Song Description

Reviews Hi! Love your song and your voice. Your voice is perfect for the genre with excellent pitch and dynamics. The lyric is quite good, also. - Double Trouble I really like the instrumentation and the vocal quality of this song. The lyrics are difficult to hear sometimes. Had to listen a couple of times to try and understand the theme. But I think it's about someone passing away and the feeling that someone close to them felt. I think the words could be arranged to tell the story clearer or in a more popular theme pattern. But I love the arrangement and the vocal production. - Nabii

Lyrics

TOMMY
(STEVE DAFOE 2006)
(COPYRIGHTED)



VERSE 1:

BEFORE THE DAYS OF NOW AS
POWERFUL IMAGES STILL REMAIN
HE WAS BARELY A YOUNG MAN WHEN
HIS HEART STOPPED IN THE DARK RAIN
A BEACON OF HOPE IN AN UNCERTAIN WORLD


CHORUS 1 :

I STILL HAVE TO CLOSE MY EYES AND PINCH MYSELF TO
REALIZE THAT YOU'RE NOT HERE AND THAT YOU'RE REALLY GONE......

A LIFE SO BRIGHT, JUST A SHINING LIGHT, JUST A FRIEND TO ALL...
YOU COULDN'T OVERCOME...YOU JUST COULDN'T WIN THIS FIGHT

OH SO TOMMY....WHY DID YOU HAVE TO GO?
OH TOMMY...THAT WAS THE DARKEST OF NIGHTS........


VERSE 2:
AS THE THUNDER ROLLED AROUND AND
ON ANOTHER DAY OF FOG AND DARK RAIN
GOD MAKES A CHOICE FOR HEAVEN AND OR HELL
THE SILENCE OF THE PAIN AND SORROW ONLY
BROKEN BY THE RINGING OF CHURCH BELLS



CHORUS 2:

OH OUR TOMMY TOMMY...WHY DO THE GOOD PEOPLE ALWAYS
.... ALWAYS HAVE TO GO?

YOU WERE MY BEST FRIEND AND YOU BELIEVED MORE IN ME THAN
I DID IN MYSELF.......

OH SO TOMMY........WHERE ARE YOU KNOW?
OH TOMMY........WHY THE FINAL BOW?



VERSE 3:

BACK THEN I COULD BARELY COMPREHEND LIFE
LET ALONE THE MAGNITUDE OF DEATH...
FOR HIM...NO FUTURE...NO DREAMS.....NO WIFE
THE MEMORY OF THE HORROR MEANT
TOMMORROW IS PROMISED TO NO ONE.....

Very touching and well arranged piece with very appropriate instrumentation and really good vocals.

oh i like the start of this song----------it is a true story i am sure, great singer, did you have to go, what a beauty of a name.
nice recording, the producer on this one gets an A, and they are very hard for a music teacher to give.

Keep Making Great Music!!

Lovely vocal performance on the track.

Great production and a beautiful voice to top it off ! Good work

First impression was a song called "It ain't over Til It's Over" I think Lenny Kravitz sings it (Don't Hold me to that though. It has a 60's-70's feel to it. It would be a good song for a movie or sit com.
