    I am not sure if this is the right place to post this, or if it would be in Artists Gallery, so if a mod wishes to move it please do so.

    That out of the way, I downloaded the music studio programme FLStudio and have been playing around with it on and off for quite some time. This summer I wrote the instrumental portion of this song, and near the end wrote the lyrics. After letting it lie dormant for a month or two I decided to try to do some vocal work.

    WARNING:
    1) This is the first time I have ever tried to sing and record it (and it seems I am bloody awful at it >_>)
    2) This is the first time I have tried to make a song in FLStudio, or ever for that matter (and I don't think I am much of a natural at that either)
    3) This was made entirely on my laptop, and the vocals were recorded using my crappy built in laptop microphone (doesn't help my already poor vocals)

    So I decided I would post my version, an instrumental version, and the lyrics so if anyone else wished to they could record their own vocals for the song.

    I'd love to hear your overall opinions (please don't just say "it sucks" though...I know it does, but I'd like to hear what exactly I could improve, and even maybe suggestions on how to do so) and if anyone was up for it their own versions of the song.

    Lyrics:

    [Verse 1]

    During autumn we met in between
    The darker moments of the obscene
    The time that hid there seemed like a dream
    Ushering inwords we couldn’t mean
    As kisses fell freely as the leaves
    The word forever we each believed
    A concept beyond what we’d conceived
    I should have known I had been deceived

    [Chorus]

    This is what we are
    But I don’t know why
    After all we’ve done
    It will simply die
    This is what we are
    But I don’t know why
    After all we’ve done
    We must say goodbye

    [Verse 2]

    That winter it all was coming clear
    And I saw that you were never here
    Face to face with all I had to fear
    Oh please tell me: where are you my dear?
    But no reply ventured through the frost
    No attempt to re gain what was lost
    Oh how it hurts to be double crossed
    Stinging tears and sobs bound to exhaust

    [Chorus]

    This is what we are
    But I don’t know why
    After all we’ve done
    It will simply die
    This is what we are
    But I don’t know why
    After all we’ve done
    We must say goodbye

    [Bridge]
    How could I get thrown away?
    What do you have left to say?
    How could I get thrown away?
    What do you have left to say?
    How could I get thrown away?
    What do you have left to say?
    How could I get thrown away?
    What do you have left to say?!?!?!

    [Chorus]

    This is what we are
    But I don’t know why
    After all we’ve done
    It will simply die
    This is what we are
    But I don’t know why
    After all we’ve done
    We must say goodbye

    Goodbye.
