This week’s SES prompt was a bit easier than the last one. Heck, I even got done writing and producing the song in under seven hours. That’s a first for me. Moreover, I like this one a little better than the first song, Standing in the Rain. I think I’m getting better at this. Well, I hope so.
Here’s my offering. By the way, I had to go the opposite direction as the phrase “Wait For Me” reminds me too much of the old Hall & Oates song. Love the tune but didn’t want mine to sound like it. Anyhow, without further ado…
Don’t Wait For Me
Don’t wait for me
Ain’t coming back to you now
Don’t wait to see
Where this may lead us somehow
I don’t believe it’s wrong
I’ve just been waiting so long
I hang my head low
As I try to find myself again, so
Don’t wait for me
I’ve given all I’ve got
It’s just not in me
To try to be the man I’m not
Can’t we be fair
Seems like we’re going nowhere
Go ahead and keep the door shut
And keep the good ol’ memories, but
Don’t wait for me
Please let me be on my own
Oh can’t you see
Right now I just need to be alone
Nothing else to say
Well then, I’ll be on my way
Nothing else to do
But just one last thing to remind you
Don’t wait for me…

I love it, quite catchy, I do it better than your “standing in the rain”, this is sad for the girl but quite happy for you, guess, some of us really needs our own space
uh-oh, I really should re-read before hitting the submit button, I meant – “I do like it better” .. always seem to be missing words when I type out my thoughts, sorry, here it is again:

Chris, you’ve done it again. There is such a feelgood vibe to this song. It is as good as anything you hear recorded by the top male contemporary singers on the charts now. So tell me, when’s your CD coming out? I mean it. If I had a label I’d sign you up right now. XX00
Chris you are an gem!
Great work, Chris. Thanks for posting it. David
Great song, Chris. I enjoyed both this song and “Standing in the Rain” You’ve got a very good voice.
Really nice Chris, I very much like the positive feeling of potential in this. Thanks.
