Faithful To The Unfaithful

[ontariolightning]

Hey, Lqrose and I co wrote this, I envision it as a big ballad with a Faith Hill or Martina Mcbride vocal, just wondering if there's anything we're missing and if it's worth pursuing for music, thank you, take care!Faithful to the UnfaithfulLqpickens / Aaron AuthierCopyright 2008CountryI can hear you on the telephone downstairsYour voice liftin' and you're talkin' like she's thereYou think I'm sleepin', dreamin' in our bedBut deep down I'm just scared to deathAnd, you don't think I know, butI have this feelin', real empty feelin'I'm filled with shame, but I still end up stayin'It leaves me kneelin' and prayin' for the strength to leaveI'm not feeling hateful, Just so tired of beingFaithful to the unfaithfulMy love for you must be an addictionOnly thing I've been doin' Is just givin' InBaby, deep down, we both know we’re lyin’And even my own tears are cryin’You don’t think I know, butI have this feelin', real empty feelin'I'm filled with shame, but I still end up stayin'It leaves me kneelin' and prayin' for the strength to leaveI'm not feeling hateful, Just so tired of beingFaithful to the unfaithfulMy faith In you Is long gone But I keep holdin' on, 'n on, n 'on, But..I have this feelin', real empty feelin'I'm filled with shame, but I still end up stayin'It leaves me kneelin' and prayin' for the strength to leaveI'm not feeling hateful, Just so tired of beingFaithful to the unfaithfulI'm not feelin' hateful, Just so tired of bein'Faithful to the Unfaithful

Title is memorable; the lyrics are conversational as they should be for country; the structure has you set up perfectly for V-Ch-V-Ch-Br-Ch. The only thing I'm seeing -- and this concern might be totally addressed when you set it to music -- is the line lengths. I'm expecting this will be a slowish tempo? I look at it again and think, nah, it'll be fine. Totally depends how you set it to music. My opinion is that you've got a great start with these and should definitely pursue setting them to music.

Hey sorry, thanks CK, we're going to put music to it, I'm thinking something like faith hill lost, mid tempo with a big voice, the melody will smoothen the lines out, thanks again, there is a rewrite and I will post it nowHey Erin, thank you!
