Chain Of Broken Dreams
copyright Stone, Slaughter & cooter
I've been thinking 'bout the price of a lonely heart
I've been thinking 'bout the way to make a new start
And I've been waiting on time to heal it all
Afraid to stand, 'cause it always means I'll fall
I'm locked in this chain of broken dreams, the victim of all my hopeless schemes
Held prisoner, by illusion, it seems
I believe that I'm standing on the brink, of finally adding the missing link
Then I'll break-free from this chain of broken dreams
Lately I've been drowning in a river of tears
Standing in the shadows of love, fighting these fears
Somehow, somebody's gonna turn the key
Somewhere there's someone, who'll set me free
I'm locked in this chain of broken dreams, the victim of all my hopeless schemes
Held prisioner, by illusion, it seems
I believe that I'm standing on the brink, of finally adding the missing link
Then I'll break-free from this chain of broken dreams
After sifting through the maze of my yesterdays
I believe the answer lies, in tomorrows sunrise
But I'm ready to try, and lose this lonely heart
And with another deep breath, I'll make a new start
It may take some time to climb this wall
When I reach the top, here comes the fall
I'm locked in this chain of broken dreams, the victim of all my hopeless schemes
Held prisoner, by illusion it seems
I believe that I'm standing on the brink, of finally adding the missing link
Then I'll break-free from this chain of broken dreams
Yes I'll break-free from this chain of broken dreams
If you would just explain, how to let go of this pain
Then I'll break-free from this chain of broken dreams

10 years later & I still love this song ~ forever new to me
How are you guys not famous?
Awesome.. This is good stuff! Thank you for uploading it
Pro songwriting and arrangement suitable for radio play. Very clear and concise thinking went into this song. And the performance, lyrics and production only serve as punctuation. Superb pop demeanor and attitude make this a great mature offering. Kudos guys. Wonderful piece of music!! ..Blake
Kooder!! This song draws you in and keeps you grooving along 'til the end. Such a bittersweet song with an upbeat groove.
Kudos,
~Dolce~
Ed and Kooder, I can't believe I've missed your music until now. You two write really well together and the performances are really top notch. Glad to see I've still got more to catch up. You've got me hooked. Great work again. Cheers, Brian

Well produced song, with some elements in almost Country-style.. I like the vocals very much, it helps to make the song as strong as it is.
The lyrics are good and makes the melody whole!

Hey kooder, very commercial tune you have here. Nice vibe, solid vocals and the lyrics are very well written. I take it you love to write songs. Nice job on that front. Super vocals and all the back beat musicians. Nice tune. Enjoyed the listen.
Well that opening chord made me jump LOL
You see I had been recording very quietly,and I use the same set up for the web as I do recording,so it came through a tad loud LOL......
Ok,survived the shock
I read your bio,and yes,we share that passion.
Nothing quite like sitting down and writing a song.
This is only the second song of yours I have listened to,but two things stick in my mind.
1: QUALITY,no substitute for it.
2: A man sat down with an acoustic and a note pad.
1 starts with 2 and ends in 2.
It is very evident you have spent many years learning your sopngwriting craft.
Nothing here by accident.
I would imagine you guys will be,if not already,a big hit on Mixposure radio shows.
If you are not on the shows yet,approach the dj's here, toa man they are always welcoming.
It's radio ready and ready to roll.
Class,top to bottom.
Great song kooder! I like the fretless bass sound in your songs. Great melody and lyric! As before great production in you songs!
Farrell
Wow, this is really well done! Very cross genre, too. I can imagine this being played on several different radio venues - especially since it's really got that Americana vibe happening. Great lyrics, and equally well produced. The tracks levels in this are absolutely perfect.
Another clean and pro production. Great balance on instruments here. Vocals are superb.
Dave
Love the guitar work in this tune. Clean melody is awesome. Vocals are well done and lyrically this is a gem. No complaints here. Keep them coming!
An excellent crossover song kooder.....I've come to the conclusion that kooder doesn't write anything bad...they are all hit quality!
Farrell
Wooowee..Now this is really cool...Very tight musically and I love the vocalists voice which reminds me of Bruce Springstein..A great listen..
Thankyou so much for listening to my new song, sorry to write that here but my pms appear to arrive minus the content..
Love Margot..:-)
Kooder... I can't get enough of this song.. Listening for the second time.. Sang along the first time round .. Ok.. and the second too.(lol). Should have it memorized by the time I finish this review.. Though I do it no justice at all with my voice... hehehe
IMHO .. This is radio ready.. Am surprised it hasn't been picked up yet.. Very catchy melody.. The lyrics touch the very core of me.. The music & vocals are Wonderful.. A definite 5****'s .. Am so happy you have it up for D/L.. Thank You so much!!!
Wishing You All The Best,
