"A Little Longer" original song by Kari Fleskes

There's nothing like the rain
that cries into the ground;
But to quench the thirst of summer,
sometimes the winter's got to drown.

There's nothing like the fall,
nothing quite like the jump;
But if you're too scared to risk it all,
why even bother waking up?

(Chorus:)
She'll hold it all
a little longer;
She'll hold it off
a little longer.

Suitcases on the street,
waiting for the cab;
Running from all the harder things
and shamelessly chasing the past.

Look into the mirror,
pretend the pain isn't there.
Just a girl playing poorly at charades
and nothing about that is quite fair.

(Repeat Chorus)

I agree with everyone, very smooth, nice voice, and you sound good. I would like if you could be a little louder so your voice is truly "out there". That's not a criticism, I just want to hear "you" better. Perhaps it's the recording. Outstanding, keep it up.

I've tried to remedy that by using a mic now. My new song "Home" is one that was recorded with the new setup and you can hear much better. I would love if you could listen to that one and let me know what you think? Thanks so much for stopping by

Much better Kari! sweet voice! Education. The more you have, the better equipped for life you are. Whether that be in music or whatever you choose, get an education so you can make informed decisions. Trust in the Lord. I wish you well.
