Hi folks
I was referring to this older song of mine as an example on a writing topic elsewhere here, and looking at it again through different eyes, I am thinking I might redo the music for Amanda completely. It was originally played in a moderate tempo finger style on a DADGAD tuned guitar but I am thinking of making it much more up tempo. While I polish off a couple of more recent efforts, I though it would be fun to see what others here think about a style to suit these words. Feedback is welcome.
Amanda
1. Amanda there’s someone here needs you
Has the needing made you tired?
Amanda there’s someone here wants you,
Has the wanting quenched your fire?
Love is captive to desire.
Amanda, Oh Amanda
2. Amanda your eyes never wavered
When the stranger took you in
Amanda your eyes never told him
Love is ugly, Love is sin
Light is fading, growing dim
Amanda, oh Amanda
CHORUS: Amanda, mother’s child
I can see in through your windows
I can hear it in your sighs
Amanda, Mother’s child
I can see in through your windows,
Amanda
I can see in through your windows
Amanda,
Oh Amanda
INSTR Bridge
3. Amanda the children are watching
Who can tell them what to see
Amanda their eyes are like oceans
We are drifting out to sea
Life is fleeting, let things be
Amanda, oh Amanda
CHORUS: Amanda, mother’s child
I can see in through your windows
I can hear it in your sighs
Amanda, Mother’s child
I can see in through your windows,
Amanda
I can see in through your windows
I can see in through your windows
Amanda
Oh Amanda
