Back to Open Mic

This is the second of the three songs Sergio, Alex and I completed when Sergio and I visited Alex in Peterborough a couple of weeks ago. The others are Love Songs in the Rain and My Friend Jen. The photos show Alex and Sergio at work under the gaze of some interested on-lookers, and Sergio lost deep in the song.



Note: this song reached #1 on the overall chart on July 31, 2006. Thanks for listening! Music written and performed by Alex Stangl Words by Jeff Mondak Vocal by Sergio Wals In the Morn The promises we made were never meant to be undone We're not the only lovers who found two is less than one You've packed your things and said goodbye, you're headed toward the door But don't you go 'cause we both know we still can love some more ‘cause right now the thing I'm thinking, we've got wine we should be drinking One last night to toast these golden rings we've worn And although you'll soon be leaving I'm not ready to start grieving There will be time enough for mourning in the morn There will be time enough for mourning in the morn I know enough to see that we're not worth another chance But that don't mean that you should leave before our final dance Come hold my hand and stay with me with neither asking why When love is gone before the dawn we'll say our last goodbye ‘cause right now the thing I'm thinking, we've got wine we should be drinking One last night to toast these golden rings we've worn And although you'll soon be leaving I'm not ready to start grieving There will be time enough for mourning in the morn There will be time enough for mourning in the morn You insist our love is dying, that you've had enough of trying And the bond we’ve shared is tattered and it's torn But although you'll soon be leaving I'm not ready to start grieving There will be time enough for mourning in the morn There will be time enough for mourning in the morn

this guy has a great voice. I think alex should of did the swells alittle loader. but I respect his jugment of what should have been done. this is another number one hit. the other song went though the roof. this one might just do the same.

What a pretty sad song. The guitar reminded me a bit of Roy Orbison. Very sad, sweet lyrics Jeff. Music and production is wonderful Alex. Great vocal Sergio. Really enjoyed the listen guys. Cyndie

Nice writing Jeff! Sad but very sweet and of course, Alex made it into a beautiful song with the help of "Melvis"! Great colaboration! Sergio has a great quality to his voice that is easy to listen to.

If NAFTA produces great results like this I'm all for it. First of all fantastic lyrics Jeff - great hook! The soulful singing of Sergio sounded so sincere. And the instrumentation and production from Alex is first class! I really like openness of the chorus near the end where you hear just the acoutic guitar and vocals - it really makes the harmonies shine. Utterly fantastic!~Jeff

Enjoyed working on this Jeff & Sergio - I guess the whole "song on the spot" aspect was cool -- which is how I operate on my own anyway - but - with 3 people throwning in their 2 cents at the same time - that was a rather new experience for me --- on a side note - the band next door says "hey" -- great stuff Sergio & Jeff - ~AS~

Yes, yes, yes, these vocals are superb - and the lyrics are terrific. Catchy and upbeat in a kind of melancholy way. Great job by all!

Love that wall of guitars: the tremolo chords, the twangy lead, the shimmery acoustic, and those cool little volume swells. The lyrics are excellent: "We're not the only lovers who found two is less than one" -- great line, Jeff!! Sergio puts in another stellar vocal performance here! Killer collab, guys!!! -dt-
