Alex: Georgie and I have a long-standing songwriting collaboration history-- sometimes I write words for her, sometimes she does for me. Knowing how busy life is for her and me both... this go round we only have the one collab. I hope I did her great lyric justice!
Georgie: I don't have a lotta time this FAWM due to work constraints but Alex was happy for me to send him lyrics this time! I thought a father to daughter song could work nicely.
Alex: guitar, voice
Georgie: lyrics
Kiss The One Who Turns Back Time For You
Cooper/Klages
My darling daughter
I know you wonder about stuff
Ever thoughtful
You always ask me about love
Like how does it really feel
How will you know if it’s meant to be
C
Kiss the one who turns back time for you
Your heart will know even before you do
‘Cause love is the greatest gift in life
You’ll never know when it just might strike
So my child
You’ll find out in good time
That loving is
The true meaning of life
There really is no better reward
That’s the fairytale you’re waiting for
C
Kiss the one who turns back time for you
Your heart will know even before you do
‘Cause love is the greatest gift in life
You’ll never know when it might strike
Instrumental bridge
C
Kiss the one who turns back time for you
Your heart will know even before you do
‘Cause love is the greatest gift in life
You’ll never know when it might strike
Kiss the one who turns back time for you
Your heart will be there whispering to you
Just listen closely it will be fine
Be open, let it steer you right

Very precious lyrics. Very nice vocals and then the bonus scat. This is a lovely song :)

Sweet lyrics. Nice change for father to daughter instead of to lover.
Vocals and music sound great. Nice little scat

Cool adlibs! Ok, so this style of singing is called skat? I learned something new... *hmmm*

This is such a wonderful lyric! So evocative and poetic. And Alex’s dancing melody and cruising chords are a perfect match. I love the strength of launching the chorus on the five chord. Bravo! Great collab!

Lovely lyrics by Georgie and fine singing by Alex plus scat = an absolute treat!

Wonderful collab y’all! Alex, if you send me the file I’d really like to touch the mix up for ya. Just a little eq and reverb I think would make this shine…I hope that didn’t come across as jerky…it sounds great I just always wanna turn knobs and push buttons lol really lovely tune and even some skat!

I just love what Alex did with this! The soulful take was perfect...and of course I can't resist scat!
