele

Hi to all,

GREAT WORK all over !

Tammy your vocals were just right

Andy-VERY IMPRESSIVE

and last but not least...Jennifer..
this is GREAT stuff... "I’m dead and yet I live"

Thanks for the cool entertainment !

Hi Calvin!
Thanks for taking a listen. I'm glad you enjoyed. I was pleased with the task of writing lyrics for this great track of Andy's. I never imagined how awesome it would sound with the vocals added. Tammy has done a fantastic job once again. I definitely have become a fan of hers!

Sincerely,
Jinx

YOUALL--

I love it--Haunting and pensive--WRITE ON--

Mackie

Thanks for taking the time to listen guys. It's still a work in progress and it might change a lot before it's finished as I'm a bit in two minds about the chorus section. Not with the vocals just the guitar part as the more I listen to it I get the feeling that it over powers the vocals. I might also change the style o the drums.

So the song will get tweaked a bit when I get a spare second or two.

But thanks for all of the support it mean a lot. I just love hearing Tammy singing with a full band behind her.

Rgds
Andy

OK, First-Off, This is a fascinating, Lovely, Haunting Song you've all put-together. Very Dramatic, Lyrically, Vocally, Musically..the Musical Shift from Verses to Choruses is VERY Dramatic. (Tho Tammy either needs to take a bit more time singing "YOUR promises"...or just drop the "Your" from line 1.)

The Guitar Work on the Outro, while truly elegant, runs this into the 4:28 mark...which makes for a pretty-hefty "Demo"..& may or may not help future Airplay Opportunities.

That Said, this is a Really BEAUTIFUL Sad-Yet-Survivor's Song, & CONGRATS to the Whole Bunch of Yas. Each of you are Powerful...United, it's downright Invincible what you're creating. Good Luck with it!

Best Wishes & Big Hugs,
Stan

Hey guys,

That is just friggen awesome!

This is a beautifully written song. (Jinx,you rock, girl!)

The music fits both the lyric and vocal very well.

The parts I'm hearing which may be touched up, (well, the part) is the pc and c, Tammy's vocal seems to begin to get lost in the music and is almost a background to it. Sounds like she needs to be a bit more out front, but other than that I can't find a damn thing wrong with it.
I'm going in for another few listens!If I'm not back in twenty minutes, leave me alone...LOL

Hi everyone! Everyone I know who has heard this song on Tammy's site has had nothing but praise! I've had several people asking me how they can get it. Thank you again Andy for giving me a chance to write the lyrics for this amazing song. Thank you Tammy for giving voice to my words. I love it more everytime I listen!

Hi Tammy. I was wondering how I can get a copy of this? I keep having to log on everytime I want to hear it, which is alot! I really love it!

Sincerely,
Jinx

Hi Tammy, Jinx, and Andy! I would really love to hear this song but for some reason, I have a lot of trouble listening to songs on SoundClick and SoundCloud--99% of the time I can't get the songs to play. MySpace, ReverbNation, box.net, YouTube works just fine. Hope you guys can post this up at a non-SoundClick/SoundCloud site.

Cheers, R1NGG1T

Wonderful job all three of you. You should be very proud of what you have put together.

Rod

R1NGG1T,

I have this song posted on reverbnation here:

http://www.reverbnation.com/#/tamsnumber4


Also, "I'll Be On My Way" and "The Dream" will both begin roation on an on-line radio station tomorrow:

www.hardcoremix.com

Thanks for bumping up the song!!!

Tammy

Hi Tammy! That's wonderful news about both songs. I love "The Dream" as well.It was the first one I heard of yours. Congrats!

Sincerely,
Jinx

Came back to listen again..and it's still sounding great...sounds like a hit to me...great song...see collabs can bring wondering things...glyn

Thanks Glynda! I keep returning for another listen too. Check out the radio site and vote for us!!!

Thanks,
Jinx

Great job by all three. Love the build-up to and through the chorus. Enjoyed my listen.

Rick

Jen, what radio site is it and i'll for sure do it.glyn

Hi Glynda! Here's the link. Click on the Vote link on the right hand side when you get there and scroll down 'til you find it. Thanks!

http://www.hardcoremix.com/

ok doing it now..thanks...glyn and you're welcome...

Thank you so much! I am thrilled Tammy did this. She has such talent and is great for promoting the songs as well. I don't know what to do most of the time. I just write.:)

The song is pretty, but listening to it hurts...

Please guys, do something about the mix. The pretty music is just on the right (mono) and Tammy´s beautiful vocals are just left (mono)...

Wow, this song could be a major hit if given a full production job.

One of those tracks that would work as an AOR number or as a trip hop dance track.

It's really poignant. The sort of piece that, once it's established in people's memories after the #1 hit single, I could imagine being used frequently to heighten emotions during tense scenes in TV programmes and films.

Someone has got to get you out of that bathroom-based home studio and into a proper recording facility, Tammy.

Andy is a major talent with the composition and the arrangement.

Great lyric too.

Hi Martin
Thanks for he listen but I think you've got something wrong with your setup. The mix is good.

Hi Steve,
Thanks for taking a listen to the track. It's still a bit rough but when Abbey Road is free I'll get it finished

Rgds
Andy

I didn't get that when I listened to it. I'd say there was something wrong with your playback system but, if it can separate a stereo mix like that, I'm impressed.

Hi Martin. I agree your setup must be malfunctioning. It plays fine on my computer and on the radio site it sounds even better! I was fortunate enough this am to go at just the right time 'cause they played it shortly after I got there. Thanks for the listen.

Sincerely,
Jinx

Hi Steve! Thank you for listening and commenting. I am so glad you enjoyed! Andy and Tammy have done fantastic with this one! Have you gone to the radio site yet to vote? We need votes to keep the airplay going. It sounds even more amazing when heard there! I appreciate the feedback. Even if it wasn't mith my lyrics I'd keep listening. I loved the track when Andy first sent it to me and I was a fan of Tammy's the first time I heard "The Dream". She definitely deserves the right to a real recording studio if she can pull off what she van in her shower! Have a great day!

Sincerely,
Jinx

Thanks Tammy! I had a listen and...

Wow... what more can I say

This is the kind of stuff I'd like to hear more of on the radio. Tighten up the production a bit and you're good to go. Overall, awesome job guys!

Tammy, you have a great voice--very distinct. Especially like your vocal performance on Sweetest Melodies.

Cheers, R1NGG1T

Hi everyone! I just checked the hardcoremix radio site and we have over 900 votes already! Not bad for the short time it's been there. Great job Tammy. I never would have thought to put it on such a site. Some people I talk to don't hear me when I tell them it is an online radio site. I wonder what would happen if enough people called up regular stations requesting the song? LOL.

Sweet!!!!
Great stuff, but the "I'll be on my way" line should really rise much more the end. I mean, more soaring, way above the instruments. I was dying to hear a stronger vocal in the mix.
Ott

Hi Ott. Thank you for taking time to listen and comment. Tammy has a great voice and has brought life to this wonderful song. It is doing well on the online radio site. It now has 1473 votes! Andy and Tammy both have some new songs posted too. I hope you will take time to go listen!

Thanks again!
Jinx/Jennifer

Great job on this song. I completely agree with the Evanescence comment. This song would be a good pitch for TV and film in my opinion.

Keep up the collabs Jennifer! Sounds like you're on your way.

Carlos

Hi Carlos!
Thanks for taking time to listen and comment. Yes this was a great collaboration. I loved the track the minute Andy sent it to me and Tammy is incredible. She has a great voice even without music but put when she sings with music it's amazing! I appreciate the comments.
Sincerely,
Jennifer
