Lyrics

GONE BABY GONE
(STEVE DAFOE 2009)
COPYRIGHTED)


VERSE 1:
YOU WERE ONCE THE BEST THING
BUT NOTHING LASTS FOREVER, DOES IT?

NEVER THOUGHT THIS LOVE WOULD QUIT
BUT I GUESSED THAT YOU GOTTA KNOW
THAT IT'S TRUE , SO STARTS THE SORROW

YEAH GIRL IT'S TIME I'D BETTER GO, just go


CHORUS:

SO TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT ME BABY BABY
BECAUSE I'M REALLY DONE BABY JUST DONE
TAKE A LAST LOOK AT ME , CAN'T YOU SEE?
'CAUSE I'M GOING BABY, YEAH BABY




We really tried and tried to be satisfied

Until we have nothing left to give
So if spring is renewal, then fall is the loss

And that is the season of our love



THERE'LL BE LOVE AGAIN FOR YOU AND ME
SPRINGING UP WITHIN LIKE A FLOWER
MAYBE I'LL LOOK BACK A LITTLE WISER
BUT TODAY, THERE'S "JUST SOUR NO SWEET"
YEAH, NO SUGAR JUST SOME SOUR DEFEAT



SO TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT ME BABY BABY
BECAUSE I'M REALLY DONE BABY JUST DONE
TAKE A LAST LOOK AT ME , CAN'T YOU SEE?
'CAUSE I'M GOING BABY, YEAH BABY


YOU WERE ONCE THE BEST THING
I'M GOING BABY, YEAH BABY

Very unique voice. The pitch is right on. Nice recording of the rhythm section. I like this song. Great sax solo!!

- Paul Messina

Nice straight-ahead jazz groove.

- Lee Holloway

Great vocal! Perfect for this nice brushed/shuffled jazz vibe. Very cool bass and piano along with the light drumming and considerate production give this a nice, live lounge feel. Tne sax solo is smooth, short and sweet. All around a great tune! Well done!

nice jazz tune dig bass standup

Sweet jazz trio with female singer. I totally dig this piece

Really, really cool song!! Love the old club jazz vibe! The singer has tons of personality, and a really natural, comfortable style that fits this song so well. THere are some wonderful lyrics. I love this type of writing....crafty, clever.....just right! Great job!

Nice sounding live tracks, recorded clean. By the B section of the song I am into it. Has a classic lounge feel and sound. Love how the drums start with brushes and switches smoothly to sticks. Nice press roll at 1:11. Vocalist sounds like she has had a good long career of singing. The edits you made were probably good because the song length and form is good, it doesn't ever get boring.

This is a great jazz piece. Loved the vocals, a cross of Billie Holiday and Nancy Wilson. Great instrumentation comma and I love the old Jazz feel. This reminds me of the music my uncle played as a drummer with jazz great Jay McSmhann. Very impressive music and I loved every moment of it. Well done!

Good jazz is hard to come by and this is a good one, to me this one of them to keep in your jazz collection. Vocals sound good they fit the music very well, over all movement of song works with vocals, recorded great mix great it is just an over all good jazz track would love to hear more

Very unique voice. The pitch is right on. Nice recording of the rhythm section. I like this song. Great sax solo!!

Nice straight-ahead jazz groove.
