SHE USED TO BE MINE
Mix some moonlight with a memory
and a broken heart will come to life
I took my chances with bad romances
now I'm paying for it every night
I loved her deeply, gave trust, completely
and learned a lesson that I can't forget
She found another, and walked away
but I haven't stopped loving her, yet
She used to be mine....
She used to be mine....
She used to be mine....
She used to be mine....
So she used me, so what else is new?
It happens all around the world, each day
She had me fooled, don't know what to do
and if I saw her, don't know what I'd say
Loved her completely, til she deceived me
and left me here, with my broken life
now only one thought runs through my mind
and I'm screaming it, every night...

If you're wondering how I got the effect on the vocals, it is NOT Autotune or a similar clone. I used a program called AnalogX Vocoder. You record an instrumental line, sing along with that line, and then Vocoder uses your voice to modulate the instrument so that it sounds like the instrument is singing...
It may be necessary to redo the instruments for this song. If that is the case, I am willing, but is there anyone out there willing to participate???

I wouldn't mind helping out on this. I'd kind of like to see it recorded with a better tone for the guitars and drums tbh.

LOL, those aren't drums, I tapped them out on an old Yamaha keyboard I had at the time, and it took me HOURS to get them where I wanted them. The Bass guitar was my clean guitar pitched down an octave (I didn't have a bass, at the time).
I would love to redo this, and get everything crystal-clear and tight, but I guess we'll have to see who's interested, right?

Right on. I figured it was programed somehow. I'd be glad to get some bass on this for you, and I'll give you a vocal audition as well if you like.

Okay, I'll try to have a basic track laid down in the next 24-48 with click and guitars... I'd do it right away, but I have to work :-(

Ok, I'll keep an eye out then. I'll try to get you an audition up off of what is here when I get home from work in a few hours anyway.
