The Great Big Deep (Casia-Christina)

[Casia - lyricist]

One of my favorite Christina songs.  Existing lyric modified to fit existing music.  Not sure when the backups will be added so I'm considering this done.

THE GREAT BIG DEEP
(c)2013 Casia lyrics modified by Christina Britton
All Music by Will
Vocals - Christina Britton

(V1)
There’s a battleship
At the ends of the Earth
Hovering on the edge
Where all good things are cursed
That is where I’ll be
While I’m waiting for you-ou-ou-ou
To hear your verdict
Am I safe or am I doomed

(Chorus)
Til then, I walk alone
Into the great big de-E-p
I need you to know
I always play for keeps
Til then, I walk alone
Into the great big de-E-p
Haunted by your words
Until I fall asleep

(V2)
Oh, I need one more kiss
To pick me off the ground
So I can slowly go
Where I can’t be found
Give me one more shot
For goodness sa-A-ke
My mind is fading
For this I need to be awake

(Chorus)
Til then, I walk alone
Into the great big de-E-p
Oh, I need you to know
I always play for keeps
Til then, I walk alone
Into the great big de-E-p
Haunted by your words
Until I fall asleep

Ooooh, oooohh
Walking in my sleep
Ooooh, ooooh
In the great big de-E-p
Ooooh, ooooh
I need you to know
Ooooh, ooooh
I play for keeps

(Chorus)
Til then, I walk alone
Into the great big de-E-p
I need you to know
I always play for keeps
Til then, I walk alone
Into the great big de-E-p
Haunted by your words
Until I fall asleep

Ooooh, Oooooh
That’s where I’ll be
Ooooh, Oooooh
In the great big deep

(Chorus)
Til then, I walk alone
Into the great big de-E-p
I need you to know
I always play for keeps
Til then, I walk alone
I need you to know
I always play for keeps

This sounds so cool, Casia and Christina! 

[Casia - lyricist]

Thanks Rogue and Tricia Delicia.  I appreciate you taking a listen and am glad you enjoyed.

[Casia - lyricist]

Okay, I've actually just loaded the "final" (first post).  Back up vocals by Will and a cool brass section added at the end.  Would love some critiques on this!

[Casia - lyricist]

Thank you Gary, appreciate your listen and comment

[CosmicDolphin]

This sounds really good Cas 

The production is great whoever did it? Sounds like something Billy would do, has a professional sheen.

I like Christina's vocals , apart from the last line that sounded a bit tacked on but it was well sung.

nice tune.
nice performances all around.
only criticism is just a personal preference... i would have liked to heard the vox sit a little mlre into the mix so incould hear the music with it a little more.
but again...nice tune.

Hey CD, how are you?  Thanks for the critique and a good one from you ... how unusual  .  The music, production and backup vocals are by the same guy - Will.  I don't know his last name, this is the only song I've done with him.  He's from Germany.

Thanks "rightonthemark", I appreciate your comment.  I will have to listen again and see if I can pick up what you are hearing.  My ears aren't great for the detail.  Since I'm the writer, my focus seems to be able to hear the words clearly and enjoy the tune .

I'm all the better for speaking to you 

I think what ROM is noticing is there's a distinct difference in quality between the all the backing and production the audio quality of lead vocal recording.

And I'm all the better speaking to you lol  .  Why would that happen CD?

Aww Happy 5th anniversary

I just read somewhere that a nice 5th anniversary gift is airline tickets or a cruise.  That may be in order since I don't remember getting anything for the last 4
