In the Past

Description

The usual, broken relationships that don't ever seem to come back together. Logical suggestions never seem to work when it comes to strong emotions.

Lyrics

Everyone I know says I should love you, love you,
They say I should leave the past behind, the past behind
But I don't know if I can hold you like I did before so long ago in the past
And everyone is out running around having a good time, everyone is singing songs of joy but I don't if I can ever capture that feeling as I did so long before
There was a chill in the air when you left me
My life had turned an ice cold blue
The sunshine wouldn't even warm me like it did in the past

	nice bronc Thanks Bill for saying you liked my singing. I wasn't too sure if it was okay on this one. I know it wasn't perfect but I think it carried the emotion okay. Check out my latest song called Strange Feeling

	Really Liked the Song Style Bronco, Excellent Guitar Playing I really liked the repeats in certain sections of the lyrics brought a subtle emphasis to the basis of the song (to me) I think this is one of your better pieces you have shared on Macjams Great Performance There!

Sad, honest, blue
It's that time of year. This song reminds me of an old Joni Mitchell
song, River, sung to a minor melody of Jingle Bells:
It%u2019s coming on christmas
They%u2019re cutting down trees
They%u2019re putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on...

You have given us another sad xmas song, Tom, in the unique bronco
style. Excellent!

Check out my latest song called Keep Looking for Jesus (MJRF)

	Sweet and sad Well, you know me ... I love miserable songs. This is heartfelt and full of expression in the vocal and the music. Lovely twiddly bits on the guitar ... delightful. Check out my latest song called Amongst The Colours (w/ Luna Trick)

	Sweet and sad Thanks Rebsie, I'm sure I have a few more miserable songs left in me also. Those seem to come easily. It is the other kind I have to struggle to do. Check out my latest song called Strange Feeling

	as always! I reallylike your guitarplay, it is so alive and warm. I can say the same about your vocals! The violin is a nice touch. Since I am huge fan of songs about misery, I really liked this. Very nice production! Happy new Year! Check out my latest song called No One will be looking in the places that you hide

	as always! Thanks as always Sir Selters! You are a gentleman with sensitivity to be able to listen to my complaints and say they are enjoyable. Check out my latest song called Strange Feeling

	Tender... and also slightly chilling. Another great bronco song. And the production on this one is very nice too. Check out my latest song called Had We But World Enough

bronco	bronco said 1408 days ago (December 31st, 2005)
	Tender... Thanks for the kind words William! This is a song that was written and recorded some time ago and some people around me didn't like and said I shouldn't post. But in listening to it recently, I decided that I liked it and that is what should count. Sometimes I lack courage to post things I think will not be popular.

	Very stirring Wow- what a beautiful song while also being so dark and sad. Guitar was exemplary as usual and very nice use of the strings. Vocal is just dripping with emotion- excellent job on the song! Check out my latest song called Ballad of The Little Tiki

	mmm... the lament and sorrow in your song make tears taste so bitter and salty...my sympathy for the "I" in the song, who seems so lost and broken...the relationships is not the only thing that is broken...what can I say...forget about what everyone else thinks, says, or does...find yourself first...very sad song but beautifully played...all the best

Been listening to this lately...
I have been listening to this song, an i just have to say that there are to lines that work so incredibly well. "And everyone is out running around having a good time, everyone is singing songs of joy". It just strikes me! this tune is on of your hidden beauties that ttakes a few listens to apreciate the way it should be apreciated.
