Years Go By

Verse 1:
Time just crawls
And then it flies
It picks up speed
As years go by
We get big
We grow old
Before we know
Our story’s told

Chorus:
Years go by
And pass
Before our eyes
But we’re
Side by side
As years
Years go by

Verse 2:
So much time
Has come and gone
But we’re still here
And holding on
We’ve both grown
We’ve both changed
And through it all
Our love remains

Chorus:
Years go by
And pass
Before our eyes
But we’re
Side by side
As years
Years go by

Bridge:
The world keeps
Spinning ‘round and ‘round
Years go by
At the speed of sound

Chorus:

Outro:
Your sweet love’s
The reason why
I love to watch
Years go by

Hi Tony

Yeah -- maybe rock it out s bit more

Double your vocal track/ pan and add some effect === to see what it sounds like -- I think it's a great band song and would love to hear more depth in the vocals.

Good stuff, though. ; ) jm

Hey Dan, my vocal can be a bit hit or miss and I tend to be
a bit reserved because of that so I appreciate your
encouragement and your comments, thanks,

Tony.

Hey Calvin, thanks for giving this one a spin, appreciate your
kind comments very much,

Tony.

Tony ... I like this! Very attractive verses. I wanted the tune to soar at your chorus! Just a suggestion!

Also a harmony at the chorus would be good addition!

Happy New Year!

Stan

Hey Joice, like the pan idea, could be interesting, thanks
for your comments,

Happy New Year.

Tony.

Stan, some good suggestions, I'll take them on board,
appreciate it,

Happy New Year,

Tony.

Hi Tony:

Very cool the way you brought the bass in!

The only suggestion I have is to introduce a lead instrument during the break.

Agree with Joice that the melody you've picked would make it work nicely rocked up - with a screaming guitar at the break.

Scott

Hey Scott, your right, feels like the break is almost waiting
to burst out, lead guitar would be the perfect route to
go, will rectify the omission, thanks for your suggestions,

Tony.
