Don't Leave Me Now (original song, remixed)

Don't Leave Me Now is an original song, originally uploaded to this channel a 6 months ago. I'm leaving that original upload visible for now. There's an organic, raw quality of those earlier mixes I like, and people who enjoy the mixing and production side of songwriting may like to compare and contrast. One of these days I'd like to try my hand at mixing and producing a song by a fellow songwriter. The lyric needs no explanation, which is partly the goal of songwriting: to communicate emotional complexity in a simple way people can relate to without a need for footnotes. Don't be afraid to be simple, and don't shy away from cliches. Cliches work for a reason, and when used sparingly and strategically, they are among your best friends as a songwriter. Nothing screams amateur more than a forced attempt at being different or unique for the sake of being different and unique. I'm guilty of that often. About the melody, especially the chorus: There are little music things, motifs, sometimes a single chord choice that can elevate a song and be the difference between a good melody and a forgettable melody. We all have our little go-to tricks, idiosyncrasies, etc... One of my favourites is the flat-7 chord. In this C-major melody, that flat-7 (♭VII) would be the B-flat chord in the chorus. I always risk coming off as a snob uttering such stuff, but I'm always hoping to give pointers to new, up and coming songwriters who accidentally stumble upon this in future. Not that I'm qualified to give advice, but small tips that might give another writer something to think about. Famous examples of songs with the ♭VII: Lynyrd Skynyrd's Sweet Home Alabama; that glorious outro for Hey Jude by the Beatles; Dylan uses it a lot, such as in Knockin on Heaven's Door, All Along the Watchtower and I recall it being used to great effect in his song Not Dark Yet. I would normally be posting on Friday or weekend, but I've got a date tomorrow with a poker game, a lot of beer and a banker. I may upload something else on the weekend, perhaps another cover (re-working an Adrianne Lenker cover I did a few months back, also a Stan Rogers song I'm about to dust off and give another look). Otherwise, see you in about another week. #DontLeaveMeNow #OriginalSong #Songwriter #PianoBallad #SadSong #SadCore #SlowCore #gonebutnotgone
