Nick Solish - How Many Times (original song)

There was a time when we kept a hope alive, that we'd always be eachother's lovers

But now that you're gone and we just talk on the phone, our distance always seems to hover, and

How many times will I call you on the phone, knowing that you won't be there to answer

And is this a sign that we're losing control, and I'll never be your cosmic dancer

Never get back together

Now I live alone and our future is unknown and so there's little that can hold us together

Time moves along, and I'll write another song, but these memories they pass like the weather

I like this song, but I think the music gets lost in the constant singing. For example, instead of "knowing that you won't be there to answer" you could say "knowing you won't answer". The second gives you more freedom to hold or end singing notes as well as jazzing up the guitar part. It also broadens the meaning - maybe she is there and just chooses not to answer.

This is on the top of my mind because a buddy just trimmed the lyrics of one of my songs and it really is much better.

I'll give this suggestion a try too and see how it sounds. Sometimes the lyrics do overpower the melody and detract from the song itself, so I'll definitely give this a try. Less is more, eh?

Thanks dude. I had a lot of fun writing this song. I'm always fighting to make them catchy but meaningful. Glad to see people are enjoying them! Check out "Your Plane Arrived" if you get the chance. I also really like "The Weasel."
