My co-writer, Michael Stephenson, and I have posted another song to our songwriting blog that we'd like to get feedback on. It's called "Don't Say It" and you can listen to it here:

http://writersofsong.wordpress.com/2009/11/14/dont-say-it/

We're looking for feedback mostly on lyrics and music/melody/arrangement. Comments on production value won't be too helpful, since this isn't a final demo track candidate yet.

Lyrics:

Chorus:

So don't say it, you know you can't take it back
So don't say it, you know you just can't take it back
So don't say it, you know you can't take it back
So don't say it

Every time we fight, it's always the same
You say the things you don't mean
You say all those mean things
All those silly and mean things
You put them out there
For me to reply to

Last night it happened again
I could see in slow motion
Your scattered emotions
Words were flying like arrows
That'd never return to the place
Where they should have remained

This deja vu makes me wonder why don't I just leave you alone
It's been running around my head for days and days
What you said

Chorus

It'll always be there, in the middle of us
Keeping our hearts a little cool to the touch
And gnawing at the back of your mind
What she said, remember what she said
Remember what she said, remember what she said
Remember what she said, remember what she said
Remember what she said, remember what she said

When you walk out and slam that door
I know I don't want to be here no more
It's been running around my head for days and days
What you said

This deja vu makes me wonder why don't I just leave you alone
And I long for the time back when we both were young
We knew how to shut up and say goodnight

Chorus

Hope you enjoy the song!

Thanks,
Mark

Nice bass line and general concept - good groove, too. I don't think I have anything useful to say about the lyrics - not really my forte. The rest is good, though - definitely a good start.

Thanks for the review -- glad you like the instrumentation/arrangement.
