Story Behind The Song

I wanted to write a song like Sam and Dave's "Hold On I'm Coming" with the horn riff driving the tune. A proper old school, dirty, R&B, Motown song. I would love to hear this sung by a strong, female vocalist. My voice does not do it justice.

Song Description

A song about empowerment and being positive and recovering from a traumatic experience.

Lyrics

Verse 1
-------
Come break it to me, come help me through
Soft words be spoken, for I am blue
For our love has seen better days
And we all need love in different ways

Verse 2
-------
Can't you see I'm shaking, my soul's in need
A true love forsaken, not meant to be
Honey walk with me while I'm asleep
Baby give me a dream I can believe

Chorus
------
Brothers and sisters there's a problem with me
There's a hole in my heart for the world to see
Baby's left me, love has gone
And took a piece of my heart too

Verse 3
-------
Oh faith come closer and comfort me
Come dry these brown eyes, shine love on me
Start a fire that burns in my name
Lights my life and brightens my day


Chorus
------
Brothers and sisters there's a problem with me
There's a hole in my heart for the world to see
Baby's left me, love has gone
Took a piece of my heart too

Brothers and sisters there's a problem inside
My heart's wide open - open wide
Part of me is leaving, walked on through
Then left my heart wide open for you

Middle 8
--------
Colours fade and turn to grey
Burn so bright then drift away
When I close my eyes I know they'll still be there
Take a look in my direction
See no fire, no love, affection
I don't need your love or need you in my way

Slow Middle 8
-------------
Brothers and sisters I'll shine on through
My heart will heal that's what they do
Brothers and sisters shine with me
In time we'll both believe
Yeah yeah - whoo - this hole in my heart
Will fill with love in time
Yeah yeah - whoo - then you'll see
I'll be on top of the world top top of the world baby
