I Still Love You (ballad)
Nice simple pop recording with a 60's French feel to it. The melody is enjoyable to listen to.

Your music is very interesting and original, with a combination of Adult Contemporary, Folk, and Latin Pop influences. The wonderful beat maintains an upbeat groove, while the instrumentation keeps the emotional tone soft and playful. Your vocals are soft and extremely melodic. Great work! - 9/10
Your melodies, are simple, yet very original. Great composing. - 9/10
Your title has a good, heartwarming feel and is highly reflective of the song, making it a wonderful choice. - 9/10
Your song has a strong arrangement, excellent tempo and rhythm, superb instrumentation, and outstanding production quality. This song is studio grade! The only thing I would recommend is fading the ending out a bit slower, either on a sustained note or a continuation of the melody. Otherwise, your work is outstanding! - 9/10
I believe your song has very good potential for the Adult Contemporary market, with even a slight possibility of crossing over into the Pop arena. Your song also has a distinct international flair, making it ripe for global markets.

Lyrics
God knows why
You hurt me passing by
Won't you believe me
And forgive me till I die
And I cry
I still love you
I still love you
After all is said and done
Can't you see you are the one to me
Day by day
I try to find my way
To make you mine
Though the time has gone away
And I say
I still love you
I still love you
After all is said and done
Can't you see you are the one to me
