Description
Ok, here is my TUMi submission at long last. What started as “let me throw something together for the contest” turned into a small obsession over the past week or so. I decided to build as much of the song as I could from the loops, rather than just the minimum three required, so you’ll hear loops and pieces of loops throughout. I put a little MIDI bass line underneath for extra texture…but that and the vocals are the only non-loop bits in the song. The structure came together fairly quickly, but the small revisions and lyric writing became the monkeys on my back. I got a kick out of the experience of making this, so I hope you enjoy it.
Loops used:
TUMi-Rhodes Riff 1
TUMi-RockBeat7
TUMI-Rock Bass 1
TUMi-Guitar Melody 4
TUMi-Hi-Hats 1
TUMi-Horns Mellow 1
TUMi-Piano Riff 1
TUMi-Strings Mellow 3

Lyrics
[ VERSE 1 ]
You can lie if you want to.
It's all right. There’s nothing left to say.
Paper smiles we both see right through.
But we know things just can’t carry on this way.
Nothing new on the way down
Here we stand with nowhere left to fall
Need to move, though we’ve forgotten how
There’s nothing left to give when you’ve already given all
[ CHORUS 1 ]
All the while we’re still pretending
Our final chapter has no ending.
Holding out for one last good excuse
(for hanging on)
Lost before we ever started
Alone though we had never parted
And now we find we simply have no use
For love’s version of the truth.
[ VERSE 2 ]
Pair of hearts nearly broken
Just can't bare the burden of this weight
Though the words go unspoken now
There's still time to run before the pressure gets to great.
Each as blind as the other.
Both resigned, though no one laying blame.
Thinking back to the way things were
We rewind, but still the story ends the same.
[ CHORUS 2 ]
Same test passed down throughout history
To solve the riddles of love’s mystery
But somehow we just couldn’t find the clues
(along the way)
Sailed a course we never charted
A lesson for the brokenhearted
But now we find we simply have no use
For love’s version of the truth.
(love’s version of the truth)
You can lie if you want to.
It's all right. There’s nothing left to say.
Paper smiles we both see right through.
But we know things just can’t carry on this way.
Nothing new on the way down
Here we stand with nowhere left to fall
Need to move, though we’ve forgotten how
There’s nothing left to give when you’ve already given all
[ CHORUS 1 ]
All the while we’re still pretending
Our final chapter has no ending.
Holding out for one last good excuse
(for hanging on)
Lost before we ever started
Alone though we had never parted
And now we find we simply have no use
For love’s version of the truth.
[ VERSE 2 ]
Pair of hearts nearly broken
Just can't bare the burden of this weight
Though the words go unspoken now
There's still time to run before the pressure gets to great.
Each as blind as the other.
Both resigned, though no one laying blame.
Thinking back to the way things were
We rewind, but still the story ends the same.
[ CHORUS 2 ]

To solve the riddles of love’s mystery
But somehow we just couldn’t find the clues

Sailed a course we never charted
A lesson for the brokenhearted
But now we find we simply have no use
For love’s version of the truth.
(love’s version of the truth)
