about

This is a pretty retro sounding song that is written from the perspective of a woman whose man has done her wrong and she's having none of it!

The tech bit:-
Track recorded in Presonus Studio One v4 through a Focusrite Clarret Interface
Vocal mic was a Shure SM7b
All guitars recorded using a Kemper profiler. Profiles used were from the Selah Sounds Matchless pack and used the new Kemper spring reverb.
Drums were Toontrack EZ Drummer
Keys were a UVI piano and a Vox Continental (not a real one, the Analogue Lab 3 version!)
Plugins used were Decapitator from Soundtoys and Izotope Neutron / Ozone did pretty much everything regarding eq / compression
Finished off using Softube Tape and Presonus Console Emulation.

lyrics

(You won't believe me)
(But now you'll see)
(Just what I can be)
(Now I've been set free)

V1
In the cold blue light of morning
You ignored your final warning
And now begins the day that in my heart I knew must come
The day I learn to walk alone boy
And then you'd better run!

V2
I know you said you'd always love me
That there was no-one else above me
You thought of me as blinded by your love, a burning sun
Now I'll see you fall to pieces
I'll watch you come undone

Bridge
Did you really think you'd get away with doing all the things you'd do?
Did you think I'd sit alone and cry and keep my faithful heart for you?

Chorus
When you said that you would never leave me
But you went right out and started to deceive me
Did you think I'd lie here waiting while you went and had some fun?
While I lay there alone in your deceit
I grew a strong heart with wings and fast feet
Now I'm gonna fly like a bullet from a love-stained gun
Now you know you'd better run!

V3
And now our lover's sun has set
You can drown in your regret
You'll choke upon your bitter tears when you think of what you've done
How you had the moon and stars yet you flew into the sun

Bridge
And every time you think of me your cheating heart will turn to stone
And drag you to the bottom of a sea of tears you're drowning in alone

Chorus
When you said that you would never leave me
But you went right out and started to deceive me
Did you think I'd lie here waiting while you went and had some fun?
While I lay there alone in your deceit
I grew a strong heart with wings and fast feet
Now I'm gonna fly like a bullet from a love-stained gun
Now you know you'd better run!
