Keith Frank Song Lyric

Anyone able to tell me what KF is singing in the last line of the first verse of this song? :

Dreams Come Alive

http://www.reverbnation.com/play_now/song_2554306

Verse goes :

I thought I would have given up,
Yes I thought I really had enough,
And all of my dreams,
????????????

Re: Keith Frank Song Lyric

"save the mitapull tea"

my best guess...

Re: Keith Frank Song Lyric

And all of my dreams, "seemed to have reached an end"

I thought I would have given up,
Yes I thought I really had enough,
And all of my dreams,
"seemed to have reached an end"

?

i mean does it matter?
it;s interesting, what he actually said
but if you just want to sing the song, you can just insert something reasonable and go from there
it;s not like anyone ELSE will know what it is, or complain about it

i mean what would even keith frank do?
he;d probably be thrilled someone was singing his song

if you do call or email him [i emailed KFs phone no privatelyu] - ask him if he made a mistake on the recording

that;s what it sounds like to me

just made up something on the spot to cover,
but it;s not really intelligible

the rest of the vocals are pretty clear
this one sounds bungled

Re: And all of my dreams, "seemed to have reached an end"

At 0:58 in the song? That's a good guess, Larry, but now I'm thinking he's singing "seemed ta reach da pull ting."

I don't hear "have" or "end" in that line. Then again, I have ears the size of a guitar pick. Similar shape too.

I think we're getting closer to unravelling this line. Reminds me Buckwheat Sings on Saturday Night Live. "Munce... Tice... Fee times a mady..."

Re: And all of my dreams, "seemed to have reached an end"

LOL... I already have alternative lyrics that would fit and I'd be OK to run with in my band...it's just that I can't sleep at nights not having the right answer to the question, so on Larry's advice I've emailed KF on MySpace...I hope I'll get a reply...and I'll enlighten y'all.
I can't believe anyone would do a recording session and allow that 'mumble' to remain..it's really easy to cut and paste a clearer vocal line in digital recording processes.

BUT..in the meantime, if anyone has a take on it other than what's already been advised that'd be fun to read...and welcome to my nightmare guys....Ha !
