FDP Jam Tracks
This band page is going to be used for all of the jam tracks that have been posted by the FDP users at the "Home Recording" section at FenderForum.com. Check it out. Folks lay down basic bass/drums/guitar/effect tracks and allow users to add guitar and other parts. Pretty cool.

Lyrics
What If
© Emmrich 2011
(verse)
I used to look at the flame in your eyes
I thought it was a refection of love
Now all I see is the cold gray dawn
It’s because of things I have done
(verse)
If hearts didn’t tear, would that light still be there
would it warm my soul just by glancing?
can we never go back, has time covered our tracks
and our future is left only to chance
(chorus)
One more try, before we say goodbye
is that a hopeless wish
Can you overcome, what I have done
or am I left wondering "What If?""
(verse)
if we visited our past and went down another path
would it all turn out the same
are we trapped in a cycle that repeats for all time
the mistakes, the mis-steps and blame
(chorus again)
(bridge)
Antony and Cleopatra,
Delilah and Sampson
star crossed lovers it seems
I thought we'd get there
but I've cut off my hair
I'm left with only memories to keep
(chorus again and tag ending)
Kevin: vocal, acoustic guitar
BIAB: bass, drums, piano, acoustic guitars, fiddle, pedal steel
Great melody, vocals, lyrics, storyline and the band sounds great too. ;)
