Here's a song that started from one of Bobby's beautiful piano tracks. Darlene supplied a great set of lyrics for me to sing to. Doc came along and added guitars, percussion, and addtional backups. I hope you enjoy it.

Bobby Watson - piano, keyboards, bass, drum programming
Darlene McCoy - lyrics
Henry (Doc) Mittnacht - guitars, percussion programming, backup vocals
Benny Moore - melody, vocals, mixing

LET IT BREAK
Bobby Watson/Darlene McCoy/Benny Moore

She has secrets she's never revealed
She thinks that no one cares how she feels
She's living a life that's made of glass
Looking through her window she sees all the cracks

(Chorus)
Let it break, let it go
Step on out, take control
A beautiful face shouldn't cry those tears
There's something out there far beyond your fears
Let it break
Let it break

Shattered dreams from the pressures of life
Hoping no one hears her cries in the night
She keeps her secrets underneath her smile
You can't see how she feels, but she's broken inside

(Chorus)
Let it break, let it go
Step on out, take control
A beautiful face shouldn't cry those tears
There's something out there far beyond your fears
Let it break
Let it break
Let it break

Very pretty tune.

Lovely change-up into the chorus.
Well done all round, Darlene, Bobby, Doc, and Benny.

Another one where Bennys genious comes up:
making a super tune out of an existing scratch of an idea

I had a lot of fun leaving common ground and trying out different things like programming percussion loops, drumpattern etc. and - of course - getting used to using melodyne on my back-up- whoooooohs

Doc, you really took this in a different direction, and if you remember, I was a little unsure at first. $:-\$ But I had to trust you knew what you were up to. Now I can't imagine the song without all your guitars, percussion and vocals.
