A song I recorded 8 years ago still hunts me

Today, a friend of mine told me that another one of our songs has been uploaded on a local “YouTube like” site. Well, I was wondering some time ago if I should upload it myself or not, since this is a song very dear to me.

Seems that Costin (axlfuckinrose here), is the one who uploaded it in the end, so why not? The song is a pop-rock ballad recorded I think in 1999 or 2000 I can’t remember, it was from our pop-rock period, after we decided to forget the damn trends that everybody was trying to follow back then and go to for the good old pop-rock. Whatever…

Here’s the song:

The song is about 20 years old now, if I counted well, it is written by Costin and his guitar friends long time ago. Going together at some parties, we used to sing it with only one acoustic guitar and because it fits Costin’s voice perfectly, I insisted to sing it with the band, even if he had his doubts regarding this.I was mad about acoustic guitars at that point, I still am, actually, so the song was recorded in a small local studio here in Pitesti on an acoustic guitar, no electric, to give it that warm sound.The studio was in his beginnings also, not much rock recording experience so it was kind of test and research so the sound does not compare to the previous song I posted here, but I don’t consider this as an issue.It is in Romanian, so you won’t probably understand much of it, but I will try to put here a fast translation. It goes like this:

The song is called “Your eyes”

1) Your eyes haven’t yet faded inside me,
I still feel your hair on my forehead…

Chorus: My life is your life and would be a sin and dirty,
To regret anything…

2) I still feel your mouth on my lips,
Your body, I still feel it in my arms…

Chorus: My life is your life and would be a sin and dirty,
To regret anything…

That’s about all that it is, no solo, no big things, just 4 chords and a beautiful(IMO) melody. I think is one of the songs that I love the most, from that period when we used to play melodic songs, very much clean or acoustic guitar, man, I loved that period. Everyone of our songs could be played with just one single acoustic guitar and it sounded fine! We were in any moment ready for an unplugged show! That’s what I call music, songs that can be played on piano and acoustic guitar.

I still need those times, I think they represented me more even if I love the sound of a powerful overdrive and of an electric guitar. I love power metal, remember? But I do play this kind of music every time I have the opportunity!

Don’t judge the sound, just listen the song…

By the way, the picture represents us back then, I think. Can you tell which one is me out of that picture?
