For better or worse...sometimes we feel defined by the "Worse" but we are better than the lowest parts of our marriage.
I would like honest and unfiltered feedback
Thanks Corey, I agree. After writing this and recording it I felt the same way. Not a lot of dynamic. I like the idea but it could have come together a lot less sappy and more dynamic.

I like the lyrics a lot and I think the music creates the right feeling and atmosphere and fits well to the lyric.

Some really good lyrics here James, I also think a Build up is called for right here..Just my opinion, I mean those Lyrics are so powerfull it calls for a dynamic build up
“But we’re ready for the long haul
Not givin up
Though the gun is smokin’
Hearts are bleedin layin open
there’s more than you and me
than hopin
More than us
a promise is still a promise when it hurts and we are better than the worst”

Thanks Joseph, I feel like a producer could do something with this arrangement to make it a much more powerful song, and a big part of that would definitely be more dynamics. Thanks for listening and for commenting!

I have heard it again and it grabs me like it is and I don’t think it needs a lot of production (of course you could add an orchestra). The only thing I would consider is to shorten it a bit. At the end the melody is not that interesting, it lives more from the atmosphere and it should end before it get’s boring..

But we're in it for the long haul

We're not giving up

Though the gun is smoking

Hearts are bleeding laying open
G
There's more than you and me to hope in
A
More than us

Bm G A Bm G A
We are better than the worse
2 o'clock and we can't sleep
Caught up by the scores we keep
And the fear that we really are alone
Bridge :
G D
We're more than the stones we throw on a cold night
Em Bm
When the worst in us is all there is

We promised for better or worse so it's alright

When there's days like this
